New Member Casey Childs




Hello everyone! My name is Casey Childs, I live in Provo, UT, I completed my college degree in traditional art and somehow ended up currently working as a graphic designer, but I'm working toward my life's passion of a career in painting.

I'm very excited to be a part of this forum. I've been silently reading and viewing everyone's amazing work for quite some time, and I finally got the guts to go ahead and join the forum. I've really learned so much about portrait painting from everyone already, I hope by contributing I will learn even more.

I will try to attached a few examples of my latest work.

Welcome, Casey! I hope you will enjoy participating. And thanks for sharing some of your work. From the examples you posted, it looks like you have a strong sense of composition, so I'm guessing you are an excellent graphic designer as well as a talented portraitist.

Alex

Bonfim, Misha, Richard, Allan, Ilaria and Alex,

Thank you everyone for the many kind words and the very warm welcome. I've seen the quality of work that all of you do and it is quite the compliment when you praise my work.

Allan, actually I just took a workshop from William Whitaker about a month ago. He is a wonderful guy to talk to in person, and to watch him paint is just a thrill!

Welcome, Casey,

I know you will enjoy being part of the Forum. We have only one degree of separation, as I will be in Bill's class later this month.
