Show Notes
Virgil Elliott knows traditional oil painting, in fact, he wrote the book on it! It was a few years ago that I stumbled upon his book "Traditional Oil Painting" and read through, I quickly realised that there were many things I didn't know about my own profession; in fact there were many things I was doing in the studio that were causing irreversible harm to the paintings I had painstakingly crafted. Reading Virgil's book, and then joining the private Facebook page by the same name, represented a paradigm shift in my work. Virgil's teachings fundamentally changed the way I approach painting. In this conversation I wanted to revisit some of the themes we discussed way back in episode 2, when we spoke last, and pick up where we left off. This episode is one to keep coming back to: have a notebook handy! Here's Virgil's latest Instructional Video: https://painttube.tv/products/virgil-elliott-traditional-oil-painting-the-principles-of-visual-reality Here's a link to the latest edition of his book! https://www.echopointbooks.com/art/traditional-oil-painting

Check out the full video version!🎥 https://www.tisch.academy/ Mark Maggiori is making serious waves in the Western art scene right now. His recent show was a total sell-out, with one of his paintings completely shattering records, hitting a massive 1.3 million dollars at auction. But what really strikes me about Mark is just how incredibly dialed in he is. Despite that level of stratospheric success, he’s just completely committed to the craft - he literally went straight back to work at the easel. It’s so inspiring to see someone so authentically engaged in the pure act of painting while operating at the absolute highest level. It honestly feels like he is single-handedly paving the way for traditional realism artists all around the world. They say success leaves clues, and my goal with this episode is to dig a little deeper, peel back the layers, and figure out exactly what he does and how he does it. The man genuinely lives and breathes his subject matter. So, join me for this conversation as we dive into his recent show, his incredible rise to success, his exact process for capturing these mesmerising scenes, and so much more!Following Mark Maggiori on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmaggiori/ Mark Maggiori’s website: https://markmaggiori.com/
