Loved seeing Michael do an interview with you. He was my teacher along with Dan Thompson and I learned so much from both of them. It’s great to finally hear Michael talk again. When I was in his class at the art students league, he did a demo that was a weeklong and none of us wanted to paint we just wanted to watch him. An incredible artist and teacher. Great interview Jeff ❤

Great interview, love Michael's thoughts, work philosophy and ethic, and of course his work.

Great stuff here love his and Maya’s art. Jeff on the sketchbook issues. It was really hard to keeps a sketchbook for me for years as my expectations of the quality was messed up. Each piece had to be me going all out. Which defeats the purpose of the sketchbook. So what work for me is a bought some copy paper and a clipboard and just had that with me all the time to sketch with. There was nothing precious about the clipboard so I could sketch all the time and most would just get thrown away. No big deal. Totally changed how much I was sketching by a lot.

I appreciate that. I actually did the same thing. It’s been helping a lot. thanks!

I love hearing Michael talk. I learned so much from him and Dan Thompson attending their courses at The Art Student’s League. They were truly in a league of their own when it comes to instruction. I think every single artist could stand to learn a thing or two from them. As amazing as their art is, their instruction is truly on another level.

@NanciFranceVaz_artist I was there off and on during the summers around 2011-2015. Back when they were still running Janus.

@@OMGKITTENMEWMEW1 was with him at ASL before Janus and when he first started. I moved out of the city so I didn’t go to Janus

I too enjoyed this discussion. Interestingly enough, I was painting color charts while I was drinking in the beautiful black and white pieces of Michael. I now will be requesting a stack of blank sketch books for Christmas…..

[@shelahhorvitz3838]

I really appreciated Michael's notions about windowshading vs asserting the composition because I have had the same experience. Also fascinating hearing how free he is in mixing media you would think would repel or not work together.

[@svenfigenschou7345]

So many good points here :) Thanks

PAFA closed down their degree programs but they were relatively recent (late 70s their MFA program began)

[@hlnmarie]

Its certificate programs remain. Those are what the school was forever; that's what it was when Bartlett was there, pretty sure, cause I was there the same time.

Jeff I saw that video of that guy critiquing you brutally about maybe a month ago, almost reached out to you to see if you saw it but didnt want to stir the pot. That guy was so weirdly angry right? I had the thought. Invite him on. What an interesting podcast that would be. Maybe just a short 30 minute one. Figure out why he has such a negative reaction. I also had the thought, you really have made it when someone critiques you in that way. Artists use to have to deal with the press brutally critquing them in the early 20th and 19th century. How fun would it be to see you confront someone in a kind way on a podcast

[@jshpaint]

Someone beat you too it and told me about it. I actually found the video funny. Not kidding. I literally laughed out loud at least once. He claimed my art wasn’t legit because it’s all “just copies of photos” but every painting of mine that I saw him pull up as evidence of his claim was done from life. LOL! He’s a self described genius though so I should probably take the video(s) more seriously. 😂

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

@@jshpaint you know i initially left a commen t about how hilariously off base he was and that you painted from life for years, i wonder if he deleted the comment. Cant tell if that guy is satire or serious because of how much of a lunatic he comes across as in the videos he has up. I sadly think he's being serious
