How to Paint a Detailed Military History Oil Painting of the Civil War Battle of Fort Wagner Part 1

In this video, Military Historical Artist Mark Maritato begins work on a privately commissioned oil painting depicting Colonel Haldimand S. Putnam of the 7th New Hampshire infantry as he lead his brigade mixed Federal regiments into the battle of Fort Wagner, South Carolina on July 18, 1863 during the American Civil War. The video is a time-lapse showing the beginning under-painting phase of the development of this artwork. Other videos will follow showing more of how this painting develops into a fully realized historical Artwork. This video also shows Mark Maritato’s technique for transferring a concept drawing onto a blank canvas using a tracing process with charcoal transfer paper. One the drawing is transferred onto the canvas, then the work of painting the initial under painting in acrylic paints can begin.
