“First you find the shade, then you find the painting” is terrific advice. Survival!! Plus, it’s hard for me to concentrate if I’m terribly annoyed by the great outdoors.

After watching all 121 RFASs I return to watch them again 😁 What are the two artist you mention besides Douglas Fryer?

Jared Noye

Rob’s town trains are lovely!

Sunflowers are ready!

Phil’s clouds are gorgeous!

That is a wonderful slope by Sarah Wilson!

We wear white long into Fall here in California. If it gets cold, we might wear darker heavier linen. Perhaps a parka in December, January.

Hello to you in your studio, Charlie!

Nice photos of Utah and the sites. Love the paintings you showed. Sounds like it was a great time. Thank you.

I am recalling when you took a rail trip with fellow painters like Aimee Erikson and one community was also being revitalized by a focus on art. Very interesting talk. Thank you.

Yes, I would be interested in the Alla Prima book.

I heard you loud and clear!

I love the way Charlie says dra-ring ❤!

Zephyr’s ‘golden light on trees’ has to be one of my all-time favorite paintings. Thank you.❤❤

I'm very late to this conversation, but thank you for bringing Shar to my attention. I feel like she has given artists permission to experiment and explore our interior (yet very organic, in my case) landscapes. This one meant a lot to me. Sometimes brushes and a single medium is too limiting. Vine charcoal with acrylic? Yes! Crinkled paper and sweet gum balls? Yes. Mind blown and now open.

Thanks so much. Great chat❤

Thank u from sweden, for sanity and insanity

Thank you both

I've never gotten so much out of a discussion on art and painting as I have here. By the way, I love your BettySoo shirt. I'm looking forward to seeing her again soon in Knoxville.

Excellent!!

Thanks Charlie. I'm working an oil figurative abstract of an homeless camp. I spotted the colors and shapes could make for a good abstract. The shapes of all the various tarps, tents and many unidentifiable items. Then trying to present a greater life feeling rather than the societal ugliness we no of homelessness. Your little abstract gesso studies has helped me keep my mind straight for what I'm after, what I'm trying to discover. The shapes and textures to create a lovely emotion. These are people that don't deserve to be betrayed in all their depressed ugliness. They are lives lived, no different than the indigenous that once made camps across our great land. This talk was very good for me. Thanks very much!

Fantastic video Charlie! Jim is a true artist!

Gotta run Charlie! Thanks and have a great evening!

This presentation is so informative and well presented. Thank you so much. I have a question that is so elementary to your knowledge level. What is the difference when a color is listed then the same color is listed as Hue.

Thanks Charlie, always great talks!

Beautiful work!

Two of my favorite artists having a wonderful time together. Thank you both.

This was marvelous. Thank you so very much! And, thank Jeff! ❤

I am so pleased to hear you are happy to just leave the "underpainting" as is. More than a few years ago I started some paintings and was thrilled with the underpainting (sepia effect) and ruined one when adding colour. I then began to do a series of just sepia paintings and they all worked out fine. Some I did on gessoed paper and used the oil a bit like watercolour. Now, when I start a painting like that, it gets suggested that I need to get over it and be more brave and just add the colour. Trouble is, I feel they are finished as they are. Consequently, I am trying to develop a different way of starting each painting, using all the colours from the start. Perhaps, I was doing OK with just the sepias.....? Thank you for enlightening me. I don't watch you often enough and will endeavour to do so more in the future. You are a gem!

Love your work Charlie...so inspiring!!

Hello Charlie Hunter, Great Show so far! The only thing that distracted me while listening to your Voice was a kind of wispering Sound in the/your background… how about nice soft music or nature (ein plein air) Sounds instead in the background? Appreciate! Thank you very much!!!

Jim, you are now my favorite photographer. Your forms and color are what I’m drawn to even if it’s not how I paint. Bravo!

I asked the Humane Society for a cat that no one wanted. The lady pointed and said " kona in the corner" the big black cat had been there for over 100 days. I took him home. For the first week he bit me so many times it looked like I un spooled barb wire for a living. When it wasn't biting me, it lived inside my lazy boy.. During the second week his attitude turned around, I always joked that he developed "Stockholm Syndrome" now he's one of the most loyal loving cat's I have ever had. Thank you for reading the story, it reminds me of my cat

Thank you inspiring! Much love !

❤

What kind of brushes do we use with water mixable oil paints…can I use the artificial brushes I use for gouache?

I could listen to and watch this over and over. I hope to take a workshop with her at Edisto Island in 2025!

I stood at the top of the oldest inhabited village in New Mexico with Bob Boyer as a young art student in 1998 when he said: "when I accepted that there is nothing new under the sun, I decided I could just paint whatever I wanted and stop thinking about it. Let's walk down, I'll buy you a coke." It was a good day, and had a feel to like cutting a leash.

Love love you and your work! I wrote this after the gospel people painting!

Thank you, Charlie. Enjoy your time away.

Another exceptional reading

Hey 👋 Beth! While I was involved with PACE24, my wife met you there somewhere, and as soon as I turned on CZcams and Charlie for a squeegee lesson, the wife called out “Hey, that’s Beth from Lancaster!” So, you made a big impression. I’ve watched the whole episode here, and enjoyed hearing your story- I experimented with a squeegee at PACE24 and surprisingly it went well. I also use water mixable oils, so this was a great interview all around!! Thank you both!🎨❤️🎉

I used to read Thurber's writings whenever I was really depressed, and it always helped. I really enjoyed hearing this one again! Have you done "The Night the Bed Fell" yet? That's one of my favorites. Many thanks.

So happy to hear this interview- two beyond masters talking shop- such a privilege! Thank you for another great share. ❤

Scott is a great artist with top ability and also a very fun personality to paint with and learn from his workshops.

This was great! Just love her paintings! Thank you. Have a great time on the road! ❤

This exceeded ‘reasonably fine’! Amazing artist Beth is- thank you for sharing her talent with us!
