Apse video from Paul Richmond, the eccentric and skilled artist who runs Paul Richmond Studios. We examine the demonstration of male figures painting.

Alex Santana, Jr., is a model who uses an easel which is a canvas that comes with the background color already applied. The process is fascinating from there.

Paul uses dark paint rather than drawing the outline of his model. Instead, Paul sketches an outline of the male model and any shapes that he needs. He draws a thin, lighter outline in specific areas and a darker, wider line for other areas until the outline is complete.

Paul later “color blocks in” his outline when finished. Sketching the outline involves coloring blocking. The color blocking process is the way the artist chooses the colors that will be used in painting the male figure. This technique is typically used for oil painting.

Paul now has his complete outline as well as color shading. Then he adds particulars like clothing hues, skin shading, facial characteristics. The time-lapse process continues and it is transformed into an amazing portrait of Paul Richmond, perfectly portraying the model.
