WONDERFUL ! Can you describe Renato's method for layering - does he let the underpainting dry completely and then go in with glazes and opaques? Still using liquin? How about a second interview that describes his process in more detail??
I want to add my heartfelt thank yous to you first, Andrew because I have been enjoying your beautiful work and teaching. You are a very naturally talented interviewer as well as Artist. You bring out the best in others and are very genuine. I will now be checking out the other Artist's work...if you recommend him I know I will love his work too...and I will be looking his work up! He also seems genuine and so knowledgeable. The Internet-based pod casts are helping so many of us. I love that I am finally going back to my own Art! I have been so inspired!
Aspiring Landscape painter here from India. Absolutely loved this episode, probably one of my favorites till now. ( i watch as I paint, in no particular order) Look forward to more great podcasts such as these. Amazing effort Mr. Tischler :)
Absolutely ate up everything that was said here. Artistic self-doubt from artists this accomplished never ceases to amaze me! Thank you for doing these podcasts!
I love honest talk. Two things I wrote down. Don't let commercialism poison your creative path & Confidence and experience travel on two different boats. Big thumbs up on this podcast. Keep em coming.
I loved this interview! As a 66 year old realist painter, I really connected to your comment about academia controlling the art work for so long. Sadly, realism was shunned for over 50 years. When I ask people about what kinds of art they like, they always reply with "I don't know about art" and "I know what I like, but I don't know if I am right". Sad that people have shame involved with expressing their artistic preferences, and they feel judged! So glad that realist art has finally found it's voice!
My screen savers at my work computer are Andrew Tischler and Renato Muccillo in constant rotation... Between working (cough), I stop and get lost in there work. So great a combo for a podcast. Brilliant stuff gentlemen.
Wow . Two great artists in one video. And Renato is correct, Your videos are excellent, I watch them with great pleasure. I paint and still learning and you both are my inspiration ❤❤❤
I am a fan and student of Joseph McGurl so of course, your works, both of you resonate with me. I especially appreciate the Renato Muccillo talking on his website about not thinking he might be a good teacher. Teaching is as much an art as painting. Most of the artists I know think "I can paint, therefore I can teach". Not really. I do know some extraordinary artist teachers. I know many more that are lovely painters, but have not taken the time [understandable] to learn to teach. I so appreciated that. Your work is amazing. Thank you, both, for painting.
Amazing in-depth discussion with Renato Muccillo. So grateful for the generosity displayed by you both in sharing your passion, wisdom and technique. One can see why you are both so successful. Inspiring!
The fact that this guy isn’t super young is inspiring...it could take years to become a full time artist so everyone should remember that😀 like andrew always tells us there’s no way to replace those hours and years of experience in the studio...doesn’t happen in a year or even five years ...could take 20. Thanks for the great podcast
I love this chat Andrew. It is very thought provoking and inspiring! I have been listening to your podcast throughout making my first ever oil painting. Thank you for thinking of us and making these. 😊
Oh wow what an honour to interview Mr Muccillo. His work is so inspirational for me. Hearing his story is just making me explode with joy. Thank you both for making this production.
The transparency and realism in both of you are admirable in so many levels. Thank you so much Andrew for this highly knowledgable and entertaining internview with Renato. I am starting my own gallery this year and I can't wait to apply all the things that I've learn from both of you! Simply amazing
Thank you for offering conversations of process, purpose, and opinion, and for bringing conversations in the art world together through modern technology. We don't all have people in our lives we can sit and converse with about where we are at creatively, and this platform is a great place for hearing others, finding common threads amongst us, and gleaning a little information.
Like watching a top box office hit movie with 2 leading stars playing their leading parts! So very informative, entertaining, & awe inspiring. Andrew should run a series, several every year, with the Instagram Artists nursery of up & comers along with esablished Pros. The laid back , informal, persona of both these guys was a total joy to watch, listen, enjoy & learn from! TY to U BOTH! Renoto's painter philosophy puts me in mind of that quote... “The question is not what you look at, but what you see.” HDT.
Hey Andrew, I've watched dozens of your videos and podcasts and have never weighed in so a big fat Thank You for all that you do! I can't agree more with Renato - your videos are truly amazing! Awesome sound, lighting, insightful, you've got it goin' on as they say. My life is enriched! I've started painting and loving' it! Thanks for the inspiration and so many helpful and practical tips. After 36 years of not painting (since high school) and raising a family of 12 kids and a couple of careers, I am working hard at picking up where I left off all those years ago. Regards. PD
Another enjoyable podcast. Renata is quite a character being that he is so transparent. Loved his story. Will look forward to seeing his work. Thank you Andrew!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this podcast,I am fortunate to have learned from both these amazing artists and there unique artistic processes whether it be by there video's which I have purchased and or simply viewing there artworks online.Thank you Andrew Tischler for the awesome podcasts keep them coming👍
I loved this visit with Renato! I so enjoy listening to peoples stories. Thanks so much for being willing to take the time out to do these interviews. They are so encouraging!
At 1:03:00 and thereabout, Renato talks about the dangers of trying to follow in someone else's footsteps and losing yourself, rather than being true to yourself. I have two, apparently contradictory, comments about that. One of my favourite painters is Vermeer, and a couple of years ago I went to an exhibition in Dublin, called 'Vermeer and the masters of genre painting'. They had some nine Vermeers there, which was fantastic, along with many others by Jan Steen, Gabriel Metsu, Pieter de Hooch, Gerrit Dou, Gerard ter Borch, etc, but the theme was something I was totally unaware of. The Dutch Little Masters all either knew each other or knew of each other, were very aware of the things the others were painting, and commonly adopted a theme started by one of the others and made their own take on the subject. For example, Gerard ter Borch painted 'Young Woman at her Toilet with a Maid' around 1650. This inspired Frans van Meiris to paint 'Woman before a Mirror' in 1662; same theme, but the woman was reaching up to fiddle with her necklace rather than adjust her corset. This painting, in turn, inspired Vermeer to paint 'Woman with a Pearl Necklace' that same year or in the next couple of years. ter Borch's painting also inspired Caspar Netscher to produce his 'Woman at her Toilet' in 1665. Around 1658, Gerard ter Borch painted 'Officer Writing a Letter', along with the companion piece, 'Woman Sealing a Letter'. This inspired Vermeer to paint 'Lady Writing a Letter, with her Maid'; Gabriel Metsu's 'Man Writing a Letter' and 'Woman Reading a Letter', and so on. I could say something similar. When I watched Andrew's video about painting the egret in a tree, it had not occurred to me that there was so much to be got out of painting purely white birds, I had always gone for colourful birds or those with clear markings. Now I want to paint similar things, including a Little Egret that has been around the estuary here. It will look nothing remotely like the inspiration, but I wouldn't paint it if I hadn't seen that original. But this is still following your heart, I think. Just as you respond to things in the natural world and be inspired to paint them, you can be inspired by other people's paintings and want to paint your own take on the same subject. By contrast, I remember being very struck by something that the Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes, once said. He was going home one evening when a man offered him a fox cub for a pound. He wanted to raise it as a pet, but then he thought it would always be wild, would be very smelly and impossible to house train, etc. My thoughts felt like big, ignorant hounds Circling and sniffing around him. Then I walked on As if out of my own life. I let that fox-cub go. I tossed it back Into the future Of a fox-cub in London That phrase, as if I walked out of my own life, really resonates with me, and I think that is what Renato is referring to. If you just paint what you think might sell or that you see other people being successful with even though it doesn't really touch you, or if you feel drawn to painting but never take the risk, you are walking out of your own life, and living somebody else's.
The amount of wisdom from this podcast is unbelievable! Thank you both for the amazing influence you have on me! As a struggling artist myself, these are the exact words I needed to hear!
Loved this one Andrew. I look forward to these each week, sometimes I forget you only do them once a week....and cant wait to sit down and paint , listen and be inspired. I paint a lot of Cows..would love to hear from Artists that embrace the cattle that lives in Australia and New Zealand....
wow! your paintings are amazing.......so natural...light in your paintings are so subtle yet ...fully into the scene of drama....its not hyperrealistic...but so painterly.......excellent.
You’re amazing and so selfless in sharing your knowledge and reaching out to other talented artists! You’re so incredibly inspiring and encouraging with your pod casts and insights to the creative endeavour! Thank you!
That helped! Hearing you guys talk about how you struggle and beat yourself up when you are starting on a painting really helps me to know that it’s not just me - encourages me to press on. I’ve had to rely on my work as a professional gardener and make a transition in winter to painting (mainly because my hands get too beat up and shaky plus I’m just zonked after gardening work). I feel like I have to knock down a wall (in my head) to make the transition but am encouraged to push through the wall! Thanks! There are many other things I’ve gleaned from this and other Creative Endeavor podcasts but this particular thing is what I needed to hear at this moment!😊
The genuine enthusiasm, knowledge and respect you two display is exciting. There was so much excellent information in this podcast, it's worth my time to do it again.
Ive been following Renato on Instagram for a while now and i was thrilled to see him on the podcast. Fantastic episode! And the swearing made me feel right at home. 😉 😁
Incredibly humble talented Renato Muccillo. Fantastic interview Andrew. It filled me up with inspiration admiration hope confidence and more than I can put in words. I feel excited about going forward in my art career. To be true to myself was a keynote i have taken to heart. Thank you, thank you, you Andrew for making this video happen and for Renato for being so open and totally authentic. What a treat.
Thank you Andrew for yet another very informative, entertaining, and inspirational podcast. It is so encouraging to see that talent coupled with relentless dedication pays off.
I sat through this entire podcast for almost 2 hours and was consistently captivating.. .Thanks to you both!! Excellent! I want so much to paint like you both... Now off to the studio more inspired!
Another great interview Andrew. Wow can this guy paint! Such great landscapes. Interesting that he leaves it up to the galleries once he found good ones. I can get that view as it leaves way more time to paint. Hats off.
Thank you for creating these videos. It is wonderful to learn about your and other artists’ journeys, personal lives and professional habits. Your inquiries, the answers and advice are all very insightful, informative and inspirational. Thank you!
I’m so excited to listen to this collaboration - I started following Renato’s work recently on IG and I’m blown away by the tranquility and masterful detail shown in his realism work. And Andrew is, of course, my ultimate inspiration as an artist and online mentor!! If I ever met Andrew in person I would probably have to be carried off on a stretcher😱
Hi Andrew, your podcasts are awesome!!! Love how you introduce us to these phenomenal artists and your interviews bring out so much from these artists that we all learn from. You are the BEST Andrew, thank you!! Loved it! Sir Muccillo is AMAZING!!!
Another wonderful interview. And another great artist to follow and be inspired by. So happy you are addicted to teaching Andrew, as many around the world are very happy to be your students. So many fantastic comments but I think my fav was the "giving birth" one. Renato describes perfectly the relationship one has with one's work as it takes shape until it is completed.
Wow...such an amazing episode. As a 40 year old wanting to make the switch from FT corp art to painting, it's inspiring to know that success can be found in that midlife switch. Thanks for what you do Andrew!
another amazing conversation as usual. thank you to both of you :) I particularly enjoyed hearing Renato's process and to know he is primarily self taught.
I feel better knowing that someone with his talent goes through the ups and downs of, it's great, it's crap, it's great, I'm crap, it might be ok, it's great.
Another great video! Loving the frequency of these podcasts. I'd like to hear more from artists who use all sorts of different mediums (pastels, pencils, etc) and even sculptors and people from different creative endeavors! :) Thank you so much Andrew!
Man what a wonderful artist Mucillo is, and this a very informing, interesting podcast. I was not familiar with him and his work until I tuned in and became entirely absorbed into what he had to say. His art is amazing. Thanks for presenting that. He and you both are so inspiring.
Amazing interview ANDREW!!! Wow. You are just amazing . Renato Muccillo is an outstanding artist ( like you Andrew) and wow does he look great.. *54 no way*
Great interview with two artists which I hold in such high regard. In the the past I have always thought myself to be an extremely ‘eccentric’ individual, this lead to feel somewhat isolated, through watching these/your videos and putting myself out there to meet other artists and creative people; I have learned otherwise. Just this knowledge alone has helped to pull me out of my shell and recognize that outreach can be a healthy experience. Thank you.
Everything is epic! Great interview Andrew. I am one of those artist struggling to balance my desk job and desire to becoming a full-time artist. Anytime I feel discouraged, I can always count on your podcasts to help keep me on my creative path. Thank you :)
I’m so excited to see you interview Renato, two artist who I highly respect. I’m lucky enough to have a painting by Renato hanging in my bedroom, would love to own one of yours some day myself.. as well as produce something half as great.
Hey Andrew Dylan here, I had to watch this particular video over two sittings, when I got back home last night after work and this morning. But totally worth it. As you guys were talking about and looking up the artist you were talking about I would pause the video and have a look at the artist in question. Mind blowing. What really got to me was the balance you guys were talking about. I find it difficult personally because my life is already busy with work and my wife working as well and getting the children to and from school I find is hard some times. I don't have a 9-5 job its more like night shifts, 9-5 shifts and overnight shifts. I have a few days on during the second week and I try and get some work done then. But i find my self just dog tired then. Making the "shift" would be my goal but i am unsure of how to do this at this stage. any advise would be appreciated
Awesome podcast Andrew, Renato’s work is very inspiring. Being able to maintain his art career while working early in his career would have definitely been hard to do. Just shows if you stick at it and want to make it a career it can happen. 👍😀
Thank you for this, Andrew. I've been so tight for many years and I crave to paint more loosely with spontaneity. I'm in my sixties and need to start now. Great podcast!
one last comment based on the video. I believe plein air [and studio landscape] painters paint the history of the now. And that is one of the most important jobs I know of.
I am so inspired. Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that from you legends, that painting is not all flowers and butterflies! It is funny, we sometimes gun ourselves down thinking it should be, and it really is not. So many videos make the process out to be as smooth as unicorn hair, but the artistic phsycological aspect really doesn't quite allow for that. We become great by being our own worst critics I guess?
Wow!!!! My two favorite painters together!!!!
WONDERFUL ! Can you describe Renato's method for layering - does he let the underpainting dry completely and then go in with glazes and opaques? Still using liquin? How about a second interview that describes his process in more detail??

This was brilliant! Thank you, Andrew and Renato.
Thank you both, I learnt a lot from both of you here.
Thank you for recognizing his MASTER TALENT!
It was my dream to hear an interview with Renato and here it is!!! Thank you so much Andrew!
You're welcome, thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for such a insightful podcast, not only in Renato Muccillo artistic journey but also your own.👍
I loved this visit with Renato! I so enjoy listening to peoples stories. Thanks so much for being willing to take the time out to do these interviews. They are so encouraging!

My thoughts felt like big, ignorant hounds
Circling and sniffing around him.
Then I walked on
As if out of my own life.
I let that fox-cub go. I tossed it back
Into the future
Of a fox-cub in London
That phrase, as if I walked out of my own life, really resonates with me, and I think that is what Renato is referring to. If you just paint what you think might sell or that you see other people being successful with even though it doesn't really touch you, or if you feel drawn to painting but never take the risk, you are walking out of your own life, and living somebody else's.

wow! your paintings are amazing.......so natural...light in your paintings are so subtle yet ...fully into the scene of drama....its not hyperrealistic...but so painterly.......excellent.
I love the display pieces on the shelf behind you.
I love your work guys…The interview was awesome…Thank you.
Renato Muccillo is someone I've looked up to for years. I'm so glad you were able to connect with him and offer this!
My pleasure Marianne!
Fantastic insights! I can very much relate to many things. It’s really fascinating to listing to this conversation, thank you!
Epic interview! Thank you so much Andrew and Renata.
listening to this again.. I love this interview, find it so inspiring! Renato's art is incredible
You’re amazing and so selfless in sharing your knowledge and reaching out to other talented artists! You’re so incredibly inspiring and encouraging with your pod casts and insights to the creative endeavour! Thank you!

I really enjoyed this episode, Renato's ability to paint clouds is epic
Super show. extremely interesting. I thought I'd hang for a few minutes to listen about 'business' and hung avidly through the whole piece.
A most excellent interview. This is the kind of conversation that will be pure gold in future retrospectives.
Incredible interview. Thanks for the effort you put in.
My Pleasure Ken!
You killed it with this interview Andrew! Loved it.
I am a Canadian artist and I really enjoyed this. Thank you very much for the interview.

As always, a great podcast Andrew. Thanks to both of you for generously sharing your time and skills
Man what a wonderful artist Mucillo is, and this a very informing, interesting podcast. I was not familiar with him and his work until I tuned in and became entirely absorbed into what he had to say. His art is amazing. Thanks for presenting that. He and you both are so inspiring.
Thanks so much Ann!
Amazing interview ANDREW!!! Wow.
You are just amazing .
Renato Muccillo is an outstanding artist ( like you Andrew) and wow does he look great.. *54 no way*
Thank you for this fantastic interview! Enjoed listening it so much.
Great interview. He seems to be so genuin
Great interview with two artists which I hold in such high regard. In the the past I have always thought myself to be an extremely ‘eccentric’ individual, this lead to feel somewhat isolated, through watching these/your videos and putting myself out there to meet other artists and creative people; I have learned otherwise. Just this knowledge alone has helped to pull me out of my shell and recognize that outreach can be a healthy experience. Thank you.
Thank you so much I got so much out of this interview! And all the other podcasts are great, really enjoying watching them all. Thanks again!
Best podcast to date! Loved it....thank you!
Everything is epic! Great interview Andrew. I am one of those artist struggling to balance my desk job and desire to becoming a full-time artist. Anytime I feel discouraged, I can always count on your podcasts to help keep me on my creative path. Thank you :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and I've added another artist to follow on Instagram. Thank you for sharing your insights and theirs with us!
I’m so excited to see you interview Renato, two artist who I highly respect. I’m lucky enough to have a painting by Renato hanging in my bedroom, would love to own one of yours some day myself.. as well as produce something half as great.
add wonderful interviewer to your
list of talents. thanks for doing this for all of us.
Hey Andrew Dylan here, I had to watch this particular video over two sittings, when I got back home last night after work and this morning. But totally worth it. As you guys were talking about and looking up the artist you were talking about I would pause the video and have a look at the artist in question. Mind blowing. What really got to me was the balance you guys were talking about. I find it difficult personally because my life is already busy with work and my wife working as well and getting the children to and from school I find is hard some times. I don't have a 9-5 job its more like night shifts, 9-5 shifts and overnight shifts. I have a few days on during the second week and I try and get some work done then. But i find my self just dog tired then. Making the "shift" would be my goal but i am unsure of how to do this at this stage. any advise would be appreciated
Awesome podcast Andrew, Renato’s work is very inspiring. Being able to maintain his art career while working early in his career would have definitely been hard to do. Just shows if you stick at it and want to make it a career it can happen. 👍😀
Thank you for this, Andrew. I've been so tight for many years and I crave to paint more loosely with spontaneity. I'm in my sixties and need to start now. Great podcast!
one last comment based on the video. I believe plein air [and studio landscape] painters paint the history of the now. And that is one of the most important jobs I know of.
I am so inspired. Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that from you legends, that painting is not all flowers and butterflies! It is funny, we sometimes gun ourselves down thinking it should be, and it really is not. So many videos make the process out to be as smooth as unicorn hair, but the artistic phsycological aspect really doesn't quite allow for that. We become great by being our own worst critics I guess?
I love these podcasts they help me so much, and I learn so much!
