Painting a Tribute for All the Heroes of 2020. Tutorial

Published 2020-10-20
Follow along as I paint a tribute to all of the essential workers who kept us safe during the pandemic of 2020. This is for all of the doctors, nurses, hospital staff, fire, POLICE, EMS, restaurant and grocery store workers, truckers and everyone else who gets up and does their job while risking getting sick. The world is starting to recover, but for many, it's been business as usual. Thank you!


Like this video? Want to buy me a coffee or a new tube of paint... or generally just support the channel?
Now you can and it would be most appreciated. Once I reach my $1,000 goal, I'll be buying a second camera to record my mixing palette since it's the number one request I get. Cheers! www.buymeacoffee.com/steveatkinson

    Nice tribute, and beautiful work. I would be interested in seeing how you make your panels. Interestingly, I use the museum putty trick too. Museum putty is my duct tape.
