FALL ISSUE NOW AVAILABLE!
Total running time nearly two hours Our Fall issue is comprised of seven different segments. Starting out, we travel Upstate New York to the Catskills and film the Hudson River Fellows. Grand Central Academy students take the summer as an opportunity to get out of the studio and immerse themselves in nature studying its infinite beauty. Thomas Kegler does a demonstration, and we talk to him about the course and what differentiates their approach from other landscape schools. Also in the first segment, we get a rare glimpse of Jacob Collins at work demonstrating how he paints a sunset. Then we head to the Midwest, where we see how impressionist painter Jeffrey T. Larson constructs a painting outdoors en plein air. Larson sets up an exremely difficult subject and shows us how he approaches a constantly changing light source. The next segment is another amazing opportunity to see one of the best realist artists working today, Christopher Pugliese. Pugliese is involved with teaching at the Teaching Studios in Brooklyn and we get to watch as he demonstrates his grisaille painting technique. We jump over to the West Coast and incorporate two different artists in the same segment: Joseph Todorovitch and producer/editor Jonathan Lipking (Jeremy Lipking's little brother). Joseph does a really nice portrait demonstration in this beautifully edited segment, which includes an interview by Jonathan. In the second half of the video magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur's editor Peter Trippi sat down with the new director of the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Art, Semyon Mikhailovsky. Next, we hear from Matthew Innis covering two different DVD's: Ignat Ignatov's Journey of An Artist and Anthony Waichulis' instructional DVD The Drawing Clinic, The First Steps. The next artist featured is Amaya Gurpide, Amaya is a realist painter from Spain and is our first female artist covered in APVM. She is a young and ambitious painter and incredible draftswoman. We finish the issue with the Hard Times panel disccussion at the Salmagundi Club in New York City. |
