Demonstration Day at the Barn
Lessons in Painting
In October of 2007, the Village Arts of Putney hosted a demonstration day featuring Richard Schmid and Albert Handell. The featured subject was a floral and fall leaf still life. This lesson recounts the days events and features the step-by-step demonstration from Richard, including images of the finished piece.
In this lesson Richard discusses the importance of the setup and offers advice for how to prepare a painting surface for multiple painting sessions. In addition, Richard discusses taste and selection, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining authenticity in a painting.
