About Clayton Beck III

After graduation from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Clayton studied at the Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts with Richard Schmid. Clayton’s career began while still at the American Academy, exhibiting at Jody Kirberger’s Talisman Gallery and winning awards from the Midwest Pastel Society, the Palette and Chisel and the Pastel Society of America. He began teaching Saturday classes in Chicago after graduation from art school.

Artist Statement: “My love for painting has always been enhanced by my love to teach. Any artist who thinks they understand painting should try teaching. They will soon realize how little they know. I have always felt that I have a responsibility to teach because I have been given a generous gift from my teachers (i.e. Bill Parks, Ted Smuskiewicz, and Richard Schmid), and it should be passed on to the next generation of painters who share this love of art.”

In this 3+ hour demonstration, Lipking takes you through his process of painting the nude figure in the lush outdoor landscape of the Eastern Sierras. Get a first-hand look into his methods creating his beautiful ethereal figures amongst the beautiful Aspen trees.

A versatile painter, Jeremy Lipking’s artistic output includes landscapes and still lifes, however he feels especially compelled to paint what he sees as the most classical of artistic subjects, the human figure.

By painting his subjects in outdoor settings, Lipking’s paintings are reminiscent of the artists of the nineteenth century naturalist movement. Like those painters, Lipking prefers to work in a cool, limited palette to create his unique sense of mood.
