painting portraits as a story-artist

Painting portraits as a story

Artwork by Karin

… Art is what I breath, and not a hobby. But the challenge is to get more into the style of the old masters. That’s what I always longed for.

I am mostly known for my portraits of African people, and my latest portrait of Nina Simone has the title Colour is a beautiful thing.

My value is diversity. The challenge is to have my sketchbook and sketch from life to later use it in my painting. It would make my artistic life so much more easy as well applying the old masters styles with confidence.

I think the Old Masters Academy is the missing link in all art education. They do not teach this in the academy and I see this as a must for every artist who takes her/himself seriously. …

I decided to become a full time artist

Artwork by Jenifer Sherina Edwin

… I’m interested in learning the techniques and styles of the old masters and honing my skills as an artist. This is exactly what the old masters academy is trying to teach prospective artists. As a person who took up art for a profession without a formal training in art, I would like to inspire people to follow their dreams.

I want to perfect my oil painting skills, especially in the style of the old masters

Artwork by Anne Sheppard

Talking about myself is not a comfortable conversation to have. It is not that I feel sorry for myself, but I often berate my self for not seeming to produce more work. I studied Art at school, Art school and college and the promptly changed track to that all familiar territory of earning a regular living.

I am 56 woman who leads a quiet life, reading, writing, gardening, sewing, cooking and a keen amateur astronomer. I have a part time retail job, with the bonus of excellent and supportive friends and family.

Art is imperative to my daily life. I find the very actions of drawing or painting to be the ultimate cohesion of hard work and relaxation. I can work on a piece at any time of the day and still have butterflies at the thought of shutting out the world and mixing the paint. Being any kind of artist or creative person can be a solitary, even lonely profession or hobby, but it is embedded in my very being, albeit in a very quiet and private way. …
