The Untrained Artist!

Artwork by Desiree Morgan

From a young adult I have always found ways to express myself. I have had various careers searching and wanting to peruse my passions but I could never find it. Now, as I am finishing my bachelors degree in Art Education I felt like if I could have found out this is where my passion for art has lead me I would have hoped for much clearer directions! Art has given me so much hope in life that I would like to pressure different techniques and become a Master Artist one day like Nataile Richy! …

… People should vote for me because I am strong willed and I wont give up until I fully master my accomplishments and I wont give up that easy! If “God” gave me a Heart then I shall follow it easily.

A Chance to Finally Learn

Artwork by Sarah

Art has always been a love of mine and something I took great pleasure from. I am a teacher. I am married with children. I had a happy childhood and was good at school. I loved art and took it as a subject in secondary school. I spoke to my teacher about developing a portfolio in order to attend Art College. …

… I would love to win the Old Masters Academy™ course for many reasons. I really respect the work of these artists and always have. I want to be as good as them. I have no money for the foreseeable future. There’s no way I would have the time for full time college or the money. I can’t believe this has come up now because I’ve been asking for a sign to give me some direction for me and for my art. The Old Masters Academy™ has excellent advice and resources and has so much that I want to learn. I don’t want to go back to my job but need to have a purpose and a way to feed my children at the same time. I want to take the plunge and be the artist I’ve always wanted.

how-to-paint-Self taught artist trying to become a professional

Self taught artist trying to become a professional!!

Artwork by Lucy Ambler

I’m a 27 year old self-taught oil painter. I live in London and i’m trying to make a living solely from art (i.e teaching, commissions, etc). We all know this is a hard hustle! I love painting, it brings me so much peace and it allows for self reflection and expansion in a time where the world is crowding in on our sense of identity. …

… I want to achieve the life-like quality of the old masters portraits. They had the ability to use technical skill to bring a portrait to life and I would like to learn how to breathe life into my subjects and make the process look somehow ‘effortless’ which is the real mastery behind the great painters. …

how-to-paint-focus on studying painting

I started to focus on studying painting on my own

Artwork by Ozlem

… I felt as if I was playing a role which was not my own. In addition, while I faced an unfortunate injury on my hand, I finally understood that I only felt sad that I may never be able to paint again.

After deciding to focus on painting, I started to grasp the vastness of knowledge that I must learn such as , how to use brushes, mix colors, prepare canvases, draw perspective, build layers, etc. Although I visited museums as much as possible last year, I realized that there is indeed a limit on what you can learn by only looking at old & new masters works or reading art books. That was when I finally found Old Masters Academy. …

This Old Lady Needs Old Masters Academy Lessons!

Artwork by Katherine Pohl

Sending me to my room as a child wasn’t a punishment for me. My sketchbooks were full, and my pencils worn down. I loved to draw and I took advantage of the wooded area across from my home as inspiration.

Art has always been a part of my life until it wasn’t. My ex husband didn’t encourage art in my life and so, my creativity was stifled. I spent the next 26 years forgetting my first love until I was given a new set of brushes, paints and canvas as a Valentine’s gift from my now husband. …

I want to learn how to paint what I see

Artwork by Marcelo

… I want to learn how to paint what I see but also to paint some ideas, I have wrote several poems that I wish I can paint, those images does not exist in reality but I want them to become real.

Art is allowing me say things I cannot say or would not say, it let me study the things at my surroundings, it has taught me how to look, see and appreciate some things, it has given me a different concept of beauty. …

… I think Old Masters Academy is a great place to learn, the intro videos and thematic lists suggests so, also there are hundreds of online reviews recommending this amazing course.
