Painting a Book Cover From Start to Finish! The Entire Process Explained with Helpful Tips.

Fredric Remington is and or was a great artist. Steve, you are every bit a equal. I love your paintings and the way you teach and tell.

Another worthwhile art YouTube video. Well done.

Lovely. You inspire me!

Love this very interesting video. I never gave the process much thought. The cover of a book is usually what gets me to open it and ultimately to read it. Thanks for the explanation and demo. Love your painting.

Once again, Thank You, for letting us come along with you! So great watching you work. And thank you for the awesome advice and wisdom you ‘peppered’ in. There is much to take right to heart. Thank you💎

My first interest ever in western art started in1959more or less far back i can remember was buying the paper back ,,the man from yuma,, by hal g everts. I still have it today, from then i never bought any novel unless it did not have a good art cover. In those years unlike today, the frontispiece artist wes never even mentioned.only many years later i found the artist was fred lucas.i think im the only person in south afr,beinga member of the f ace book group ,,native american dsa,, where i witness lots of ,,indian art.greetiigs

Thanks for posting. Videos like these help me out a bunch with my pyrography.

Getting a notification about new video post from your channel is a like seeing the weekend arrive.

You are very talented. Thank you for all the tips and advice.

Thank you Steve, another fun and informative video!  Actually, your way of anticipating questions is spooky!

Thanks, Steve.

Perfect timing! Was just asked to collaborate a book cover for a local writer. Love your painting.

So helpful, Steve; thanks as always.

Well Steve, that was interesting to watch, I really enjoyed it. I’m not interested in doing bookcover work myself, but to see the journey from beginning to end, and your comedy narrative make it enjoyable. Keep up the good work. 😁👍👏

Loved it, thank you for sharing your wonderful work

It's so helpful to have the photo reference. Being able to use live actors with authentic clothing would be a huge help. I don't have anyone like that.

i like your hat, and cat.

What is the process for then getting the painting printed onto multiple many covers of books? Especially before the days of digital art?

Are you painting on a traditional canvas or one mounted on something like a gatorboard? By the way, great painting, Steve.

Steve, quick question, that's maybe somewhat related to the topic of this video, that I'd like to get your take on. I was recently asked to produce a bird illustration to be published in a scientific journal article, which I did and painted in oils. Now, I've been invited to an exhibition and want to show this bird oil painting I did. Question is will I run into any kind of copyright issues if I were to sell the painting at the exhibition and then later it gets published in an article? Thanks for your advice!
