  • Great Guests; Good Questions

    They have a good variety of guests and ask questions that are interesting and based off the context of the guests' answers. Keep going!!

    At some point it might be worth learning how to record into a mic better to reduce "room tone".

    Give me a break. The commercials are blasting and they are so intrusive. Won't listen anymore.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Barber
Q: Have you found any parts apart from the edges, which I thought really relates to this, where you found a place for discovery and invention in the process of making your paintings?
Barber is exploring color, hue, chroma, and texture to guide the viewer and make his paintings more personal, including varying backgrounds and letting underpainting show through.
David Barber
Q: So what was it that Oils offer you where you gave up acrylic and watercolour? What happened there?
Barber was drawn to oil's versatility and slower drying time, which let him manipulate paint on the surface and explore different approaches.
Emily Tayman
Q: Is there any advice you can share about how to go from oil to acrylic?
She says skills developed with oils, including color mixing, managing paint thickness, and blending, carried over to acrylics. She recommends choosing useful colors, beginning without hesitation, and learning through mistakes.
Emily Tayman
Q: Has living in Portugal influenced your work at all?
Tayman says Lisbon's creative atmosphere, colorful tilework, and city life influenced the mood and baby-blue palette of Reveries of Muse. She also found the local gallery community welcoming and supportive.
Andrew Piankovski
Q: How do you decide on a subject and develop an idea for a painting?
Ideas may come from films, people or landscapes he sees, or interesting light in everyday life. When working with a model, he gives the pose time to become natural, then uses sketches and visual notes to preserve and develop the idea.
