Thank you Sammy. I don't know if he was a humble man but he does look so in this video. Patience, modesty, wisdom, distance to yourself, humor, peacefulness - they seem to join together in this great man.

I stumble upon his 70’s art technique books and found right away some one with my temperament about art and painting. No being fussy. Composition theory being mostly hogwash. I read his books found a couple girls to model, took them out to a park and I said just study and have your picnic. They were suppose to give me a few more hours but I said fine…they wanted a look and were stunned how much I had done. 3 more hours it would have been a finished piece. But as it was in a couple of hours you could see the whole work. It let me know for sure I could work like this. Those books were key to that. I’ve always wanted a copy of Alla Prima but never saw one at an affordable price for me. But the original two have served me well.

Still hard to believe he's gone. He was a splitting image of my grandfather who was also a professional artist and passed away at the same age. Richard is absolutely at the top of my personal list of influences.

Great to see he is putting in detail way before the painting is finished. He doesn’t lose touch with his vision this way.

Since this is a "family posting", I will respectfully not be harsh about assessing this artist's rightful place in art history. But I will simply state that to claim Schmid was the greatest living artist smacks of wild and unfounded hyperbole.

What a wonderful video that You have shared. Thanks a bunch! One thing was clear....He had friends....He had family....and he seemed to really enjoy the time he had and what he was doing with it. And so were all of those who were in his presence. How fun, and how wonderful for all of You who got to share and know him more than anyone else and then share that with all of us. Thank You again.

The greatest living artist is not accurate I am sorry. He is one of the great living artists in my opinion. (Only my opinion of course). He is so famlus here in the States but if you ask painters, they will mention various great painters. Example is Master Odd Nerdrum. Also, you got young artists that are not famous at all but they are Masters in my opinion.

@dev null a person only needs to have a heart to know what is ‘heartfelt’. Humble yourself, build up & stop trying to tear down & destroy. Get a heart & know what I’m talking about. You can listen to accusers all day and be one Yourself or You can listen to other professionals who actually worked with him, cares & learned from him …or to his friends…or to his family. They have spoken wonderfully about him. Even if the man has faults, so what. Who doesn’t? And who doesn’t have detractors? I’m interested & attracted to the good. I love this video & the one who posted clearly loved the man. Haters always hate. Learn to love & let the Truth set You free. May there be such a video by Your family & friends because of the love, kindness & goodness You gave to the world as was done here for this wonderful artist, man, and family member. Strive for that keyboard warrior. Peace to all.
@kristypolymath13594 жыл бұрын
Very wise man. We are seeing this more and more, paintings becoming less and less about "filling up the canvas" and more about revealing what the artist is thinking. We don't think in "toned canvas" or compositions that take up every inch of real estate. We think in shapes and highlights, and all the sorts of things that as a sum of their parts make up an image.

I dont want to follow the same path I did with watercolor where I had to unlearn bad habits. Paged through a friend's Alla Prima ...was deeply impressed ...I did paint a few items around the house and tried to see shapes and relationships instead of objects. transformative
