'"It's worthy of my signature"

- spoken without an ounce of arrogance - and handled every bit as deftly as his paintbrush. Did you notice the eloquence of his hand posture while painting, and also while talking? To me the greatest inspiration I draw from his character (daily) is not just to paint alla prima - but to live alla prima in every moment. Cheesy, but true :)

I own this video and Richard Schmid's "November" video.  The "November" video has a really strange ending. He has four people asking phony questions. They look like groupies. I would rather see him doing more painting than let these people ask prepared questions and snicker at him.

Consummate skill. This guy could be represented in every art museum. In Britian all the modern stuff we ever get is ex-public schoolboy mediocrity, or the latest pop art '/ironic' fads....

Quite a poseur. All affectation, and little substance. Watching him paint this series of flicks and flecks reveals this artist's thought process while working, and it is shallow indeed. He misses the bigger picture while trying to impress an audience with whimsical hand movements.

Thank you!

@kuentai Thank you for answering. I hope this will free me from always trying to render every single leaf and grass strand.. its so annoying. I must learn not to draw what i actually see..

[kuentai]

@YTDekus I think Schmid would frown uncomfortably if you told him he was a direct painter, or any genre for that matter, I don't recall reading in any of his books of him saying he was anything in particular, just a painter who uses the tools he has [mental and physical] to express emotion, movement etc. I may be wrong, but I think it is evident if you look at the photo and the painting that he does not just paint what he sees. That said, seeing is an abstract term. So perhaps he does!

[YTDekus]

@kuentai i thought direct painting was about painting ONLY what you actually SEE. and definately NO imagining things on your own.. am i wrong?

thank you for answering.

[kuentai]

@YTDekus Squint, look for the patterns within the clearly defined shapes, invent new masses and shapes, it is not about painting what you see, it is about inventing a painting that expresses the mood or beauty you are striving for 'using' what you see before you. It is about finding that one true shape that expresses 'grass' better than painting tens of thousands of strands of grass. Mostly though it is about inventing beauty, not grass!

[YTDekus]

Could someone please explain what he sees in that randomness? he does completely random strokes there.. I'd like to do that too - but i just can't paint what i DONT see.. I see tight, defined clear grass or flowers, but he sees random mass of green shades.
