When painting outdoors, controlling lighting conditions is critical to achieving accurate color perception and rendering paintings that translate well when viewed indoors. Understanding how natural and artificial light interacts with your workspace and painting surface can greatly influence the final outcome. Below are comprehensive insights and techniques based on years of experience in plein air painting. 1. Qualities of an Effective Umbrella for Outdoor Painting The ideal umbrella used for outdoor painting must be opaque, preventing any light from bleeding through. The top half should be white to reflect sunlight and keep the artist cool during long outdoor sessions. The underside must be black and completely non-reflective to eliminate reflective and key light that can interfere with accurate color observation. Using an umbrella that allows light to pass or reflect will distort the lighting environment and complicate color matching. 2. The Problem with Transparent Umbrellas Transparent umbrellas permit excessive light penetration, creating an inconsistent and overly bright environment around the painting area. This excessive light causes glare and reflections on the palette and canvas, making it difficult to judge true colors and values. The uncontrolled light increases the brightness and washes out subtle color transitions, resulting in less accurate color representation during the painting process. 3. Impacts of Excessive Light Exposure on Paintings Viewed Indoors When painted under very bright light outdoors, the colors and luminosity in a painting can become misleading. Paintings created in these over-illuminated conditions often appear darker or poorly balanced when viewed under typical indoor lighting. This happens because the artist may adjust colors to compensate for the intense outdoor light, leading to undervalued color chroma and less vibrancy indoors. 4. Ideal Studio Lighting for Accurate Color Perception The best studio lighting environment features a relatively low light level, such as a 60-watt bulb controlled with an in-line dimmer switch. Less light in the studio environment encourages the artist to "push" the light and luminosity into the painting consciously. This controlled and dimmed lighting environment helps reveal true color relationships and avoids the deceptive brightness that causes color distortions. 5. Advantages of Painting Under Lower Light Conditions Paintings created under lower light conditions often appear more vibrant and luminous when viewed indoors because the artist uses higher chroma and contrast to compensate for reduced light levels. This practice results in richer, more glowing colors that maintain their intensity under a range of lighting conditions. Lower light training also enhances the artist's sensitivity to subtle tonal variations. 6. Misconceptions About Bright Studio Lighting Contrary to popular belief, bright lighting in a studio is detrimental to color accuracy. Excessive brightness leads artists to lower chroma values in their palette to counterbalance the intense illumination, which unintentionally causes the paintings to appear darker and more muted when seen under normal or dimmer lighting conditions. 7. How a 60-Watt or Lower Light Source Improves Color Perception Using a lower wattage light source improves color and luminosity perception by limiting excessive brightness that can blind the eye to subtle hues. It enables an artist to focus on tonal relationships carefully, producing paintings with a balanced color range and lively surface quality. Dimmer lighting conditions enhance the perception of glow and depth in a painting. 8.

This episode of CAA Conversations, featuring Lilia Cabrera, Gina Gwen, and Christen S. García, considers borderlands-informed art pedagogies as acts of classroom, community, and artist practice, in both formal and informal spaces of art education. These guests make productive liminal spaces of art education by harnessing cultural, navigational, familial, creative, and linguistic capital. Lilia Cabrera explores multiple environments with her art education students, offering experiences to work alongside hospital patients, asylum seekers in shelters, and resident doctors in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, hospitals. Her students work with communities with a range of age groups, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. She has taught art at various levels ranging from early childhood to university. She creates opportunities that align with the education of regional communities lacking in art experiences and has led art education students to create art workshops to delicate, low-economic, and multicultural youth in a border town. Cabrera is a lecturer for the art education program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and an Associate Dean for Student Succes for the College of Fine Arts. Gina Gwen Palacios creates work highlighting the underrepresented geographic and cultural narrative of the people and land of South Texas. Rooted in the theory of conocimiento, Palacios invites viewers to embrace a multiplicity of perspectives and honor the rich, marginalized knowledge and history embedded in the US/South Texas borderlands. She is an associate professor and the Director for the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley. Christen S. García theorizes through lived experiences, sharing autohistoria-teorías as creative capital in nepantla espacios. García is co-founder of the Nationwide Museum Mascot Project and is an associate professor in the Department of Art Education at Florida State University. García is co-author of Art Borderlands in Theory, Practice, and Teaching, with Leslie C. Sotomayor II (Routledge, 2025) and is co-editor of the book BIPOC Alliances: Building Community and Curricula (Information Age Publishing, 2023).

In 2018, 33-year-old Ryan Bode Moriarty died of a heroin overdose. He was a musician, artist and T-shirt designer. He created linoleum block carvings, and would print all his shirt designs by hand. After his death, Ryan's mother, Patricia Bode, found one of his linoleum blocks carved with the words "Remember Love." This discovery inspired the Remember Love Recovery Project and sent Bode on a mission to destigmatize addiction. It's a mission of vital urgency. After months of steady declines, overdose deaths in America are now on the rise. During National Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month, we hear from those working to destigmatize addiction and get harm reduction tools into the community. Has addiction impacted you or someone you love? We want to hear from you. GUESTS: Patricia Bode: Associate Professor and Coordinator of Art Education at Southern Connecticut State University. She is also the founder and president the Remember Love Recovery Project Justin Phillips: Chief Executive Officer of the Overdose Lifeline Dr. J Craig Allen: Medical Director at Rushford and Vice President of Addiction Services at Hartford Healthcare Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and mind of multidisciplinary artist and philosopher Monika Bravo — a woman whose journey spans continents, paradigms, and dimensions. From her early years in Colombia and Greece to three decades of public art installations around the world, Monika shares how her path of self-education, intuitive inquiry, and disillusionment with institutional systems led her toward synthesis — bridging art, philosophy, Austrian economics, and consciousness. We explore her experience surviving 9/11, her rejection of indoctrination in favor of true education, her awakening to Bitcoin as a state of consciousness, and her vision for a civilization grounded in value, truth, and individual sovereignty.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:36) Opening Conversation(04:58) Introducing Monika Bravo(11:08) Living in Greece(15:39) 9/11 Experience(23:24) Art Education(34:44) Bitcoin Awakening(44:54) Capitalism vs. Socialism(50:31) The Concept of Sacrifice(52:28) Bitcoin as a State of Consciousness(01:00:36) Art and Ideology(01:17:16) The Importance of Greek and Egyptian Wisdom(01:23:11) Confronting Identity and Belonging(01:27:35) Human Design and Personal Growth(01:29:10) Astrology and Self-Understanding(01:39:41) Reflections on Personal Journeys(01:43:12) The Role of Astrology in Relationships(01:46:28) Embracing Individuality and Potential(01:51:04) Closing ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.monikabravo.blog/ https://www.studioofendlessideas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/monikaco/ https://x.com/BravoMonika Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysWatch Joel's Presentation: “Myths to Awaken the Soul”Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our linksPhoto of Monika by Richard Carpenter

Jason's back, and this time we're going deeper. From his early classroom failures to his passionate critiques of the grading system, Jason Turner pulls back the curtain on what it really means to teach—not just art, but agency. We dig into how subjectivity can be a strength, why guiding questions trump easy answers, and how teachers can help students own their learning journeys without spoon-feeding them. Jason shares the philosophies that have shaped his unique classroom culture, where failure isn't just tolerated—it's part of the lesson plan. If you've ever wondered how to foster true critical thinking in kids, or what it looks like to hold space for students to grow at their own pace, this conversation hits home.

What separates artists who give up from those who thrive despite rejection? In this fourth installment exploring Jerry Saltz's "How to Be an Artist," Ty and Nathan tackle the emotional armor required to navigate the art world's toughest challenges.When a Pulitzer Prize-winning critic featured Nathan's early work as an example of what not to do, he was devastated. "I was mourning the loss of an art career that didn't even exist," he confesses. This vulnerable moment becomes a masterclass in transforming criticism into creative fuel—a skill every artist must develop.The conversation weaves through the phases of artistic development: wanting it, doing it, and living it. They explore how Instagram has weaponized envy, why self-imposed deadlines create surprising breakthroughs, and the myth of overnight success that derails so many promising careers. "Art gives up its secrets very slowly," they remind us, encouraging patience and persistence.Perhaps most powerful is their discussion of "radical vulnerability"—following your work into uncomfortable psychological territory that reveals your truest voice. As Ty shares stories of gallery disasters and damaged artwork, a portrait emerges of the resilience required to survive the inevitable setbacks of creative life.The episode concludes with Jerry's most memorable advice: after the demons of doubt have spoken, simply tell yourself "I'm a fucking genius" and get back to work.

In this episode, Tom and Peter discuss the different options open to creatives in terms of "getting qualified". With the rise of the internet over the past couple of decades, there has been an increase in the number of certificates, diplomas, courses, workshops and even degrees available - but what does each one entail, which ones are worth their salt and which ones do the art world actually care about?In the first half of the episode, Peter talks about his own experience of going to university to study a Fine Art degree; what this can entail, include, facilities available and what you come out with at the end.  They also discuss a one-year, foundation diploma, and share the experiences of colleagues and friends who have completed one of these.  In the second half of the episode, they discuss the myriad of less "formal" art courses, workshops and qualifications available - where these take place, how they might look and how you might choose the right one for you. This Podcast is sponsored by Rosemary & Co Brushes, Jackson's Art Supplies and Search Press publishers.For more information about our sponsors, please visit:Rosemary & Co Brushes: www.rosemaryandco.comJackson's Art supplies: www.jacksonsart.comSearch Press publishers: www.searchpress.comTom's website: tomshepherdart.comPeter's website: peterkeegan.comPodcast website: www.askanartistpodcast.com

Part 3. Diving deep into Jerry Saltz's "How to Be an Artist," we explore the transformative journey of learning to think like an artist. This episode unpacks the beautiful paradox that while art remains unchanged physically, it's never the same when we experience it – as Saltz writes, "an unchanging thing that is never the same." We discuss how becoming a "seeing machine" develops your artistic eye, examining artwork up close, questioning materials and processes, and truly noticing rather than merely looking.One of the most powerful concepts we explore is embracing artistic inconsistency. When Saltz writes, "Don't resist something if you're afraid it's taking you far afield from your usual direction. That's the wild animal in you feeding," he reminds us that creative evolution requires following our instincts even when they lead us into unfamiliar territory. This is how artists avoid becoming creatively caged – by allowing ourselves to experiment freely.The conversation takes a particularly meaningful turn when discussing courage as "a desperate gamble that will place you in the arms of creative angels." We examine how artists throughout history, from Alice Neel to Ellsworth Kelly, displayed remarkable bravery by pursuing their unique visions despite working against prevailing movements of their time. Their courage to follow their intuitive logic ultimately led to extraordinary contributions to art history.Perhaps most reassuringly, we break down Saltz's practical insight that an artist's career can be sustained by surprisingly few supporters – just one dedicated dealer, a handful of collectors, and a few critics or curators who understand the work. The challenge lies in putting yourself out there consistently, showing up at exhibitions, and actively participating in the art community.What will you discover about your own creative process by training yourself to see differently? How might embracing your artistic inconsistencies lead to unexpected breakthroughs? Join us as we continue our exploration of what it truly means to be an artist in today's world.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg
