How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
This is an old painting. I painted it two years ago as a gift to my daughter, who is depicted together with her newborn.
I must admit I do not have enough discipline to do all the exercises from the Old Masters Academy course. I skipped some of the exercises on color theory — I wanted to paint my children and grandchildren straight away — that’s why I started from painting technique lessons. …
I’m a CG artist who has always dreamed of doing more with my personal artwork.
I have always admired the old masters since my childhood when I collected magazine prints of DaVinci and Raphael.

Hi, I’m Brodie. I’m a 19 year old aspiring painter. I’m entirety self taught and have had no formal training in painting at all.
Art is the most important thing in my life and it has been for as long as I can remember really.
My greatest ambition is simply to be able to say that I’ve created something that can be called a “masterpiece”; I want to be able to compete with the greatest painters of the history of art.
I think the Old Masters Academy Course offers a great service to those who are seeking a way to make art that just isn’t taught anymore. They offer help and advice and tutoring on the methods of the greatest painters who have lived and many people have highly regarded them for their efforts in this. …
I have been dabbling in the arts for many years, and actually went to the University in Windsor Ontario and received a bachelor of Fine Arts.

Years ago I started to draw and paint as something natural in me, and I made one mistake, never asked for help or instruction, always though that the conventional schools of art were excessively expensive and unreachable, for that reason I never had the education in art that I wanted.

In art I would like to have the instruction and the guided practice to produce decent pieces of art and develop a consistent technique that produce a consistent result. …
Several years ago I became very ill and the many activities that I use to participate in are not possible. I will have to leave the activities that require a lot of physical stamina to a younger and stronger generation.
Since I was very young art has always been a part of my life. I want to be able to express how I feel about the world around me to others by sharing my talents. Since I can no longer do things like paint a logo on the Boy Scouts Trailer I need to find a way to do that.
I went to college in the 1960’s and there was an attitude that you didn’t need to know how to paint or draw realistically to be an artist. I have always felt that there was something missing and it seems that the Old Masters Academy is where one can gain those missing skills.
In addition, how much fun will it be to paint realistic portraits of my Grandchildren and the cute little neighbor kids that seem to love to come to my house. …
