The life of The Greatest Artist (Richard Schmid & Nancy Guzik)

I have tons of footage of my Grandparents and friends, and created a little montage for you guys to experience the joy and passion these amazing people bring into the world! xo
Let me know if you want more, like I said I did a lot of photography for them so it really is endless. Joy Joy Joy!

[@ibanez2010]

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.

[@Certified_Art_Teacher]

These videos are extremely valuable to us artists! These two are definitely a gem and a blessing to the world.

[@officialmoderator1]

He was one of the greatest painters who ever lived. RIP.

[@tangents6299]

Oh no, he's passed?

[@rcpainter3023]

I've loved this man since my days in art school 20 years ago. He is truly a modern day Master! I should also add his wife Nancy, is also a Great artist and painter.

[@eze8608]

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.

[@coopart1]

Richard book Alla prima was given to me as a young artist like over 20 years ago. I find myself even today striving to speak the same language he has shared with us

[@Whiskeygalore24]

Such a blow, I always wanted to meet him, deepest sympathies to Nancy, 🙏RIP Richard and thank you for your amazing talent and teaching,.

[@ramonlopeznote]

The most respected living artist and person with tons of humor to share. I think I watched all his formal videos, that´s is why this footage is so refreshing. Thanks a lot. Give my regards to Richard.

[@nateflanagan792]

This is so awesome!!!! He is one of my FAVORITE painters!!! Thank you for this video!

[@lchanson1]

Please do more of these on Richard and Nancy. Thank you!!! Love them both!

[@cameronj9180]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Richard and Nancy are an inspiration to us all, and for me personally they have permanently enriched my artwork and how I see everything.

Awesome video, totally a gift. This way we know the real persons and they look superfunny too. Is mazing to see how his face changes when he is teaching and amazing to see him dancing and enjoying life. Your grandmother must be awesome too and is a great painter. Thanks for uploading it!

[@TDuD3]

Thank you for sharing the love! Prficeless

[@redneckdeck6560]

Fantastic video! More please.

[@ubergeraldine]

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

[@bsbrion]

So sorry for your loss.

[@mariejacobs9721]

Loved this, thank you. ❤

[@purplehelm8853]

I have "Alla Prima: Everthing I Know About Painting", first printing and hand-signed by Richard. It's in mint condition and I guard it with my LIFE.

[@TradeClassicCar]

Very talented and accomplished artists, it's nice to see these behind the scenes videos

[@lisarnful]

I love this man. I am a watercollorist and am influenced by him. I want to learn to paint oils but want to learn the direct method. Hasn't happened yet. Haven't figured out how to teach myself yet. 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

[@geraldskinner63]

I discovered Richard’s work only recently. His figure paintings are exquisite. What a blessed soul of a Man and Artist!

[@JackRainfield]

What luck to have Richard Schmid as a Grandfather! I hope you got some art lessons from him! LOL

[@skr346]

RIP great man!! He is in the company of Van Gough, Remrandt, Monet, Picasso and others....still such a sad day for all of us.

[@danielm3876]

Picasso painting was a joke

[@richardnolan3903]

Rembrandt yes! The others on your list were shit.

[@skr346]

Why such hatred? If you don’t like Monet, Van Gaugh - it says more about you than them.

[@Superflow66]

Such an inspiration

[@sorasitsuprapoch1952]

A living master

[@fatoomgierdien2181]

Wonderful video.

[@lolarules.62]

rest in peace ♥

[@ahmedelbanna938]

We really need more of richard schmid!!

[@btul2569]

please upload more

[@kristypolymath1359]

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.

[@Tedzee8]

Oh yeah, the guy painting on the nature with his cane : Richard Scmid ! I would like to see what is his day schedule/ habits to be that great :) Love to each person who read my comment!

[@africo9104]

Which book is better all around, The Alla Prima or his landscape painting book.

[@tangents6299]

I've recently heard of your granddad, from Stefan Bauman's KZbin channel. This is an interesting compilation, ty!

[@BarbieBud]

Granddad? Nancy and Richard are married. Wasn’t sure if that’s what you meant.

[@sammy3577]

I grew up with him and Nancy.

[@danjensen8777]

Very good painter lots of knowledge. Sorry for your loss. Seemed like a great person. But greatest painter. Hockney. Richter Close on

[@jaywing6177]

When i heard his voice off-camera, at the beginning of the video, I thought it was being narrated by Donald Sutherland...

[@josephososkie3029]

2:10. She does not know it but Richard is a very wry observer.

[@zigzag2162]

😢

[@ahmedelbanna938]

Pleasseeeeee

[@patdzon]

He's your grandpa?

[@jordangroff8978]

Great artist..1:45 that girl is damn beautiful

[@kristypolymath1359]

She's as hot and beautiful as ever.

[@danieldias4333]

Gouache??

[@meearo]

Not sure what this video was about! confused structure. Bye the way I AM a big fan of Schmid's work, and own his 'Alla Prima' book.

[@sammy3577]

It's only a compilation of footage that I love.

[@bardart703]

Why cant we have this instead of the kardashian show🤭

[@kristypolymath1359]

8:25 that's just sad. Is he that controlling? :(

[@scenicharbor2736]

He isn't controlling at all. He's one of the nicest people you can ever meet. The things they have done for me is astounding. All out of the bottom of their hearts. No exaggeration

[@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111]

I think she was just being a bit wierd and hippyish, not like he asked her to start praising him

[@eze8608]

That was such a heartfelt and beautiful moment between those two, I was grateful to hear someone talking about how grateful she was in the moment and feeling like she was on an amazing moment in her journey with the man. May we all experience such beauty and recognize and have the opportunity to speak that gratitude before the moment is gone and forgotten. Peace to all.

[@eze8608]

@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.

[@josef-peterroemer6235]

Greatest living artist???, That's a bit over the top!.

[@timclemons8719]

I know right?! Most of the people have no idea who he is...

[@ninahiatt664]

He REALLY is!!

[@Jmh0021]

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.

[@ninahiatt664]

Opinions! Mine is that he IS the greatest!

[@JH-ct9fj]

@@ninahiatt664 Miss, you must have a very limited knowledge about art and artists both living and dead to call this artist, greatest. I am not going to bother giving you names of artists that will eclipse this good artist. He seem a kind hearted person, a very good artist. Greatest he is not.

[@ninahiatt664]

@@JH-ct9fj Again..that is your opinion. We all have them and are entitled to them.

[@KpxUrz5745]

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.

[@james6401]

He might have been a great painter but he wasn't as good looking as Kirsty Partridge - no way Jose

[@timclemons8719]

No David Hockney is the greatest living painter. People know him and his paintings. Who is this guy??

[@ShaneyElderberry]

Richard Schmid is the sort of painter skilled painters admire. His work is very similar to John Singer Sargent, Joaquín Sorolla, or Anders Zorn.

[@bahumdinger8361]

You can't buy taste

[@wolf7379]

Splashing on bright colours all over the place like a child does not take skill. Richard Schmid is a top, skilled painter. It takes skill and great senstitivity to master value, colour, edge and drawing to a high level. Your comment is a joke.
