I am passionate about figurative painting

Artwork by Gonca Yengin

how-to-paint-I want to learn to paint like the old masters

I make sure to draw or paint daily to constantly keep improving my skills

Artwork by Nella Schirinzi

I’m a self taught artist with some higher education in Fine Art. I’m Italian & English and currently based in the UK. I work full time in Admin and spend most evenings painting.

Art has and has always had a large place in my life. From visiting museums and spending time trying to recreate old master paintings, I study and read about various art movements. I also find the history and narrative behind old painting very interesting as they add to the piece’s intrigue. I make sure to draw or paint daily to constantly keep improving my skills. …

… I’d love to be able to create pieces of Art to honour the Renaissance Masters and keep this style of Art alive.

I consider myself a self-taught artist

Artwork by Alison de Sando

… My dream as an artist has always been to be able to attend an art academy outside my country, and to learn more about the techniques of the old masters, which have always been my greatest inspiration, but due to financial difficulties this was not possible, and the “old masters” academy “seems to me to be a great and would be online art academy, which comes to bring precisely the knowledge I always dreamed … the techniques of the old masters !!!!

I am self taught artist with the internal need to create

Artwork by Peggy Bobon

… My artistic challenges are that my portraits can be flat and lack the fleshiness of skin. Fabric is a challenge in creating the natural folds and light reflection.

I am self taught artist with the internal need to create and never having an “art lesson”. The Old Masters Academy lessons would elevate my art from a hobby to possibly doing commission work someday. …

I’m an entirely self-taught artist

Artwork by Jeff Vehige

My name is Jeff, and I’m a 45-year-old stay-at-home dad of four kids. I gave up an academic career for my kids, and now that the oldest is off to college and the youngest is eleven, it’s time that I start thinking about my “second” career. I want that to be art. …

…Over the past two years of painting, my artistic interests have evolved. At first, I thought I’d be a happy landscape painter. But now I know I want to tell stories with my paintings, and that means mastering the human face and figure. When I look at the history of art, the greatest figures painters were the Old Masters and all the contemporary artists who follow in their footsteps. That’s the road I want to travel.

I think the Old Masters Academy is a perfect opportunity for learning the “secrets” of the greatest painters who ever lived. I don’t know how far I will go in art, but I want to go as far as I can, to be able to paint whatever I want — or whatever any client wants. That’s I want to win the Old Masters Academy course for that very reason — to begin the journey to becoming a contemporary artist and bring much-needed beauty into this world. …

I want to paint the same way that the old masters did

Artwork by Govind R M

Hey there, I am Govind and am from India. Up until now I have been a self taught artist.
I see and I try to draw or paint whatever I see. But most of my completed works are either not up to my expectations or are simply incomplete.

My favorite artist happens to be Renaissance painter Michelangelo. Such paintings are great source of inspiration to me. Being inspired is one thing, but not able to have great results is another. …
