Artists are born, not made: THIS IS WRONG!
✨ You’ve always been told that mastering oil painting requires natural talent.
✨ You might think that oil painting is not meant for beginner artists.
✨ You assume that oil painting is old fashioned and outdated?
Am I wrong?
Well, these are myths!
There’s no magical, innate talent—what you admire in other artists is simply the result of effort, practice, and dedication.
PATIENCE, DEDICATION, FUN:
these are the three ingredients that make a true oil painter.
Naturally gifted artists do exist, but with the right tools and guidance, anyone can become a professional oil painter. Your skill level doesn’t matter!
My goal is to guide you step by step in this learning process, equipping you with all the knowledge and techniques you need to create beautiful oil paintings.
What do you think? Let’s start this artistic journey together!
Oil Painting is a skill that can be learned!
Are you passionate about art and looking for a new hobby? Do you love drawing and painting but lack the skills to achieve stunning results? Are you a self-taught artist looking to take your work to the next level?
Painting is a talent that everyone can develop!
I designed this course for art lovers of all levels, from complete beginners to those who have already started their painting journey. You will learn how to observe and capture the essence of nature using oil painting as your medium.
Hi! I'm Siobhán
My name is Siobhán Aideen Kaufman. I am a self-taught oil paint artist from the Netherlands with a background in video game concept art. During my studies, I discovered my passion for oil paint, and after some practice, I decided to compete in a painting contest on Dutch television. I placed second and was named the best portrait painter of that season! This allowed me to start teaching oil paint portrait workshops at a high school, which I have been doing for over three years now.
My personal art style has changed drastically over the past years. It all began with regular portrait paintings, but I wanted my art to be more personal. I took the knowledge gained as a concept artist, mixed it with my love for horror, and brought my vision to life by applying oil painting techniques similar to the Old Masters. I've been sharing my creepy, scary, and weird art with the world and am thrilled to have found like-minded artists like you!
This is my first course of the series and I want to show you how to paint a realistic portrait without the horror elements. But for my horror lovers out there, there is a little treat in the bonus content where I take you step by step through my horror oil painting creative process! Join me on this art journey and become a master of oil painting!
