Colin Bradley Art Cast

In this podcast we discuss how trial and error play a big part in learning how many colours and which colours to use in your own pictures. Seeing what works with the paper your using is all part of learning the medium.

We also discuss what to do if you're a left handed artist and how to fill the tooth of the ingres paper that we love so much.

In this episode discuss Colin's Scotney Castle picture and how parts of that picture will help you into the world of impressionism.

We also congratulate one of our students Mary on her demonstration and discuss using Polychromos for White Hair.

Colin mentions how he would double mount and not fix his artwork and the many options to push your artwork away from the glass.

We discuss dark animal eyes and whether you should guess where the light is coming from.

Lastly we talk about the size of board you should tape your paper too, leaving a gap around the outside.
