Ben Valentine

What does it mean to learn the old master's tradition on your own and find a path that is truly yours? In this episode, I'm joined by artist and teacher Ben Valentine for a wide-ranging conversation about Rembrandt, painting techniques, self-guided learning, aka bathtub gin artists, and making art for the joy of it.

We get into the value of experimentation, working from life versus photos, and finding your people along the way.

Let's get into it.
