Philippe I could not have said it better. Albert is a national fine art treasury as far as I am concerned. As he said he was the first one to make outdoor pastel painting popular. Thank you so much for the great comment.
Diane thank for viewing it. Has so much knowledge to share. It was really fun filming him. Not sure you know but he is offering a Online self study course at our Tucson Art Academy Online. Hope you check it out
Albert is so genuine and his natural approach is so refreshing. I love his ease at describing his life and his art. There is an honesty in his work too. He is a brilliant draughtsman and colorist. I would like to see more of it. What a treasure. I met him recently in Santa Fe and hope to get him to speak at our gallery in Frederick.
+Jeanean Martin Thank you Jeanean for watching the video. He is really a gem. It was great to do the interview since he has so much experience. Glad you got to meet him.
What a breath of fresh air. The individual process to art instead of conforming to what everyone says is the way you should go. Maybe that came from being "overprotective" as a child. ( not a bad thing)
Loved this video. I took a workshop from him and he seemed arrogant and impatient but to see this was so wonderful and insightful! He is a person who knows himself well. I watched him paint a painting for over an hour in 100 degree weather right in the sun. Was very interesting.
He is honest and hard working. Not many artist at his age still go out there and share knowledge. Glad that you got watch him create. Thanks for watching the video
The wisdom of a true Master... Ok kids, drop your Ipods, your playstations, joysticks etc. and listen to this man, he is one of the lasts, the epiphany of humbleness... Remember this when you will be his age, what will you talk about when you have been asked about your youth experiences? will you really discuss how good you were at killing robots with joysticks on a plasma screen?
Thank you for you comment. As you know there are laws and rules in art. Rules can be broken but not laws. There are many way of approaching a painting and I agree that we all should have our own unique ways as long as those laws are not being broken.
very inspiring to hear him talk about how he faced dilema's specifically with- "you should work with a big brush" and "opaquely"... I feel the same way I don't like to work with big brushes and I like transparent paint as well, so many of the so called "plein air" movement painters get caught up in these generalities and are almost unaware that by teaching these unspoken rules they are standardizing out door painting, its sad, we should applaud unique working methods
What a great interview of a talented man. I could listen to his insight and experiences for hours.
Thank you Miche. Albert was a pleasure to interview. I will be releasing other interviews in 2014.
Here’s a man that is happy in his own skin. It takes courage to listen to your own mind for guidance.
Indeed. Glad you enjoyed it
Wow i didn't know if I could sit through 30 minutes, now I wish this interview went on for hours. I love this man!
He is a gem. I had fun filming him
You should interview Albert again. He is still going strong as a painter and teacher.
I will try to do that. He has lots of enerygy indeed
