2012 Kentucky Derby Commission Video Demonstrations

2012 Kentucky Derby Poster

What You’ll Discover In This Video Demonstration

In this video demonstration I will share some insight into the prestigious Kentucky Derby commission. This artwork will be used for programs, posters, prints and other memorabilia for the 2012 Kentucky Derby. I videoed the painting from beginning to end so that I could share it with derby fans, collectors and other artists. The commentary will cover medium and why it was chosen. It will also cover some tips for mixing charcoal and acrylic paint.

Never before has the Kentucky Derby artwork been videoed for your viewing pleasure. It was challenging to work with the video and complete the painting too since it was done over several days and I had no assistance with the camera. However, I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to document this event for myself and other viewers to enjoy.

Sit back and relax for the next several minutes while Robert paints the Official Artwork of the 2012 Kentucky Derby.

These works are inspired from Robert’s recent visit to Churchill Downs in 2012. Check them out!

Details About This Painting

This is the official painting for the 2012 Kentucky Oaks. And today you get a special treat. I spent hours in the studio coming up with what I felt was a fantastic and unique artistic representation of the Kentucky Derby and Oaks. Once I knew what I wanted and the composition was approved by Jett Stream Productions and the Churchill Downs Marketing department, I went to work. And I also set-up the video camera so that I could capture the painting process and share it with you.

You’ll also have the opportunity to view the making of the Kentucky derby video very soon. Hope you enjoy it.
