Can painting continue guarding the fortress against the robot barbarians at the gate? Stay tunedâŠ

Todayâs episode taught me a great deal about a very important and pressing topic: the intersection of art and parenting. I donât have kids yet, so I invited two special guests to shine a light on this topic, they are Emily Fossum and Hannah Leach. Two working artists who are also full-time busy moms. They also happen to be star students of mine, who can outperform me with techniques I pretty much invented. We spoke about how to build your own art space, making art as a family, forging art camaraderies, tips for getting and excelling at commission work, how to draw knowledge from museums, the unique beauty of drawing, and more. Hannah and Emily offered lots of generous advice, which Iâm sure youâll find both useful and inspiring.

Steven Diamant is the owner and founder of Arcadia Contemporary, one of the worldâs leading galleries for realistic art. Steven and I covered several pressing topics: how to work with galleries, the business of sales, the importance of Instagram for artists, how art universities are delinquent in their duties, timelessness and trends in the arts, and more. This is also the first podcast episode that I recorded in-person! I came down to Arcadia with two microphones and we recorded the talk right there in Stevenâs office.

Today we are touching on a topic that is pressing and urgent for many of us - can we paint without using solvents? As you know, solvents are harmful to our health, and eliminating or reducing their usage should be on everyoneâs agenda. But how can we do it? We will be diving deeply into this question, and providing actionable technical insights you can start using pretty much as soon as you finish this episode. Hope you find this information as valuable as I did!

Painting has been proclaimed dead many times throughout history, and yet people like me and probably you continue to sling paint around, still believing it matters. Iâm sure youâll enjoy this true-crime episode, where we explore the alleged death-scenes, victims, and perpetrators.
And what a treat, ladies and gentlemen, setting an ARTâS COOL record, the great Ilya Gefter is back on the podcast for the 2nd episode in a row, and 3rd episode in total. I introduced Ilya when he first came on the show, which was episode 8, and from the feedback Iâve been getting about our most recent conversation I suspect Ilya will soon need no introduction. Ilya came up with this conversation topic, and Iâm so fortunate to be able to engage with his ideas and insights - and to bring them to you. If you enjoy this episode and you want us to do more of these, make sure to follow Ilya on instagram @ilyagefter.art and the rest of his social media pages which Iâll list in the show notes. Let him know you enjoyed his appearance on the show, and letâs hope he comes back for more, as weâll all be the better for it.

Todayâs topic is "Realism," what it meant for different painters in different times and ways to think about it today. Very importantly, we also discuss why detail is the enemy of experience, and how Courbet was basically a troll.

Ilya has shown in 14 solo exhibitions before he was 40, heâs won numerous prestigious awards, and his work can be found in notable public collections in the US, Canada, Spain, and Israel.

Todayâs episode is absolutely packed with down-to-earth technical advice which I expect any painting enthusiast will appreciate, and a few inflammatory opinions which may or may not stir the pot. This episode is an Ask Me Anything episode, which means instead of having a guest I can question, the questions were directed at me by a panel of my Patreon supporters. We covered many important topics, such as: how to mix colors for figurative work, how to build confidence, issues regarding social media, the importance or lack thereof of art university degrees, the status of realism in the contemporary art discourse, discussions around supplies, how to use color theory to effectively push color beyond the boundaries of realism, the everlasting photographic reference conundrum, recommended limited palettes, how to use quick sketches to support ambitious projects, how to teach classical painterly principles to young children, and much much more.

Will St. John is one of my favorite living painters. This is the point at which I list selected biographical information that I find on the guestâs âAboutâ page, but Will doesnât have an "About" page. He doesnât even have a website as far as Iâve been able to discern. I reached out to Will to ask him how heâd like to be introduced, and he provided me with the finest bio of all time: âWill St. John is a badass artist. Women desire him; strong men want to be him. The worldâs elite cultural institutions pursue him, but he eludes their advances: heâs too busy being spectacular.â

This is my favorite episode to date! I speak with Alex Castilla, an incredibly accomplished experimental physicist, a student of painting, and one of my Patreon supporters. This episode is a mentorship session I had with Alex: he asked me brilliantly incisive questions about painting and I did my best to cover them in the most in-depth way possible. Alex requested that we make this mentorship session public so that everyone may benefit from it, so you should be thankful to him for the release of this episode.
