What Natalie Richy’s students are saying:

I always wanted to learn art in a traditional way. In Old Masters Academy I found exactly what I was looking for, and I love it. I want to congratulate you for your amazing talent. I am a self-taught artist and your tutorials have helped me a lot in answering many questions that I have. Thank you so much.

I am so happy to have found your site! The videos of Ms. Richy’s drawing and painting processes are very instructive and definitely worth repeated viewings, revealing many close-ups of her works in progress. Learning the traditions of the Old Masters could only increase artistic creativity. As such, I will take great pride in being a part of this community.

I have had some formal art education and got my MFA a decade ago, but the Old Masters Academy surpassed all my expectations. This course is amazing; I wish I would have found it earlier!
Denise

Thank you so much for your ongoing help! You are always there and you have always responded quickly and kindly. Knowing that I can rely on my personal art teacher whenever I need some support is invaluable.
Susan

Thank you very much for your support. I’m glad I signed up to the Old Masters Academy. I had no experience at all in oil painting before, and the results on my first portraits are really awesome. You gave me the key to express myself on a canvas and I love what comes out from my brush!
Jorge Padilla

I had some training before, but I never came across a place or a person who had enough to teach me how to use oil paint professionally. I can just watch Natalie paint for hours and hours and I’ll enjoy every minute of it. The videos are really inspiring. It’s a perfect community for anyone who appreciates Art and wants to find their own voice in the Art world. Thank you for creating all of this.
Jasmin

Thanks a million for your course. I have had some formal art education, but have never found such good information and instruction before. So I thank you, also for your patience and help. I have learnt more from you than I have before by going from course to course and schools over many years. Now I have found all the information in one place. My painting has improved and my outlook also. I think the Old Masters paintings are incredible.
