Douglas Flint -- Still Life in Oil


Douglas Flint shows his step by step process for developing a still life from a setup in his studio. He starts with a more detailed drawing than most, and uses a fairly gray palette.

Visit Flint's website.

William Hosner still life -- Reprint from American Artist Magazine

Like many, Bill Hosner started his art career in the grueling illustration field. This is a baptism by fire that teaches quick visualization and accuracy, but from which many artists long to escape. Hosner now works as a fine artist, and has posted on his website a reprint of an American Artist Magazine article featuring his pastel technique.

Art Classes on XTrain.com




This is a reader-submitted link (thanks, Dave).

XTrain.com offers video classes on a variety of topics, including art lessons by Ron Lemen. Ron's videos seem to be professionally produced, and full-length. This is an excellent free resource that may become a pay service in the future (I'm speculating) so enjoy it now!

Time Lapse portrait by Barrett Bailey




Someone on Wet Canvas posted this a while back, but I'm just discovering it now. Barrett Bailey has an impressive CV and over 15 years experience as a professional artist. In this video demonstration, he compresses a two-and-a-half-hour drawing process into a two minute video. Check out his website for more drawings and other great stuff!

Jeremy Lipking Demo

Jeremy Lipking has made quite a splash for such a young artist. Don't hate him for his talent. Learn from him.

One thing I like is his use of grays, and those cool flesh tones.

His website has a teaser promising an upcoming video. You can bet it will be a hit.

This great demo is not on his website. I don't know why, but who cares! He's sharing some great stuff here.

Hey Jeremy, we want that video!!!

Note: Lipking leaves great Easter eggs on his site. Some of his paintings are clickable. Click for a detailed close-up Here, and here and here (my favorite) and here.
