… My artistic challenges is the technical part of art. The “rules” of art. I struggle to find someone to teach me more in depth understanding of art and how to use the rules to express yourself.
Everybody just tells to just express myself, but I want in depth understanding of art and its form of expression.

I have followed the old masters academy for over a few years now. Its one of a few art institutions that will bring back good art and the skills of good art. …

Artworks Before and After the Old Masters Academy course

I saw an Old Masters Academy’s student’s feedback, where she shows her before and after portraits, so I decided to share my progress as well. …

Thank you for the course and above all for explaining how to mix paints more efficiently; it was a big challenge for me, as I often mixed wrong colors and wasted a lot of paint.

I am prepared to commit every available moment to my art

After years of putting my artistic pursuits aside and working to provide a comfortable home and lifestyle for my family, it is now my turn to return to those dreams and develop a strong artistic position within the world of Artists. …

I aim to learn and promote the traditional classical style of painting to a high degree as I feel this skill has been lost over the past 150 years or so. I want to lead the way in realist painting and teach upcoming artists there is more to true art than throwing paint at a canvas and making up a story to suit the result of the splattered paint on the canvas.

From what I can gather, the Old Masters Academy is what the world needs now to bring reality (and Realism) back. …

… I am certified in Scientific Illustration and have recently completed an Associates degree in Graphic Design, though these are merely tools and methods, they will not take me where I need to go without the soul power found in the depth, elegance and lavish detail utilized by the Renaissance masters. …

… The knowledge that you offer in your Old Masters Academy course would allow me to endow my paintings with a more robust sense of realism, to create a visual space which the viewer could almost enter and also act as a door way through which I can finally pass and find myself in the long awaited companionship of the of the blue moon.

Before and After by an Old Masters Academy student

This is an old painting. I painted it two years ago as a gift to my daughter, who is depicted together with her newborn.

I must admit I do not have enough discipline to do all the exercises from the Old Masters Academy course. I skipped some of the exercises on color theory — I wanted to paint my children and grandchildren straight away — that’s why I started from painting technique lessons. …

Artwork by Brodie Wilson

Hi, I’m Brodie. I’m a 19 year old aspiring painter. I’m entirety self taught and have had no formal training in painting at all.

Art is the most important thing in my life and it has been for as long as I can remember really.

My greatest ambition is simply to be able to say that I’ve created something that can be called a “masterpiece”; I want to be able to compete with the greatest painters of the history of art.

I think the Old Masters Academy Course offers a great service to those who are seeking a way to make art that just isn’t taught anymore. They offer help and advice and tutoring on the methods of the greatest painters who have lived and many people have highly regarded them for their efforts in this. …

Paintings by Caroline Bell-Reed

I have been dabbling in the arts for many years, and actually went to the University in Windsor Ontario and received a bachelor of Fine Arts.
My enjoyment of art comes from pleasing others….its very gratifying when my art is appreciated and valued…..and even treasured.

I would like to learn how to loosen up, add drama and boldness in my portrait work. There are so many things I need to learn to be good.

The Old Masters Academy would be a great resource – I believe winning the course would vastly improve anyone’s skills….it would be an honor and a privilege to take the course. …

by Guillermo Novo

Years ago I started to draw and paint as something natural in me, and I made one mistake, never asked for help or instruction, always though that the conventional schools of art were excessively expensive and unreachable, for that reason I never had the education in art that I wanted.

I can’t stop loving art and trying to learn to produce beautiful art and trying to get better which is difficult without the correct guidance and instructions.

In art I would like to have the instruction and the guided practice to produce decent pieces of art and develop a consistent technique that produce a consistent result. …

Several years ago I became very ill and the many activities that I use to participate in are not possible. I will have to leave the activities that require a lot of physical stamina to a younger and stronger generation.

Since I was very young art has always been a part of my life. I want to be able to express how I feel about the world around me to others by sharing my talents. Since I can no longer do things like paint a logo on the Boy Scouts Trailer I need to find a way to do that.

I went to college in the 1960’s and there was an attitude that you didn’t need to know how to paint or draw realistically to be an artist. I have always felt that there was something missing and it seems that the Old Masters Academy is where one can gain those missing skills.

In addition, how much fun will it be to paint realistic portraits of my Grandchildren and the cute little neighbor kids that seem to love to come to my house. …
