DESCRIPTION

RICHARD SCHMID PAINTS MICHELLE DUNAWAY

We are honored to share RICHARD SCHMID PAINTS MICHELLE DUNAWY, the final demonstration captured on tape during Richard Schmid’s lifetime. This video offers a rare opportunity to be with Richard Schmid during an informal and educational-inspiring portrait session as he paints his friend and fellow artist, Michelle Dunaway. Set against the backdrop of serene north light in Nancy Guzik’s studio, with Richard’s favorite music—Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and more—playing softly in the background, you’ll witness a masterpiece come to life.

Throughout the session, Richard shares his insights into his artistic process, explaining what he’s doing and why while weaving in philosophical reflections, fascinating stories, and words of inspiration. Viewers describe it as feeling like you’re sitting beside him as he paints.

Filmed initially by artist and documentary filmmaker Scott Burdick for Richard’s private archives, this two-day session was deemed too valuable not to be shared. Now, it’s available to artists and art enthusiasts worldwide as a testament to Richard’s nearly 70 years of painting mastery.

Rich with solutions to artistic challenges and overflowing with timeless wisdom, this video is one you’ll return to again and again. Like Richard’s paintings, you’ll discover something new with every viewing. It’s a masterclass in Alla Prima painting and a celebration of Richard’s enduring legacy.
