Finishing an Epic Battle of Gettysburg Oil Painting 154th New York of Coster’s Brigade Part 2

In this video, I am finishing up work on a large 48in x 24in Civil War oil painting I started before I had a Youtube Channel, on the 154th New York Infantry (The Hardtack Regiment) of Charles R. Coster’s Brigade of Adolf von Steinwehr’s Division of the Union Army’s 11th Corps, during their brief, but bloody action at the Kuhn’s Brickyard on the afternoon of July 1, 1863 during the battle of Gettysburg. Known more famously as “the Brickyard fight:” the decisive action by Coster to place his brigade on this ground, proved to be a vital factor in slowing down the late afternoon Confederate assault, and bought precious time for the other Union brigades of the 1st and 11th Corps to escape to Cemetery Hill. In this video, I will be focusing mainly on finishing up the small details on the long arms, equipment, uniforms and flags.Show more
