Joseph Michael Todorovitch is a contemporary painter, immersed in figurative subject matter, who is exploring painting through the lens of a naturalist perspective. His paintings are searching for a breathing sense of light, space, time, and subtle narratives that are personal but allow the viewer to ponder and create meaning. His concern for excellence of craftsmanship is balanced with a freedom to explore the playful side of paint application. He simultaneously pushes to create interest with surface abstraction and visual fidelity. The concert of the technical narrative, along with the implied narrative of the subject matter, requires the viewer to complete the experience of a Todorovitch work of art.

Joseph is a legend with a heart of gold. Learned so many great things from his workshop years ago. Thanks for the insightful interview!
Awesome podcast, this was super informative. I knew Joseph either went to California Art Institute or Associates in Art.
28:14 Modern rose madder it not fugitive (pigment index PV19). However its not clear if Joseph is referring to the historic Rose Madder pigment. Still it was used by the old masters and as long as you dont intend for your painting to be on display in sunlight it should retain its quality for a long time. This from Micheal harding: " Before you call me mad for putting such a terribly fugitive colour in the range, let me say in my defence that it’s included for its historic beauty and to help artists get closer to the pallets of earlier times. Unless you display it in direct sunshine, it will last for years with little change. When was the last time you saw a Rembrandt tested in sunlight, which is the criteria for modern pigments? A favoured colour of the Old Masters."
Great interview! Gorgeous work! Loved the concept of artist as master of craft, design and idea - that really resonates for me
This guy was a great teacher. I always enjoy hearing him explain art process. I was lucky enough to take classes on head painting and some drawing fundamentals in his studio. Good times.
He is the man! Thanks for your comment!
Joseph is the best! both artist and speaker/educator on art
Joseph Todorovitch is awesome! I love the tonal discussion. So informative!
Thank you so much! Lots more coming!
Was searching for Joseph and found this amazing channel! Thanks for the interview. And great to listen to Joseph he’s always inspiring me :)
44:24 I was talking about this subject with a painter the other day re: the classical form aesthtic which is underpinned by very accurate drawing especially seen in classical portraiture and figurative subjects, Bouguereau comes to mind for example, where the contour and modelling form is the main representational concept. Compare that with an approach where the representaion of the perception of light is foremost and form and contour is subordinate, which can seen in some of the so called 'impressionists' work like Monet (though Monet never liked that designation). Where artists like Corot, who is considered a tonalist fall in that specturm of representation is difficult to say. Cleary value is a higher priority than colour but the effect of light is also a major theme too, he seems to have a foot in both classical formalism and the impressionism of light.
I saw the name of the channel and I was like WTF?! "The UNRAPED ARTIST"?? hahaha nice name. Then i realized I misread it and was mildly disappointed.
