How to paint like the Old Masters using modern materials
Hi, my name is Sandra Alina, I`m an art lover and I think that art expresses our inner reality.
For as long as I can remember I have had a pencil in my hand. I spent part of my childhood in a rural area of Romania. There was no art teacher or art classes at that time.

My name is Ton Willems a part time artist from the Netherlands beside a full time job in Information technology.
