In this guest episode, I sit down with Julia Collins, a London-based art advisor and dealer behind Collins & Green, to talk about how to actually look at a painting — no art history degree required.

Julia has a real academic art background, and by her own admission, it's “in many ways irrelevant” to how she looks at a painting. The pieces she loves best aren't always the most technically accomplished — they're the ones that catch her somewhere specific: a color balance, a blank face, a detail she can't quite explain. That's the whole method, and it's one anyone can use.

Subscribe to hear us walk through 10 paintings as Julia dissects each one.
