It’s stunning and amazing to see the intensity of the entire process these great masters worked through. Do you have any idea for instance, how long the Socrates painting took David to bring to conclusion? Curious if there was a means to erase them or just constantly adding line then taking out on the next drawing attempt? Masters takes on a whole new level of appreciation when seeing this kind of process… txz so much , Jeanne

I don’t know how long it took him to complete. I do know he roughed in shapes lightly with graphite or charcoal then went over it with ink. Probably a lot of starts. Those guys did a lot more drawing than we do.

Socrates was drinking the poison because he had been a radical «corrupting» the youth of athens with new ideas and undermining sophists and people of power by critically investigating their motives and knowledge. He was sentenced to death by poison by athens and drank it willingly after teaching his students why he believed the soul is immortal. The story was written down by plato, who basically only wrote in dialogues between socrates and others in a drama-like format. It’s a good read, actually, and plato is a great intro to basic philosophical problems :) Anyways, thanks for great tips. Your paintings are wonderfully atmospheric, like one can almost feel the air in them. They feel alive, and I’m not yet sure how you do it. I admire it a lot.

What size of panel do you usually use for a color study?

[@philstarke.artist]

For color studies, I will use as small as a 3 x 5 up to 8 x 10
