In this new video workshop, I’ll bring
you along as I set out to paint people
in four dynamic situations. Each image
develops from the first lines to the final

painting, with close-ups of palette and
brushstrokes juxtaposed with shots
of the moving model. You’ll hear and
see the subjects talking and singing,
alternating with my voiceover explaining
what I’m thinking at each stage.
At various points, I screw up, and
I show how I fix it. You can find out
more at: gum.co/portraitsinthewild.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR PORTRAITS IN THE WILD

“With words and paint Jim Gurney demonstrates
the joy of sketching and painting people from life.
A must view for all artists!” — Everett Raymond Kinstler, N.A., AWS
“James Gurney’s Portraits in the Wild is one of the most
informative (as well as entertaining) art videos I’ve ever seen.
Not only does James cover all the materials and
techniques necessary for painting people in natural
environments from life, but he conveys the experience
of getting out of the studio and absorbing the stories,
characters, and marvelous variety of the world around us.
This is art at its best.” — Scott Burdick
