Listen to internet radio with Artist Mentors Online on

Blog Talk Radio


with Kevin Macpherson and Linda Fisler

 

August 19, 2011 @ 12:00 Noon EDT

9:00 AM Pacific time


Kevin Macpherson will be answering pre-submitted questions on this show.  It's all about what you want to know about painting or Kevin's career. 

 

Just a quick reminder to pre-submit your questions for Kevin to answer on this Friday's (August 19th) AMO Radio Show! To submit your questions ahead of time, go to Artist Mentors Online blog and leave your question in the comment area. We hope to hear from you and tune in to hear Kevin's answers and advice!

 

Ever wonder how Kevin gets those beautiful colors in his paintings? 

 

Ever wonder how the opportunities to travel to foreign lands come to him?

 

Ever wonder what he is painting next or what’s on his easel?  How about mixing paints–does he ever get a color that he just doesn’t like or is just an ugly mud?

 

How does he keep from mixing mud? 

 

Seems like the questions are endless!!  We know you all must have some thing that is on your mind!

 

Tips on avoiding getting ‘too green’ when painting summer foliage.

 

What are the 3 most important things an artist can do, when beginning to learn to paint plein air?

 

Then, what should they concentrate on and what should they not fall into the trap of doing?

 

Do you use any medium as you mix your paints other than mineral spirits when painting outdoors?

 

Kevin- I met you a couple years ago at the Utrecht Paint out in Central Park. Kenn Backhaus did a portrait of me that day. Something I’ve always wanted to know is your use of light, medium, dark, and chromatic black paint. Do you use these as a base under painting for the big shapes or do you mix these with the primary colors to “grey” out the color? I noticed in the

Passport & Palette Switzerland demo that you started with big gray shapes and then mixed color on top?

 

What did your pond series teach you about painting the same subject so many times? Does your experience from that series still affect your current paintings?

 

Recently you have done several figurative works and I am wondering if you think that landscape paintings are reaching a saturation point and are collectors moving toward figurative work?

 

How do you make your decisions about brushstrokes – which size, which direction, how much variety within a painting?

Here's the link to the blog where you can submit your questions for Kevin to answer.

Just so you know because the show is only 30 minutes long, we will not be taking live calls.

It is very difficult to work in live phone calls, so we need you to pre-submit your questions.  We will have a live chat open and if time permits, we may be able to address a couple of your questions.

Submit your questions on the AMO Blog.

(The blog is moderated to prevent those spammers from posting their advertisements.  Rest assured we will moderate and post them as soon as we are notified that you posted a question.)  We look forward to hearing from you!

On Friday, August 19th, at Noon Eastern, 9:00 Pacific, tune into AMO Radio to hear the answers to the questions.

 

Select the link to send yourself a reminder.  While there, why not become followers of the show?

All shows are taped if you can't listen live.

We hope you can join us!!

All events held at the Historic Salmagundi Club.

Located in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, the historic Salmagundi Club has served as a home for outstanding American art since its founding in 1871. Within a decade it grew from an informal sketch class to an internationally recognized arts organization. Thomas Moran, the Club's fourth President, called it "the most artistic association in the whole country," and today Salmagundi continues its traditions of
helping the American public to a greater understanding and appreciation of art.
