[@uzielipina7046]

Thanks sir for sharing knowledge

[@drpreethampai7564]

It's great that you have started these Bargue instructional videos. I had copied the Bargue plates. It helped me a lot draw proportions and rendering.these videos are very helpful for beginners.

[@mizos2298]

so happy you re doing this and making this knowledge so easily accessible to everyone!

[@JayminTanna]

Thank you so much for such a great insight. A big help for beginners like me.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

You are so welcome! Bargue drawings, in general, are a pretty useful accelerant for beginning student.

[@christophermatz8229]

Thank you so much for this! I have tried a couple of Bargue drawings in the past and am working on a more intermediate one now, but I keep getting lost in just trying to "copy" vs. being intentional in what I am trying to get out of the process. Can't thank you enough for the extremely high quality content you consistently provide...

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

That’s so awesome! Thanks for the positive feedback. There’s one more in this series on the way.

[@neogerula]

I am excited to discover you after I discovered Bargue about a week ago, Your language is so descriptive that my mind,listening to yours,concerning theevolution of forms in stages begins to develop concepts like bargue in bargue... I hope does not sound stupid... I even am not an english speaker.but someone in his 60si from a modest country who discovered drawing abaut two years ago ...and as my eyes open I start understanding hop depth of life canbe surprisingly reflected on a flat surface.For sure iti has to be a great play with meanngs going beyond the actual forms...wonderfull.Amazing!!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

That's so cool to hear! Thanks for sharing.

[@leahgonzalez1643]

Just watching and learning from you my drawing has improved so much.god bless you !

[@lawrenceestocado6808]

Thank you for these lessons sir. Honestly you deserve a million subscriber. You have an option to teach this on a premium course or something but you choose to teach this for free and I'm very thankful for that

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Wow, thanks!

[@dimasjazz]

Thank you, Steven, for generous sharing your interesting and helpful ideas!!! It's always a pleasure to listen to your lectures )))

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@EmmyMW]

Thank you so much for this Bargue series, Stephen. I am currently doing an atelier-style training on my own (which I know is a bit of an oxymoron because you need a master:)) and your videos have been really helpful. I find doing the Bargue, even on my own, has really improved my eye when it comes to drawing. (PS I first discovered your works in Juliette Aristides' books, and am a big fan. You and your wife Cornelia are such an inspiration.)

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Cool to hear, Emmy! It takes such dedication to study on your own, best of luck!

[@omsomadaart2241]

Thank you for tips and the lessons, it's amazing learning from classical art. Anatomi, sketch beetwen dark and light sketch. I love it. Thank you sir

[@ThiagoCRocha-fh6lg]

I love classical drawing/painting but i'm SO FAR AWAY from ateliers and the like that it took me 5 years to reverse engenier and get 75% of these 2 videos. This is gold Stephen, Thank you

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Happy to help, Thiago!

[@anuragdalal6908]

Thank you very much, the timing is perfect. I just got the book the day before you published first episode. And can you specify the steps a beginner must follow to get into figure drawing.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

I think I might have to do another episode on the figure drawings from that book...

[@alexzioek9680]

Great video. Thank you for helping with getting into the Bargue course.

The eye of the tiger.....

[@maxpitchkites]

"Beethoven's Death Mask" would be a great name for a heavy metal band.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

I haven't googled it yet... they might already be out there 😅

[@srijitapanja5377]

Thank you

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

You're welcome

[@PKArts]

Super

[@user-xd7mk2xz2h]

One of the common complaint of Bargue drawing method is that your drawing is only as good as the level of your copy of the Bargue plate, there is no room for artistic freedom. It's more like learning with restraints. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

This is a good point- I definitely think that the early stages of learning to make representational art involves a lot of restraint. This strength will come in handy later on in the artist's career as well-

[@sadiqalribaa8313]

Do you know Cesar Santos?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Yes- I grew up in Miami and we met a once or twice there.

[@Dale_Blackburn]

Amazing video! May i ask a concept that i don't fully grasp? It is about "negative spaces" and "shapes". So let's talk about the tiger shadow shape there. Is that a negative space or a "shadow shape" ? What about the spaces left on the light side. Can shadow shapes also be called negative space? Is shape design also done to light negative spaces and facial features? Im pretty confused with the naming of these thanks.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

The tiger is a shadow shape. Negative shapes will the the shape that the background makes when contrasted wither the silhouette of the darker or lighter edge of the subject. All shapes can be named- light shapes, halftone shapes, & shadow shapes.

[@chasechapman9302]

The eye looks like the thundercats logo

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

For real 😅

[@sketchartist1964]

Should the copies be made the same size as they appear in the book, or should they be made somewhat larger in size?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

That is helpful but not required.

[@sagileibman5525]

as always a great video! could you please elaborate about shape design and why does it matter? I mean, if i'm trying to create an exact copy of reality, why would I bother to design shapes and not just "copy" them as they are? thanks

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Fair question, I touched on this in the vid but maybe it needs more screen time. Perhaps a vid on shape design, full stop.

[@sagileibman5525]

@@stephenbaumanartwork well I understand that it helps with building up the form, yet I wonder how the drawing might be affected if you're using different designs. thanks for the reply!

[@DusanPavlicek78]

Thank you, great video! The Beethoven plaster cast is actually a life mask. There is his death mask too but it looks much more lifeless as one would expect, with sunken eyes etc. See for example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Ludwig_van_Beethoven

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@abesauer2189]

i would really appreciate technique videos, i can fully understand the logic and strategy, but my knowledge stops at the literally way in which i make the marks

[@lias1]

Do you give lessons?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

There are tons on my Patreon page.

[@amirbostani734]

Thanks for your videos; could you post another video explaining more on Barque plates.. Thank you.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Next one comes out on the 13th.

[@amirbostani734]

@@stephenbaumanartwork Looking forward to it; thank you.

[@AmasBansalArt]

Great expose on bargue. I would love your critique on my drawings on my channel if you can spare a few minutes. Thanks for the instruction.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Great vids! You're definitely putting in the work.

[@AmasBansalArt]

@@stephenbaumanartwork I appreciate it. Yes it's traditional methods applied to contemporary pop-culture subject matter 😊. Proko, Vitruivian Studio and yourself have certainly shaped my approach ✍🏽👊🏼
