Sketching the Portrait with Casey Baugh," is number one in a series of advanced Charcoal Demonstrations by American Artist Magazine competition winner, CASEY BAUGH.
There are almost no quality videos about drawing, and charcoal in particular, so this really is a must-see. Casey introduces the viewer to methods such as the "charcoal sock" which puffs charcoal dust on the page. This is what he uses to start the drawing, to keep it general and light. He then develops the center of interest, and works out from there. Casey uses methods such as sprinkling charcoal dust on the page, then spraying it with acetone. He also manipulates the image with a paintbrush dipped in acetone.
"Thanks to this forthright and friendly DVD, Sketching the Portrait with Casey Baugh, I learned many things about charcoal technique and basic drawing that I never knew before. I can't wait to see what he will share with us next." RICHARD SCHMID
Casey Baugh was born in 1984 to Jerry and Angie Baugh in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Baugh’s earliest art instruction came around the age of four from his father and aunt who were artists by hobby. This nurturing, along with Baugh’s early interest in art, gave him the strong foundation and motivation that would allow him to produce and sell professional work by the age of 13. At age 14, Baugh won his first regional competition and by age 17, he had won his first national competition. With no formal training, Baugh continued to educate himself by studying the work of other accomplished artists. In the spring of 2004, he conducted his first workshop at the Village Arts of Putney in Vermont.
