just take the seminar for the novelty of it, then you’ll have painters who will take it for their
own purposes, having nothing to do with the medium what so ever, and that’s what I’m
focusing on more in the seminar, the content of it is my technique as an artist. I think the
medium is secondary to the art, I believe it should never overshadow it. It’s a kind of fine
line because often the media likes to focus on the blood, which obviously, it’s a point of
interest, but I could be painting in any medium and the paintings would still look like that,
they would be just as developed.
Yeah your talent transcends the medium, I think in the beginning the attraction
and the curiosity brings you in, but once you see the work, it’s just beautiful work.
Thank you, but yeah to answer your question and talk about the seminar a bit, once
again it’s the first time I’m doing a seminar, so I’m excited to do it, It will be in lecture
format initially, I’m going to go over all my techniques, I’m just going to give it all away,
then I will be doing a demonstration. I will be doing a first pass of a painting, so the beginning, and then I will be doing a last pass, the finishing touches. The attendees can get a
sense of how I start and finish everything. Then I will be giving them a time-lapse video
presentation of my last painting in its entirety, so every step of the way. For someone
who would like to paint photo realistically, whether it’s figurative work, human figures or
not, whether it’s surrealism or not, if they would like to focus on very detailed work, that is
again, photo-realistic, this would be a good opportunity f or those people to see the whole
process demystified. Because It’s just dozens and dozens of passes over the surface of
the whole painting to get it to look like that.
Do you have any plans to get into making DVDs? I know a lot of artists are doing
that right now.
You know, I haven’t even
thought about that, but maybe
I will. That would be cool. I’m a
pretty modest guy, a lot of the
time I feel like, I think that everyone who’s putting DVDs out
is justified in doing so, I think
they are providing something
and sharing something with
people.
The tattoo artist Halo is actually putting out a DVD, it’s
not so much about tattooing
it’s more about Photoshop
for tattoo artists, some artists stay away from technology completely, he’s trying
