Painter Alonsa Guevara on learning to paint after art school, color temperature, and her new oil painting course, Alive Nature. Listen on the Create! Podcast.

Studio artist Robyn Palescandolo (signed R Palesca) finds the extraordinary in everyday objects, painting with a quiet intensity rooted in minimalism and classical technique. In this interview, she reflects on her years running a painting retreat in rural Italy, the tension between precision and spontaneity in her work, and what draws her back to figurative painting next.

Artist and educator Todd M. Casey shares insights on realism, mentorship, art education, and how to build a meaningful and sustainable painting practice.
