Painting on Location Podcast
Join Martin Beauchamp as he packs his easel and heads outdoors. Painting on Location Podcast is an audio companion for artists and art lovers alike, born from Martin’s own practice as a dedicated Plein air painter. You’ll hear the sounds of the field and the studio as Martin works primarily with oils, gouache, and watercolor, often employing the distinctive techniques of palette knife painting he’s known for. Each episode is built around the real adventures and challenges of creating art on site, from battling changing light to capturing a fleeting atmosphere. Martin translates these experiences into practical insights, offering tangible tips and strategies for improving your own work. The conversation goes beyond technique, however, to explore the underlying ideas and philosophies that guide a sustainable artistic practice. This podcast serves as a thoughtful resource for using outdoor studies to develop stronger studio paintings, sharing the methods and mental frameworks that have proven effective in Martin’s own career. It’s about the entire process-the muddy boots, the mixed colors, and the quiet moments of observation-all woven into a narrative that aims to deepen your understanding of what it means to paint from life.
