impress people with my art-self-taught-artist

April 14, 2022 Leave a Comment

I would like to impress people with my art

Painting by Victoria Lian

I live in Croatia where is very bad art education. In Croatia, there is only one academy of art and four art schools. I have been surrounded by art all my life and art made a lot of influence on me.

My dad has when he was younger painted some paintings and made some wooden sculptures what were in the time displayed in the school, my mother has been fascinated by photography.

My challenge is to paint or draw something that I like and stop painting paintings that would people with some knowledge of art call pure ugliness. I would love to learn the techniques of the old masters and how to properly use art materials.

I would also like to impress people with my art. …

Nothing teaches you patience like waiting for paint to dry

Artwork by Frederick Wayne Woods

I am now 79 years old.
I started painting approximately 10 years ago. I refused to set around and watch TV like some of my friends.

It is almost like having a Job. I get up in the morning and know exactly what I am going to do. I go down to my basement studio, start preparing for the days painting. Some times when I get really interested in a painting, I may work around the clock until it is finished. I can never say a painting is finished. If you are as critical as I, you can always find fault and try to change this and that. However, you must come to a point the lay down the brush. …

I hope to improve my art skills and finally have an exhibition

Paintings by Karin Kuilmam

After my four children were all grown, I finally started painting as an almost daily practice again.

I love watching old master’s paintings, learn from them and try to make paintings inspired by them.
I am trying all kinds of materials, like egg tempera, acrylic paint, watercolor and pastels, and I bought oils but die not use them because they kind of impress me.

When I was young I was always drawing and when I was eighteen I went to art school. But my parents were not very happy with it so I became a primaryschool teacher instead, and I loved teaching children, and loved doing art with them.

All those years raising my own children and teaching at school there never seemed to be time to do some painting myself. …
