Hi there,
I have several questions, so I guess I'll just post them and you choose whatever question you think would be interesting for your readers:
1) In what way are you inspired by the Old Masters in regard to composition? Are there any poeses, light/shadow patters, lines etc. that directly influenced your paintings?
2) Do you think it is possible for a hobby-painted to reach a fairly high level of mastership without attending an academy for several years? (I'm 35, have a family and a regular job, so there is no way I could ever go to an atelier/academy)
3) Could you tell us something about your materials (brushes, medium, paint etc.)?
Looking forward to the interview.
Regards,
John
I think it would be nice to hear about what thoughts lead you to your narrative themes. I find there are few narrative painters in contempory art, and it would be great if you could discuss your creative thought process.
Could you explain your Painting technique (ie. drawing, under paintings, paint application, tools, and oils). In looking at your progress shots of paintings on your blog I find it hard to understand your rationale for your method of painting (ie. At times small untouched areas of your paintings are surround by 'fully' modeled areas)
Varnishing of paintings seems rarely addressed. Peoples different approaches to this may be interesting.
