Did you use a fixative on the drawing before painting ? And do you switch brushes each time you clean your palette for a new colour ?

stephenbaumanartwork

I use a little bit of Spectra Fix to fix the drawing- and usually I use the same brushes throughout- just cleaned with a bit of linseed oil.

Jean Pierre Daviau

If you use pure oil from the start, how can you follow the rule of "fat on lean" later?

Ingrid Goyarts

I’ll hope so becouse i learn a lot of the critics

Kat Aquarelle

Love the insightful observations on Sargent's work.

Jodie McGuren

Yes, I ran off straight away to do my Lady Agnew copy as soon as I saw your version. So inspiring. I'd love to show you and see what you think

Shuchi Miuley

Thank you Stephen! I am looking forward to part 3! Till then will work on my copy too :)

Debra Schulman

Quick Question....what is the actual size of your canvas?

Aidan Roberts

Yep - let's do a group critique of this stage, otherwise I'll race ahead and ruin it :D

Lynda Backman

I also agree to a critique at this juncture, it'll help a lot for the final!

Dana Kelly

I thought I saw a message about a Sargent Critique. I have been working on mine but not sure when we have to turn in our paintings? Where do I find this info?

Steve Caudell

Yes, Please do a group critique.

Hi Stephen, it's so much fun painting with oils! Thanks for addressing the health risks with solvents. Can you recommend what kind of ventilation we need for just working with the paints? I'm painting in a spare bedroom that has just one small window and don't want to cause health problems for myself or my family. Thanks!

The oil paints themselves, as far as I am aware, do not have any significant off gassing. Really it is just linseed oil oxidizing. I would reccommend you to be careful about secondary contamination like paint on your clothing getting in to the washing machine for instance- or from your hands to the doorknobs in the house.

i thought Sargent was an Alla Prima man, exclusively ? Sanders has a study of Lady Agnew you might be interested in: bit.ly/3i89zeu
