Another wonderful interview, thank you Jeff. I have seen some of Jamie’s paintings they really are so good and it was great hearing about his background and thoughts about portraiture. These interviews are really so helpful , I am absorbing so much. Happy painting 🎨
Jamie is one of the best portraitists on earth, glad to see him here. The discussion about keeping your reference and painting open ended was very interesting. It is almost like simulating the plethora of differences and situations you get exposed to in life painting, but using only video and photo materials. This could be a game changer, thank you Jamie and Jeff!
Get comfy. It's a long read. :D Absolutely loved the interview with this artist. I think that Jamie is amazing. Been following him for a while. Wish you would also discuss drawing as it relates to painting more. Not a criticism just a desire. Tips for the future: One? Definitely allow for discussions of your guests other interests. Like with Jamie, his acumen regarding anthropology and archeology provided such insights into the way we as artists and human beings see. How we conceptualize the Universe about us and interpret it. More of things like that as it informs how the artist sees the world and how it influences their painting. Tip Two? Allow for more discussion of processes. Like approaches to under-painting, how they do it. How they may use glazing or color mixing. What brushes they use to get a particular effect. Like when you discussed the painting of the arm with Jamie and the shift of hues from left to right. That kind of info and theorizing is pure gold. Ways to tackle things you've found difficult to paint in the past. Things that they struggle with. It so humanizes our common struggles. 3rd and last? More of a pet peeve. I know you need to do ads, I get it. Can you craft a more smooth way to transition from your interview into the ad and back again? The way you do it is so jarring to me. Lol! Like time a good pause for a second in your interview do a cross-dissolve and a gentle sound effect or two and the put in your ad. Do the reverse of the same for going back. I say this as presentation is everything and your podcasts are good. This can help to make them better...smoother. Anyway..my two cents and happy podcasting. Please get Jamie to come back and also nail down Jordan Sokol if you can and Juliette Aristides and more. Peace!
Love turning form and trying both brush strokes across and along the form. I know you both have tried many ways of doing so by what was said. Finding sky reflected in wet sand has been challenging in the same ways. Trial and error baby!
absolutely loved this podcast. I love when Jeff and his guests geek out about technique, approaches to composition and the problem seeking in building a painting. Jamie's background re anthropology was also fascinating. One passion inspiring the other. And the leap from one discipline to painting was fascinating. BTW hows that podcast coming with Micha on Mucha's Slav Epic? Just saw a big exhibition in Sydney Australia on Mucha and to see the range and quality of his work is staggering.
Hey Jeff, brilliant episode! Can i ask, how did you manage to contact Jamie? i would like to get in contact with him to ask him a bit more about his studies at the Florence academy. Thanks in advance. Jilmen T
There is a way to get a vertical stroke to change its value or color across, a technique used by the old tole painters, multiple loading a brush. One side being light, the other darker, and to blend them more, you brush back and forth on the pallette without flipping around the brush, then making your stroke.
Question- why when I paint on a big canvas, 40” and up I am free and loose, but when painting small I freeze up? Is it the loss of the kinesthetic movement?
My daughter was six months old and learned signs and I at first didn’t get it, until she tried to climb up on the dishwasher tucking her hand in the corner of her mouth, crying. Oh, duh, I had not realized it would be so general.
Another great interview. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this episode!

Congratulations to the whole family Jamie! Very best time of life!
This podcast is an amazing resource for anyone interested in painting!
Just recently found your channel. Now I am hooked.
Another new to me excellent artist - thank you! Love how he combines beautiful paint techniques with deep thought and symbolism
