About me:
My work focuses on the human figure. I've given drawing and painting workshops and demos throughout the United States and Europe including the Long Island Academy of Art in New York, the Art Florida Academy in Miami, and at all three campuses of the Florence Academy of art in Sweden, Italy and America.

this is definitely one of my favorite art education channels. you got me into making graphite art recently

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Happy to help, Dawson!

@@stephenbaumanartwork ok?

[@brendabranch7930]

I love the way you create the structure of the face. Do you have an on line workshop, or class.

[@LouisGuidetti]

Well articulated Stephen! I appreciate your clarity in the initial development. Very helpful

[@neilcameron3930]

This is brilliant I'm on level 5 so now coms to the paint g unit is there a certain raw Amber that I need to get? Regards Neil?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Most any raw umber will do.

[@arew234]

Um...for a while I ignored your vids because I was confusing you with "Stefan" (that's all I'll say) and believe me what I saw in this vid above well...now THERE'S a teacher. I'm in. Thanks.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

I understand- and genuinely hope this isn't a common phenomenon 😅

[@sadiqalribaa8313]

Stephen, your artwork is truly phenomenal and your vids are very informative. Could use a bit of background music tho. Keep up the great work!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Thank you, Sadiq!

[@jisley7371]

Can you just talk to me in my minds ear and guide me through life?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Yes.

[@brennerfineart]

Wow, this already looks very nice :-)

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Thanks, Parts 2-3 are coming soon.

[@Racheedean]

Great tutorial, i am learning a lot from you, thank you 🙏🤓

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Happy to hear that!

[@LoveBystroem]

Why don’t you use any terp or solvent? You always say you don’t but I can’t remember you explaining really precisely why. Thank you Stephen. Invaluable education and entertainment

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Just so I don't have any caustic off gassing substances in the studio.

[@LoveBystroem]

@@stephenbaumanartwork allright thanks. Led white too useful to be phased out? Haha no but thank you for the answer. Do you feel it has any advantages or effects you’re missing out on? Even if they’re not great enough to make up for the health risk?

[@patriciozazzini968]

I was told to never use graphite on a canvas because being a lubricant will e,merge later on.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

I have heard mention of this- also heard the alternative. I haven't observed it in my own work with some paintings being observed for 2+ years. I am interested to see an example of this happening.

[@figurativeartistbenjaminel8395]

Such a great video. Gives me a lot of inspiration on how to shoot my own videos. Thank you.

[@pollyester6627]

Great informative lesson! Don't mean to contradict, but an imprimatura will be quite stable and dry faster using only odorless mineral spirit or OMS with a little linseed oil.

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

It’s totally true. I am solvent free though- hence the drops of linseed.

[@pollyester6627]

@@stephenbaumanartwork Ah, all good!

[@pollyester6627]

Have you ever done a verdaccio demonstration? If not, please do, would be great to see your version of that procedure!

[@MrSilva960]

about the use of Proportional Divider ?

[@pnutdraws]

what canvas options and medium do you recommend cause i dont know if its my canvas or the linsid oil iam using i have to use so much oil and so much paint even to get 1 good stroke , whenever i see people working with such small patches of paint and such little amount of oil & getting the strokes they need its kinda hard , also the idea of using a synthetic brush with oil paint has not worked for me the consistency of my material is not liquid enough i think? any suggestions?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

I think that the ground you work on is very important- this is oil primed linen.

[@sayitsjose]

How many layers of acrylic paint did you prime the linen canvas with?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

It was pre-primed so probably 2.

[@wogdem]

you amazing!

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

WILSON! Hey man, great to hear from you!!!

[@witchy4486]

Thank you for mentioning the type of brush stroke you are doing when you are coloring, that is very helpful. Do you also mention the types of brush strokes you do, for certain portions of the face, throughout the rest of the piece?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Sure. The full tutorial is full of that kind of information.

[@stein7417]

hey stephen your skill is amazing i would love to draw like you do. can u pls tell me, u used oil pastells once, wich brand u bought them from. Thank you and Lets see this channel grow

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

It's been so long ago I don't even remember. Sorry!

[@victorpierrey4028]

Aren’t you scared of the graphite showing trough the oil paint film at some point?

[@stephenbaumanartwork]

Not really. It is painted quite thoroughly.

[@victorpierrey4028]
