Sketching the Portrait with Casey Baugh DVDDVD-Video (about 50 minutes) | 2.7 GB
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.
