  • 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.

Joe Gyurcsak
Q: How did you end up balancing a career in product education with painting and teaching?
I leveraged my deep knowledge of materials to bridge the gap between the chemist and the artist, creating teaching moments that were valuable for students and credible for the brand, which led to ongoing invitations and deeper collaboration.
Artem Rohovyi
Q: So what is it about gouache that appealed to you and what made you switch from oil to gouache?
Gouache opened up a new way to express the graphic texture and color relationships he wanted in his tree paintings. After discovering another Ukrainian artist who used gouache, he realized its potential, experimented in 2014, paused for eight years, and restarted in 2022 when he could not afford oil materials after moving due to the war.
Pete "The Street" Brown
Q: What happened during your year out, and how did it influence your work?
He describes a break after art school, moving to Bath, rediscovering charcoal drawing, and a shift away from pure abstract/academic directions toward a more grounded, place-driven approach that eventually led back to painting streets and landscapes, with a renewed focus on authentic observational work.
Pete "The Street" Brown
Q: So would you mind introducing yourself for the audience, please?
Pete Brown introduces himself as Pete The Street, explaining the nickname and his street-focused painting practice, then details his background and philosophy about painting from life and avoiding photographic references.
Antony Williams
Q: Can you talk about scaling up tempera works and handling large surfaces?
Temperas can be used on large scales, but it requires enormous time and patience, applying many tiny touches over months to achieve depth and texture; the surface remains responsive to light and color interactions even at large sizes.
