Relearning of oil painting

Artwork by P K Logan

I have degrees in fine art and graphic design, and have worked professionally as a designer my whole adult life. I’m semi-retired now and am starting to re-explore my first love of figure painting.

Art in all forms is my whole life – everything I do and think about revolves around my of love of art.

My challenges are the relearning of oil painting and overcoming those feelings of inadequacy from not being able to paint proficiently at this point.

Art is my first and only love

… My artistic challenges are figure painting and color mixing. I want to learn the techniques of old masters like how to achieve chiaroscuro, painting fluid drapery, painting floral designs on clothing, jewelry and to be able to draw figures from imagination without having a model reference and also learn how to mix colors to achieve better quality artwork.

I think old masters academy is excellent because they are all about the classic techniques of old masters which is exactly what I want.
