Old Masters Academy review by Mojca Novak

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

As a child, I had art lessons, and afterwards our family friend taught me to paint in oils. He was a good painter, but the techniques he used and taught me were very different from what I saw in museums. …

… Shortly after enrolling in the Old Masters Academy online painting course, my approach in oil painting started to shift. I no longer paint in all-prima. Even though this technique is fast and straightforward, I want to attain in my paintings a different feel, which is only achievable with multiples glazes. I’m still learning. It takes much longer to make one portrait with this new technique I learned in the Old Masters Academy, but the result is worth it. …

Old Masters Academy review by Phung Le

I am so pleased that I made my dreams

Hi, I’m Phung Le from Vietnam.

Over the past fee years, I wanted to learn to oil paint. There are no classical oil painting instructors or courses where I live. For the most part, I was a graphic designer, until… I found your tutorials. I was enthralled straight away.

After taking the Art Academy Course , I have made significant progress in using colors; my portrait painting skills just went on another level.

Old Masters Academy review by Le Thi Minh Phung

This course gave me a solid foundation so I could pursue my life-long dream

I’m Le Phung and I’m from Vietnam. Five years ago, I was a passionate graphic designer. I dreamed that I can make oil painting portraits of my father, my mother, and my daughter. But it was really hard because I’ve drawn on a computer.

A while ago I decided to pursue my childhood dream of painting in oil, but I did not know where to start. Fortunately, I have found online art courses – Web Art Academy and Drawing Academy where I can learn oil painting and drawing at home. These courses so much necessary knowledge about painting and drawing from basic to advanced levels, have easy to understand and follow video lessons and many bonuses.

These lessons helped me to improve my drawing and painting skills and understand art I love so much more deeply.

Old Masters Academy review by Linda Duckworth

Working toward my best

I am an amateur who has always loved art, but when I told my parents I wanted to major in art, after a lengthy silence, my mom simply said, “But you like to eat.” So I majored in the sciences. Great career, but sure missed the Art.

But now, many decades later, the Old Masters Academy is a dream come true – the courses I couldn’t take when younger are now readily available whenever I am ready to learn. And they are worth watching repeatedly! …

Old Masters Academy review by Songsari

After 3 decades later, now I am ready to do what I always wanted to do

I was consider myself very very talented in drawing when I was in high school but I didn’t wanted have a normal life with decent standard of living… I mean, I love Art but I didn’t go through the way what many masters went through… There was fear in my heart when I read life story of Van Gogh… I thought, I always able to in Art or painting after when I financially settle… So, I majored Engineering instead of Fine Art.. Soon, I realized that I made wrong decision..

I was changed my major to Graphic Design and I able to get a job in this field but initial earning out of this field was same as amateur artist…
Unable make living… I became computer tech. to just able to make living…

After 3 decades later, now I am ready to do what I always tend to do…
