I am finally able to paint what I have envisioned

Artwork by Robin Oliver

… I am certified in Scientific Illustration and have recently completed an Associates degree in Graphic Design, though these are merely tools and methods, they will not take me where I need to go without the soul power found in the depth, elegance and lavish detail utilized by the Renaissance masters. …

… The knowledge that you offer in your Old Masters Academy course would allow me to endow my paintings with a more robust sense of realism, to create a visual space which the viewer could almost enter and also act as a door way through which I can finally pass and find myself in the long awaited companionship of the of the blue moon.

Old Masters Academy review by Suzan

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

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. …

Help me paint my masterpiece

Artwork by Brodie Wilson

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. …

The Old Masters in Me

Paintings by Caroline Bell-Reed

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.
My enjoyment of art comes from pleasing others….its very gratifying when my art is appreciated and valued…..and even treasured.

I would like to learn how to loosen up, add drama and boldness in my portrait work. There are so many things I need to learn to be good.

The Old Masters Academy would be a great resource – I believe winning the course would vastly improve anyone’s skills….it would be an honor and a privilege to take the course. …

I have never had any instruction in art and it is time to learn from the Masters

by Guillermo Novo

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.

I can’t stop loving art and trying to learn to produce beautiful art and trying to get better which is difficult without the correct guidance and instructions.

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. …
