Stevan Dohanos (1907-1994) shared his process for painting this cover for the Saturday Evening Post.


The image shows a mother and daughter lifting newly hatched chicks into the brooder. How did he come up with the idea, find props and models, and execute the finish?

The following vintage behind-the scenes film (YouTube video) dramatizes the process by re-enacting it in a filmed skit. 


The style of the video is a little corny and artificial by today's standards, but the method Dohanos uses is consistent with the process outlined in the legendary Famous Artists Course binders.  

Thanks to the Norman Rockwell Museum for uploading this video.
