Seamus Berkeley

Check this out Lifers. This is a stop-action demonstration of portrait painting. I haven't seen anyone with the technique he's developed. It's just amazing seeing the image of a person come together a little at a time from a blank piece of paper with no preliminary drawing. This is just crazy, but fun to watch.

Amazing! Great tactile quality to his brushwork. And a ripping soundtrack to boot. Cheers Roger.

Thanks for the post and comments. If you are ever in the California Bay Area or Taos, New Mexico, please ask your members to give a call. We've just started a new group at my studio in Berkeley and my studio in Taos is available for artists.

Here's more about events.

And one more item: I'm working on a new painting DVD that will be available soon.
