The Atelier Tier: The Big Picture
🕑 Added 2021-07-21 11:33:01 +0000 UTCThe Atelier Tier, so far, has been an exciting vehicle to move your education forward in a more structured way. So, let's talk about the future and what's in store:
1. Schedule Moving Forward
Just like an in person atelier we will have breaks so I can build up all of the lesson notes, demo footage, and background work it takes to put out each lesson. For me, 3 months in a row is probably too many and I can't keep up that pace. What it will look like in the future is: 2 months on, 2 months off. During those "off months" I will be releasing different lessons. For example, in August I am putting out a lesson from a guest instructor, Patrick Byrnes.
You all are responding really well to the assignment deadlines and group critiques. We are keeping those! Every month there will be a deadline to turn in your works and a group crit will follow for each lesson.
Let's also talk about the long term plan for the Atelier Tier. Without making too rigid of a schedule I want to show you the roadmap.
2. Assignments
This is the order of the assignments without specific dates associated to each. This flexibility is important if only to ensure that we don't lose momentum or interest at any point.
Some projects added or subtracted from this list based on necessity or importance.
- Bargue 1, Venus de Napoli, graphite (done)
- Baugue 2, Belvedere Torso, graphite (done)
- Cast 1, Eye of David, graphite (done)
- Cast 2, St. Andrew, graphite & white chalk (2 months)
- Sphere painting, grisaille, oil paint
- Sphere painting, color, oil paint
- Cast painting 1, grisaille, oil paint
- Cast painting 2, full palette, oil paint
- Various master studies
- Advanced portraiture: head & hands (this could take up to 3 months with transfer drawing, color studies, etc...)
- Self portrait
3. Livestream Schedule
Most months the lessons will be live, others not. This schedule is for any month in which the lessons are broadcast live.
1st stream of each month will take place on the 1st Saturday of the month, 4-6pm Oslo time.
2nd Stream (when necessary) will take place on the 2nd Saturday of the month, 4-6pm Oslo time.
Due date for submitting assignments will be between the 3rd Friday of the month. This is the day before the group crit.
Group critique will be the 3rd Saturday of the month.
Monthly Schedule
- August: Portrait Drawing with Patrick Byrnes
- September: Portrait Painting Using Glazes & Scumbles
- October: Adv. Cast Drawing Using Graphite & White Chalk On Toned Paper
- November: Adv. Cast Drawing, Continued.
- December: TBD
Some of you, I am sure, will be really pumped about this direction and some less so. I totally get that. My priority is to do the best I can for the content and delivery. I think that what is best for the student will follow that naturally.

Do we have a PDF with the sequence these courses are supposed to be taken? I have been looking and I have no idea where to start 😭

It will be coming out in parts. Part 2 will be out on September 1st.
Cynthia Hickson
other than that all is wonderful and just so anxious to learn everything you have to offer...;] thank you again for all of your amazing knowledge, your amazing drawing and painting abilities...just everything....
Cynthia Hickson
so I was already for your demo on Sargents portrait of Ms. Agnew? are you not going to do this any longer?
Stephen Bauman Artwork
You're so welcome, Bob!
Stephen Bauman Artwork
For sure. I will prepare a materials list. In the mean time, my oil painting materials can be found here in my FAQ section: https://www.patreon.com/posts/frequently-asked-37008290

Stephen thanks so much for sharing your plans. This helps a lot. Will you also be able to share an advance materials list for each step? This will be a first foray into oils for me, and I am sure others have similar issues around obtaining materials or substitutes in the local art supplies market. Now that borders are beginning to open again I’d also have the opportunity to pick things up on travel to the US so it will be good to know what to look for in advance. Thanks, and keep up the excellent work!

The volume of teaching that you are providing is great to me. Each of the demo and critique sessions gives me so many nuggets of information and aha moments that are valuable to me. Due to your instruction I am seeing improvement in my work in all the media I use. I'm not sure where else I could get this level of instruction for such a reasonable cost. Thank you for all your work.

Is the farthest that we will be going in graphite be cast drawing? I was hoping to learn how to meet the challenge of drawing in graphite from a human model. To learn how to represent the complexity of skin tones in graphite. Will we learn this from watching the upcoming painting lessons?
Aidan Roberts
All sounds pretty exciting to me!

Hello Stephen, Very excited to sail through upcoming portrait and cast drawing & painting. Very rare “virtual teacher” in this world of “free market of ‘want to be’ ART teachers”. Need to navigate and learn more about “critique section” and how to post there… Best regards Zoran (caravaggiopainter on IG)

Figure drawing is going to be a totally different subject conveyed in a different format. Stay tuned for 2022.
michael joshua

Hi Stephen, just to mention first that what you are doing is unique and without precedent, as far as online art instructions go. That said, I think it is wonderful to be part of your program and learn new techniques at my own pace. I do not necessarily follow all assignments but just having the choice to watch your videos and learn from you is priceless! Thank you for all the effort you put out for us.
Simon Bottemine

1st of all I’m super stoked on the schedule. Especially excited for the guest spot! 2nd of all…just to take a peak behind the curtain…I know I’m not alone when I say that you’ve made it into the pantheon of “content creators” where I’ll watch anything you make - I watch you for you. Keep up the great work as an artist, educator, and human being🤘
