Listen "#3 Painting light"
Episode Synopsis
Light is everything. In this episode, we dive deep into how artists see, capture, and harness light in painting. We talk about: • The struggles of turning solid paint into a visual map of light beams • Using colored light to create harmony and mood • How the shadow is essential to see light • Morandi, art historical glow-ups, and why cats with no hair deserve a place in art history • Plus, a little beat poetry and philosophical rambling (as usual) Whether you're a painter seeking to elevate your understanding of light, or an art collector curious about what makes a painting glow, this one’s for you. Subscribe for more deep-dives into painting, colour theory, and the messy beauty of contemporary representational art. Hosted by working artists who actually paint (and talk a lot). Drop a comment about your favourite use of light in art—or your favourite hairless cat. #paintingchallenge #artchallenge #improveyourpaintingskills #artistvlog #paintingstudies #contemporaryart #learnhowtopaint #paintingtechniques #artforcollectors #smerdontoast
