Interview with Sketch Artist Todd Groesbeck

313 - Interview with Todd Groesbeck

This week John is talking with sketch artist Todd Groesbeck about his approach and lifelong obsession with drawing and sketching.

Todd earned his BFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and currently works with a branch of the military. Listen in as they discuss some of the unique experiences Todd has had in and continues to explore.

“Drawing is Thinking” is a mantra that really resonates with Todd and has for years. He’s not a writer but he does express his ideas through line and value.

Todd’s encouragement is to create challenges for yourself and to draw quickly. Don’t think of it as too precious.

He also says “if you only draw when you’re going to create some piece to show somebody, then you’re not really ever warmed up. It’s too stiff, and maybe the drawing becomes too polite.”

Interview with Susan Lyon

303 - Interview with Susan Lyon

This week John is talking with artist Susan Lyon. Her initial interest in art was sparked by a PBS television show on Georgia O'Keefe, that inspired her to take weekend art classes. 

She studied art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was an active participant in Chicago's Palette and Chisel Club. It is there she first began exhibiting and selling her work. 

Susan draws inspiration from painters of the Guilded age such as John Singer Sargent. 

Susan has a unique style of painting and uses contrasting values to create a greater sense of drama.  She says that a color photograph will lie to you. Listen to her explain how to simplify what you see.

290 - Color Matching and Failure



This week John Middick and Barb Sotiropoulos discuss an art project failure that John recently had. John talks about how and why to reach out for help.  

You are not alone if you’ve experienced failures in your art.  Most artists do make mistakes that you never see. Sometimes when all you see are the highlight reels shown on Facebook and Instagram you can walk away with the perception that all artists (except you) are perfect.

203 Interview With Maria Wilson

Show Notes

Sharpened Artist: Colored Pencil Podcast

Topic: Interview with Maria Wilson

Here is one of Maria’s recent pieces, “Dinah”. Photo reference credit: John Middick


Points of Interest:

In this episode John Middick interviews Maria Wilson, a student from his color pencil portrait course, "Face Value."

Maria shares her journey as an artist, which began in her childhood in Lompoc, California. Despite a promising start, her artistic pursuits were put on hold due to early marriage and family responsibilities. Rediscovering her passion for art in her late 50s, Maria was initially drawn back through adult coloring books. This reignited her desire to create original works, leading her to explore drawing and colored pencils more seriously.

Maria discusses her initial struggles with basic materials and her gradual progression to higher-quality pencils and papers. She credits her husband for his support and encouragement, which significantly influenced her artistic development.

John and Maria talk about the importance of mindset and dedication in art. They emphasize that art is a skill that can be honed with practice and persistence. Maria's experience illustrates this, as she transitioned from simple drawings to more complex and realistic works.

Maria's story is one of rediscovery and determination. It underscores the idea that with passion, support, and the right guidance, it's never too late to pursue one's artistic dreams.

Mentorship and instruction are important, as is fostering a community for artistic growth and sharing.
