Artwork by Julie Evans

I am an artist. My name is Julie Evans. I have been oil painting since I was 11 years old, as well as watercolor painting. I started drawing even earlier. I just turned 55 this month.

I am primarily an oil painter, but occasionally enjoy using watercolors and other mediums. I have been known for my realistic portrayals of nature, having painted hundreds of landscapes. I have also painted still life and portraits.

I paint on location and in my home studio where my fervor for nature’s beauty translates to my painting. Art also appeals to my analytical mind. I enjoy playing with the laws of nature and subtle nuances of the laws of light and spotlighting. I find painting harmonious with the exciting spellbinding search for perfection and order. I use oil paint and thousands of tiny brushstrokes, burning hours upon hours fueled with intense concentration on the subject at hand, to package my presentation to the world. …

Artwork by Jose Gerardo Rico Mutiz

Art is the elixir of life for me, and the core of how I seek to contribute to the world.

I have been a self-study, learning what I can about techniques and marketing to allow me to grow in my craft. However, I seek to organize and classify my learnings and to develop a stronger foundation for my artistic development.

My greatest desire is to be able to create art based on my deepest feelings, thoughts and intentions. I seek to have the technique to be able to convey a message effectively to an audience. …

Artwork by Christina O’Neill

My name is Christina, and I am a 47-year-old businesswoman, mother, grandmother, wife and a lifelong lover of the arts!

Art has always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Anywhere from dancing, singing, acting to art collecting. However, my real passion is painting.

From an early age I was always trying to understand, recreate and dissect the old masters’ techniques and applications. I have no formal training, however, continue to study on my own and continue my search for the secrets of the masters. …

Artwork by Debs

My name is Debbie and I am in my early 60’s. I spent my working life as an aesthetician which I loved. I live on a wine farm in the Cape in South Africa. My husband and I have two adults sons and my treasured German Shepard rescue dog.

Although I have no formal art training I have over many years attended various short art modules at a local studio. Art is in my ‘sole’ and I feel a persistent desire to keep on trying. I feel vulnerable each time I begin a new piece. It is challenging and often stressful because I care! It is such a rush and fantastic sense of accomplishment and joy when the flow is right. Art is a passion that flows through my life and now I am retired I am so enjoying the freedom of diving deeper into my creative side! …

I am painting pet portraits for myself, family and friends

Artwork by Mary Connor

Much of my adult life was spent as President/Executive of a large Humane Society with a city contract for animal services. I worked daily with the tragic consequence of our nation’s pet over-population crisis, taking in over 20,000 lost and abandoned cats and dogs each year. In retirement, I started painting pet portraits for myself, family and friends. Eventually, others came to me. I found it an immensely satisfying balance to my previous life to now be surrounded by pets who are so cherished that people wanted portraits to hang with their other family members! …

Artwork by Lennox Aro

I am an artist that years ago had 5 children, all one year apart from each other. I was literally halted in my art production efforts and I feel eager to get back into the seeing of producing and hopefully showing. They are now older, and at this point in my life, I feel I can see the light at the end f the tunnel of the intense part of parenting. I feel and think I am at this point in time, ready for something more. …

Artwork by Katia

I want to devote my whole life to painting. I’m 30 years old. I have been engaging in drawing 6 years. Now, I’m looking for a way to improve my drawing and painting skills. In my country, I could not find the proper art tuition, but I am inspired by your courses.

I paint intuitively, as I do not have required knowledge in academic drawing. Without that knowledge it’s difficult to depict people properly. …

Artwork by John Gallivan

I wasn’t allowed to paint when I was young.. well as a child I was but when it was time to chose what I wanted to do my parents wouldn’t let me follow my artists heart. 30 years of mediocrity later whilst working as a teaching assistant in a special school I eventually got the opportunity to do my art gcse, and passed with an A grade. But as full filling as it was my skills are I ratio and inconsistent. Where am I artistically, hit and miss…

Artwork by Lois

I am learning, beginning again. Every day. Learning to stay in the present moment and practice. Priorities always take place and I’m interrupted again and it feels like I’ll never get there. I want to be proficient and it takes knowledge for that! And practice.

So I’d like to win the Old Masters Academy course because there is so much knowledge and experience offered there that I know I would benefit immensely. As would anybody who wins or buys this course! …
