In this episode we talked about how his past as an illustrator helped him in certain aspects when he decided to pursue representational painting, how the intention with which you paint determines the outcome, and the differences between painting for yourself and painting for the market. Finally we discuss his YouTube channel, the pros and cons of social media, his lovely paintings of Lucca, and the reality of being a painter or craftsperson in a time when everything is perpetually changing faster and faster because of the internet.
