Reference
The model who posed for the three-hour demonstration.

Step 1
After establishing the scale of the painted head and lightly indicating some of the features, Baugh applied strokes of oil color to indicate the dark color of the hair and the neutral-gray tone of the background.

Step 2
The artist was concerned with the totality of the figure, clothing, and background because they were all part of his “peripheral” vision.

Step 3
Next the instructor brought each area of the canvas up to the same level of completion before focusing on the details in the face, hair, and clothing.

Step 4
Baugh warmed the color of the background, added dark accents to the scarf, and refined the painting of the mouth, ears, and eyes.

The final painting is lovely, but I would have liked alot more steps in the demo.

Beautiful painting!! Perhaps a video should be made of the painting process used.


A face one feels mad to kiss! What colour are her eyes?


Thanks from a visual learner


A video demo would have, I'm sure, given us neophytes a much better handle on colors used and techniques. But, very interesting as it stands.


I agree that a video demo would have been nice. But, short of that, I would like to see his palette.


a video will be more helpfull to not to expert artist but is beatifull . i wish i can paint like that..

I see no mention of how long it was taken to get from Step 4 to Step 5?....There is a lot of finish in the final painting which in no way can be achieved in a 3 or 4 hour pose!
Did this get noodled in the studio and how long was spent on it?

It looks like Step 4 was the finish from the live sitting and step 5 was the finish after several hours of noodling in the studio.... completely different colors in the flesh tones. You got a ways to go kid.


Im not sure why people feel the need to make such juvenile comments but it is obvious that this guy is a master painter. And just because a painting is not finished in 3 hours does not mean it is no good. In this case, however, it was finished in 3 1/2 hours.(I was there!)
Just in case you do not know, the art buyer (or anyone else for that matter) does not care how long it takes to create a painting. The end result is what matters. And this painting is a fine example of a masterful "end result".


please e-mail a list of instructional videos prepared by Casey and how I purchase them. Think Casey's work is fantastic.

great work, but not enough steps to understand what the artist is doing for me to follow step by step.


I agree also...The painting is beautiful! No matter how long it took the artist. He has got to be pretty good to have his work chosen numerous times in magazines..not to mention the cover (several times) in the American Artist. How great can that be? He has come alot farther than most. Great Job!


I want to thank Casey for giving inspiration in a dark period of fumbling. His work is where i've always wanted to go, but could'nt see it. It is reality as we see it, not as a photo .True, to see more steps would be great, but it was enough to stimulate without simply copying.


I think the model is my neice Toni Marie Egnitz. Is that her? The painting is absolutly beautiful.


Oh to be able to paint like that. I agree, give us a video to purchase showing us all the steps. Thank you


Thank you so much. I am hoping to purchase your new DVD soon. I am studying with the new young artist, Daniel Keys and he praises your work in every lesson session God Bless your work. Karlene Ryan
