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."
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.
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.
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.
Joseph is the best! both artist and speaker/educator on art

Great interview! Gorgeous work! Loved the concept of artist as master of craft, design and idea - that really resonates for me

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.
