Oil Paintings by Phung Le

Over the last years, I have wanted to learn to oil paint. There are no classical oil painting instructors or courses where I live. For the most part, I’m a graphic designer
Until . . . I found your tutorials. I was enthralled straight away.

After participating in the Web Art Academy Course , I have made significant progress in color coordination, portraiture, which is my favorite. I love the classic oil paintings, the colors really attract. I am amazed at what I have painted, and it’s all down to you, your enthusiasm and clear instructions are what gave me the confidence, and got me going.

The whole experience at the Web Art Academ has very much been a transformative journey not only in terms of my art but also within myself.

I am so grateful for all the advice and encouragement I have received.I am pleased to say I have grown more confident in my work and how I express myself on canvas. …

Oil Paintings by Shana Smith

My name is Shana Smith and I’m an artist and teacher living in Chicago.

I’m a figurative artist specializing in sacred art in the Catholic tradition. For me, art is a vocation.
My hope it to reveal the beauty of my faith through work and invite others into the mystery.

I’m always trying to research sound painting methods in the tradition of the old masters as I feel that this will give more power and depth to my work. Also as an art educator in a Catholic high school I am always looking for ways to better connect my students to the heritage of the Church’s art through studio projects, which also drives me to learn more about old master techniques. …

Painting by Carol Holland

I’m semi-retired and need a second income.
Because I’ve always loved art, I’m hoping I can turn it into an income to live on.

I want to learn how to plan a painting, to take it from an accurate sketch to a luminous masterpiece, and I see they teach it here at Old Master’s Academy. I did not get this quality of knowledge in school or college and you can’t get consistent results from YouTube or anything on the internet that is of this caliber that I know of.

It is my desire to communicate and share in my paintings. I cannot do that if I produce bad art. No one will want to buy it. So please help me, vote for me to win the Old Master’s Academy Painting Course. This will begin the next stage in my life, and my livelihood for years to come. …

I want a career and the rewards of being an accomplished artist who is taken seriously

Painting by Dolores Angela Colombo Brittain

I have loved art since I could walk, and throughout the years it has always taken a back burner. Until now.

Of course some may say its too late at 56 to try and become a “master” but I believe that all things are mind over matter.

I constantly challenge myself, and also try to help others. Money has been a reward at times, but really the reward is more spiritual to me, to conquer my fears, and press in. I do a lot of work with elderly people to keep there brain muscle moving creatively, but I’m afraid it barely pays the gas and supplies.

I want a career and the rewards of being an accomplished artist who is taken seriously! …

Oil Painting by by-Adejean-Cardoso

Hello! My name is Adejean, I’m from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro – Brazil. At the moment I’m BS Pharmacy student but always in love with arts (not only drawing and painting, but also music, cinema and theater).

Art is an essential and very special friend in my life. Since I remember I’m very connected with art since childhood, but just now I decided to take it seriously and start to study everything that I could in classical arts. The old masters works are certainly the main inspiration and objective that I have.

My major challenges are in color theory and composition. I already noticed that a minimum mistake in these subjects can destroy all the composition. I’m doing my best studying everything that I can. …

Oil Paintings by Elizabeth Tucker

I started painting and drawing in my late 40’s after my husband, out of the blue, gave me an easel. It went in to the basement. Then he gave me money for art classes. OK….Why not give this a try. I’d always worked with my hands and loved art history so in I dove. It was life changing.
I quit my job and took classes and have never looked back.

I am completely drawn toward a traditional approach and went to a traditional art school but I didn’t learn grisaille and other aspects of old master style painting. It was mostly alla prima. What I learned after school I got from books and on-line.

Art is a MAJOR part of my life. I paint and draw almost every day and I teach painting and drawing. I also run an art group which has over 40 members. What I want to learn are methods that I can not only practice but become completely fluent in so I can pass those traditions on to other students. …

Always wanted to go to Art School. Now I am at a point in life, I can further my dream. …

I decided to devote myself to making art

Painting by Carinnes Dumont

Hi art-lovers,

Four years ago (I was then 53) I considered to devote my life to the art, my children had moved, and I was alone. After long consideration, I decided to leave my home, children and family, friends, my familiar life, and devote myself to making art.

Soon, however, all kinds of difficulties arose, so I had to stop my studies in the local academy of my new residence. Chronic fatigue caused my self-confidence to be completely gone. Stubbornly I continued drawing and painting, I refused to let go of my passion, the only thing that could color my gray days.

I started the Carravagio as an exercise for my daughter, but I have to leave it unfinished. Without professional help I’m afraid to mess it up: I feel a lack of good education. …

Artwork by Nik

Hi, my name is Nik and l am 21 years old. I’m staying with my parents. We have six members in our family.

I love art very much and that is my hobby. I do have a little knowledge about pencil drawing but not much about painting.

I have not taken any art lessons, I just learnt things on my own – I spend almost all the hours of the day in studying art. I think I have improved a lot from the time I started. It doesn’t mean that I’m good enough but I have a lot to learn more and that is the reason I’m entering this competition.

I just want to be better than my yesterday and show the world what I can do with art.
I want to have more knowledge about art. I want to learn everything about art. …
