I am a lover of nature and my favorite activity (after making art) is hiking in the woods near my home.

I draw a lot of inspiration from the woods and creek near my house and have painted many scenes from the park. I have drawn and painted most of my life. I have been a graphic designer throughout my professional career and owned a graphic arts studio for many years. My subjects run the gamut, but I love portraiture and landscapes the most.

My landscapes often include trees and the trees often exhibit human qualities. I have recently taken several life drawing classes and find that I approach my drawings of the human body as landscapes.

I love drawing and painting the subtle movement of light on the human form…

Old Masters Academy course student

… A year ago I began studying this wonderful course. I read and listened over and over again all the art lessons and art history. I was overwhelmed by all the information and precision of the art lessons. So much to learn and practice. Let me tell you, I was pretty scared. I had a lot of work ahead of me, but I enjoyed it so much.

Even if I’m retired, I am a very busy lady. I took my time and went through nearly all of the lessons and did the exercises. My goal was to paint a portrait in the style of the 16th century. …

… A happy member and student of the Old Masters Academy.

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. …
