Join us now to catch the rest of the event LIVE, and access the replays for the moments you still want to catch. And, remember to check out the faculty art auction – it ends Saturday, November 12th at 11pm ET. Coming to us from his studio, Ned Mueller said that he creates portraits "mainly to sharpen [his] skills and to have fun while making a work of art." In regards to his demo, he added, "It works for me, and I'm hoping … it does the same for you." From Ned Mueller's Portrait Demo Everyone loves "color" but John Pototschnik wants you to know that color is supported by value first and foremost. "The value structure," he said, "is absolutely critical in order to have a good foundation for a painting." From John Pototschnik's Landscape Demo "This is a conversation with some very special people who matter a great deal in the world of contemporary realism and I'm thrilled to have them with us," said Peter Trippi in his introduction to the roundtable with Leona Shanks, Analisa Shanks, and Alexander Shanks. They shared an informal discussion about the incredible legacy left by the great artist Nelson Shanks, who was the husband of Leona and the father of Analisa and Alexander. "I rely on my imagination and memory a great deal," said painter and draftsman Michael Mentler. In his portrait demonstration, he shared the technique that he has developed over years of making art. From Michael Mentler's Portrait Drawing Demo Wildlife artist Dustin Van Wechel gave us a quick "down and dirty" demonstration on how to paint fur, including techniques that you can apply to other subjects since it really comes down to understanding edges. From Dustin Van Wechel's Animal Fur Demo In a special moment of the day, Peter Trippi presented reknowned artist Juliette Aristides with the Fine Art Connoisseur Lifetime Achievement Award. Juliette then led a figure painting demonstration live on camera (she advises that it's a good idea to start with some type of drawing first, to take the time to study, and to make excellence your goal.) Juliette also took the time to answer each of the questions that came up during the demo itself, such as how her paints stayed on her vertical palette (Answer: it's oil paint, so it sticks easily).
