@@DavidWilson-yj3si You could say what you said about anything. Why teach people math? 99.9999% of the students won't be able to make "new ground" anyways. Hell, why do we even teach people anything, the vast majority of folks won't be able to make new ground in any field whatsoever.
I have seen these kind of videos, it usually begins with something very crude, some random brush strokes here and there. I have been at this stage alot always ending up crushing the sheet and throwing it away. At this point I usually think if they actually have any structure in their mind which they want to bring it on the canvas. But with time, layer by layer it develops and that is what always amazes me the most.
Fabulous work without a doubt. I love how this guy paints. Can someone PLease Please Please tell me the mix he uses to thin his paint for the underpainting!!! You can see at 1.30 the paint dry back immediately to enable him to overpaint instantly. What mix does he use! White spirit or turpentine doesn't allow instant overpainting as it simply thins the next layer of paint applied. Does anyone know how he does it or more importantly what he uses. I am desperate to learn. Love these uploads...
It might be gum turpentine.....it evaporates quite quickly but supports a sticky texture to the paint and canvas for next layer.....he paints wet on wet.....knowing the paint as he goes.
hmm Im 16 years old and I'm living in Greece . so I will go to study in Aristotelio univercity of Thessaliniki ... I wish in the end I could can drawing like you..fantastic jod !!! You are fantastic!
Amazing painting. What is that 1 (or 2?) inch brush you're using for many of the larger shadow blocks? Synthetic brush? You're using it at 1:01 and 1:44 in this video. :)
I am confused... at first his paint looks very wet, but then he can paint over the wet paint without any issue, can someone help me telling me what he is doing please? thanks!
Hate the music used in this and the zooms with the blur. Hard on old eyes. :D But I enjoy the demo and I like Casey Baugh's painting style very much. I like this demo portrait. Wish mine were this successful when I was teaching.
There are a few jealous bastards out there! People who can't paint without drawing an outline to colour in. And a few who seem perplexed that one can paint so well wet into wet without getting mud LOL! Slay them Casey!
Well if all else fails he has a job for MIlls and Boon. Stop speaking a philosophy, ideology. And paint. Seen that image a million times. Abstract realism? No! Realism abstracted. What is real? Values. Now paint!
This is pretty average stuff, so don't get your panties wet, folks. Look up the Art Renewal Center for examples of people at the top of their game. Casey can paint. He knows what value and colour theory are. But he's not premier league by any stretch of the imagination.
+TodayFreedom I took your advice and looked up the site, 'Art Renewal Center'. I liked what I saw there. I enjoyed looking at some of the works that artists have done and who have been named to be among the finalists. Among the finalists, there were artists there whose works I truly admired but there were equally other artists who were what I considered to be "okay. Not great, but okay. I will see a painting I truly liked, and then I look up the artist on his own site, and some of his other paintings are not that great. In my opinion Casey Baugh is "premier league". Many of Casey Baugh's paintings are of great quality and even better than some I have seen at 'Art Renewal Center'. So I really don't know why you are shooting him down like that. Casey Baugh definitely knows how to paint and draw without the aid of measuring tools that some artists have to use if they are doing a portrait to give to the person. If you look at some of his paintings you will see they definitely qualify to be in 'Art Renewal Center'. Here are some of his works: www.artsy.net/artist/casey-baugh, roncandoenelnostromo.wordpress.com/2009/07/18/casey-baugh/. Some of his works are better than some of the ones who appear as finalists in 'Art Renewal Center'. Look at the quality of his work here - great work! maherartgallery.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/casey-baugh-1984-georgia.html Casey Baugh is a great artist and he is already in 'premier league'
No, I'd prefer the late Titian, Velasquez or Manet, Sorolla, Sargent, Repin influenced painters such as Casey. They have more vigour and life and abstraction in their brushwork. It's not about "being premier league"(makes me want to puke you elitist wanker!) It's a matter of an artists choice to avoid classical realism because it bores them and never has the sense of life that this sort of painting does. A great painting is not to be viewed on the internet or in a book it is to be viewed from a distance. It's about the excitement that the brain receives from completing the image that stimulates the senses. But there's a few who don't get it.
TodayFreedom I don't understand why people still like to gauge and name Artist like it's a contest of skill , art is not a competition what resonates with you won't do the same with others , so many different styles of painting and there's something for everyone , art is subjective just like music and trying to put a score card on artist is ridiculous in my opinion .
