- MITCH ALBALA is an exceptional painter and extraordinary teacher who has just released THE LANDSCAPE PAINTER'S WORKBOOK, one of the best books Charlie has ever read on the subject of representational painting. It doesn't hurt that Mitch used one of Charlie's paintings as an example of pretty good monochromatic work. Join us for a lively conversation about problems representational painters face and how to ask the right questions in order to find solutions.
Fantastic interview full of information and examples, all from a fresh viewpoint. Thanks Charlie for having him on.
Another enjoyable afternoon, thanks Charlie & Mitchell.
I also know what book I will next be adding to my wee art library.
Great interview!
I bought the book, I agree that it is great. Apparently it is a continuation from his earlier book, thoug it stands alone.
In fairness I love both of Charlie Hunter's Streamline videos.
The second one is better than the first.
@@CharlieHunterArt Of course. That does set a high bar for the third.
I think the second one which is the field scene (?) will fit right in with some of the themes you may have had in common in the above discussion.
I also added your palette to my collection of Cobra paints that consisted mainly of boxes of their 10 paints. I haven't tried them yet, because I came across a massive sale dump of Artisan paints for 2 dollars a tube, not that Cobra is expensive. However Artisan is sorta sticky. It is greatly improved when used with turpentine outdoors. But that kinda goes against the whole point of non-toxics...
Charlie, you suggested that doing good album designs had taught you composition. I suggest that you did good album designs because you knew good composition already.
That's likely true. I should have given massive credit to my extremely thorough, if joyless, undergraduate graphic design education.
