Live broadcasting by Ustream

Be sure to see my other free video series.

The Dave the Painting Guy PaintCast™ used to be a free, 4-nights-per-week, internet broadcast from the home art studio of David R. Darrow. Think of it as being invited to look over his shoulder as he painted. Things have changed, and currently the brodcast is anything but regular. Perhaps after Dave gets some things sorted out, he'll begin regular broadcasts again.
When on the air, the PaintCast also includes a text-based chat-room where regulars gather to "talk art" and just hang out; kind of a Happy Hour for painters of all styles and levels of skill. In the growing audience, there's still room for you! Click here to view!
The PaintCast, now in its fourth year of broadcasting, has also become a learning station for many artists, new and experienced, as Dave talks about solid, time-tested fundamentals as he paints. Dave also offersextended, detailed online workshops attended by art students from, literally, all over the globe.

This is a 'TV show' of sorts; a video internet stream all about art techniques, oil and acrylic painting, from a portrait painter, who has been painting professionally for nearly 30 years. As a freelance illustrator, David R. Darrow — Dave The Painting Guy — worked for advertising companies and design houses in San Diego, Orange County, Palm Desert, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley with clients all over the United States.

Dave has taught at the college and university levels for many years of his professional art career. He is a graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, where he subsequently taught Advanced Advertising Illustration Techniques to 7th and 8th term students, helping them refine their skills, encouraging them to work at a skill level many of his students, prior to his classes, did not know they could.

Dave, along the way, got into computers as a hobby -- trying always to convince himself he only needed these 'monsters' for his art business, but really just fascinated by what they could do. Starting in 1984, he bought a CP/M system from Kaypro Computers of Solana Beach, CA, and eventually moved to Macs and PCs, with which he is highly proficient.

This show is about painting "Dave's Way" -- he doesn't intend to teach, it just comes out that way. Really, Dave is just an answer man. People log in and chat, and inevitably questions are asked. The communication comes from all over the world, but he responds to the camera via video and microphone. The set-up works great.

There is a definite personality to the show. Dave is a gregarious fellow with a positive spin on life, a great sense of humor, quick, dry wit and a good memory for the names of his viewers and where they are watching from, making the whole show very personal, almost like being at his Jack Richeson easel with him.

Darrow gladly shares tips and secrets, working methods, mixtures, glazes, oil painting mediums, photographic lighting, digital camera tricks and so much more in the course of his broadcasts which average about 4 per week.
