Watercolor artists

Watercolor artists / Watercolor artists I admire, some I have interviewed for the podcast, others I just enjoy.

Stanka Kordic / Stanka Kordic graduated from college with an illustration degree & quickly discovered she needed to adapt & reinvent herself. That is hard enough but Stanka tackled this at the same time she started her family.

Stanka shares how she found collectors initially & what happened later when she pivoted to social media and to find collectors and galleries that interested her. She shares how she used the artist community to guide her choices and help her avoid gallery pitfalls.

Janne Kearney / Janne Kearney started painting in her 40’s. She struggled through her own feelings of not being a “real artist” or that her work was not “valid”. After a health scare shifted her perspective and she was selected as a semi-finalist for the BP portrait awards, Janne Kearney is feeling a lot more comfortable in her role as an artist. With those distractions gone, Janne is focused on what actually matters: http://savvypainter.com/podcast/janne-kearney/

Marc Trujillo / Listen to the interview here: http://www.pinterest.com/savvypainter/

Marc Trujillo paints suburban landscapes. He chooses vast, sprawling environments in which figures are dwarfed by their surroundings.

Marc and I talk candidly about process – he goes into detail about materials and how (and why) he chooses things like: canvas size, how he sets up his palette, how to combine photography with life drawing, and what the best brands of paints are based on his extensive testing.

Tony Peters / Tony and I talk about his formative years at the Art Center College of Design, and what he learned by assisting and being mentored by several influential artists there. We talk about “The Church of Art”, a term we made up ( I think) while talking about making observational drawing sacred. It’s a sort of life blood of artists and in figure drawing studios, a community we often take for granted. http://savvypainter.com/podcast/tony-peters-1/

Duane Keiser / Almost 10 years ago Duane came up with a way to connect directly with his painters and challenge himself creatively.

Since then, Duane has sold somewhere around 1300 paintings, and he has inspired countless artists who have copied his strategy.

Philip Geiger / geiger’s lustrous light, loose brushwork and subtle color tellingly capture the nuances of mood and feeling that make up the more peaceful moments of contemporary family life. Phillip Geiger eschews a specific narrative in his paintings, challenging viewers to meditate on our society's daily rituals and settings, and the meanings which may underlie seemingly mundane moments.

According to Giorgio Vasari, he was the teacher of Giotto, the first great artist of the Italian Proto-Renaissance.
