Learn from the Old Masters

Painting is the process of turning real life into art, so one of the most important things you need to do is study. Take a look at paintings of different periods of art history – you’ll notice how the interpretation of colours and light develops over the years. I love the style of the artists from the Baroque and Romanticism periods, and try to use some of their methods in my art. Study your favourite art movements, and you’ll pick up practical advice as well as a lot of new ideas.
