Today I'm joined by Irish artist Kit French for a conversation about his life, his work, and his philosophy on painting.
Kit talks about his background and his time spent studying in Italy, explaining how those experiences influenced his approach to art. We discuss his commitment to painting from life, his thoughts on why he avoids a fixed "style" in favour of being honest with his subjects, how portraiture is a conversation, and his process for capturing landscapes and portraits.
It's a really grounded look at what it means to be a working artist and how to stay true to your own intuition. Kit's take on how to work with honesty and integrity is one that is both inspiring and practical.
A huge thank you to Kit for taking part with this video and having a large hand in its creation.
