Honest Conversations with Contemporary Giants.

Gently Does It is the greatest source for interviews of contemporary painters. John’s conversational approach and listener-generated questions make for spectacularly down to earth conversations on the technique, concept, and business of painting in the 21st century. Whether by design or intention, Gently Does It will serve as a historical record of this moment in art history.

Primarily Figure Painters

Biased towards figure painters. John does great interviews, but he generally doesn’t look beyond figure painters.

The best of them to be honest

So many art podcasts I try to listen to because an artist I follow and aspire to live up to just don’t hit the mark. They talk in circles about nothing; I don’t even know where the conversation begins and one what premise or if questions have even been asked. Plus, the artists in all their conceptual being and practice start talking in hard to follow nuance. It’s just not intriguing as a young artist.

John Dalton does not do the above. He hits the mark and even hits other nuances. I feel like I actually learn an artist’s journey in about as much depth as possible without actually knowing them. This podcast is for getting some of the blueprint and tips and tricks and really how an artist undergoes their practice. We get to hear how they got into art, how they went through school, and how they emerged since. Really, I write this because I am listening to another art podcast and I do not know what the artist is even talking about, but I am not intrigued. Some of John’s episode with my favorites, I would listen to again and listen to artist I don’t even know or admire. Thank you for being one of the bunch that gets to the point. :)
