The Portrait Conversation is a portrait in words and paint. My goal as host, artist and conversationalist is to take everyone on a journey with the subject and get to know and understand them and their work at a deeper level than happens with casual conversation. It is an in-depth, inspirational long-form live interview show combined with a cool artistic twist. I paint my subject’s portrait while conversing with them. While the conversation unfolds I typically use my iPad using an Apple Pencil and the Procreate app to sketch them, sharing the process and progress of the portrait with the audience as it evolves. Please note this is not a class or tutorial and the focus is on my subject and their story, not on my art tools and technique. If you’re interested in learning digital painting, I have on-going education on my member website PaintboxTV.
The Portrait Conversation is a free live cast broadcast via a streaming Zoom webinar, starting at 10 am Pacific (1pm East Coast, 6pm UK). Each session normally lasts between 90 and 120 minutes and includes Q&A. All conversations are recorded and posted for you to enjoy watching asynchronously. You will only have to register once to attend any of The Portrait Conversations if you use the unique link that is emailed to you after you register.
