109. Historical adventures in Pigment with Steven Patterson
Susan Nethercote Studio Insider Art PodcastShow Notes
In today’s episode, I’m chatting again with Steven Patterson, the CEO of one of my favourite paint brands, Derivan Matisse. Steven and I first chatted in episode 96, so if you’d like to hear more about his journey with this fabulous and innovative Australian paint brand, then be sure to go and check that out in the archives.
We identified in that conversation that we both had a fascination with colour and the history of pigment and thought it would be great to have another chat, this time focusing on Steven’s vast knowledge in these areas.
So join us as we dive deep into how it is that we actually see colour and how the pigments in paints that you know and to use today came into being. There are so many bizarre and fascinating stories to unpack as we zone in and look at the history of the colour blue.
In this episode, we talked about:
Steven explains how it is that we actually SEE colour
The history of how humans see colour
What are some of the earliest pigments that were used by early humans to make art?
Paint and fabric drying during the middles ages in the west
All about the first pigment that was created
The story about another gorgeous blue, cobalt blue, which appeared about a century later and also has a really interesting history of evolution
short notes on what makes these pigments so revolutionary?
And MUCH MORE!

So I thought it was about to time to check in and let you know what I’ve been up to and how it’s been going.
Hi friends and welcome to episode 117. It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat. It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril.
