DEMONSTRATION VIDEOS

These video demonstrations, created by my daughter and me, illustrate how I used to craft a floral oil painting from the drawing to final highlight My current technique is quite different and more similar to the Dutch master painters of the Late Renaissance and includes a drawing, imprimatura, underpainting, overpainting, and glazing and scumbling. An attempt is made to provide insightful commentary throughout the stages of my process. Most of the video demonstrations average 8-10 minutes in duration. I will continue to add more videos as circumstances and time allow. Check out the full high-resolution videos and please subscribe to my YouTube channel — Baldassini Fine Art.
