On Spiritual Freedom with Martin Hägglund
On this episode of the podcast, I talk to Swedish philosopher Prof. Martin Hägglund from Yale University about his book This Life: Why Mortality Makes Us Free. The dominant theme of our conversation was the meaning of freedom. Martin has a distinct notion of the demands of being free and we got into a detailed discussion about what freedom really means, how to think about it, how freedom is tied up with our social activities and just why our mortality is exactly the thing that makes us free. As well we talked about how human beings are a di...

Are you using your artistic vision or copying an image? What if you took a class and are inspired by the instructor, and use their lesson and reference material, is it now yours?

Pushing through the fear, do you need to be perfect?
Pushing through the fear. Do you feel the need to always be perfect? What kind of artist do you want to be? Do you want to have the control you want over your brushstrokes, and if you don’t it can depend on the brush and the amount of water it’s holding? Are your paintings to weak and wimpy, and are you afraid of the darks? Try to relax and think of every painting as an experiment. We will be looking at a few white flower paintings and talk...

Making your own granulating colors
The wonderful thing about being able to mix your own granulating color combinations is that you have a wide variety available to you without a large investment. Granulating colors can help to add texture to objects such as wood, rocks, landscapes or abstract paintings, but if you are looking for clean clear washes for skies or flowers, then you may want to avoid it. The real key here is to use Mars black as your foundation, then blend it with any one to two earth or cobalt colors, and apply color to a wet surface, l...

I Love this brush, effortless glazing without lifting the previous layer
When I first started painting years ago, the art store where I did my first demonstration gifted me with the largest brush that I had ever seen, a #30. I had no idea what to do with it, or how to use it, it wasn't terribly comfortable in my hand, I thought the brush they gave me was nice, so I just put it to the side, because most of my brushes that I worked with at that time, were the smaller #3, #8, #10 and maybe the largest brush being a #12.
