They not only saw how the oil paint was made but they also got a preview of Michael\u2019s new watercolour range and new coloured acrylic primers, all soon to be released. Once they finished exploring the colour mill, they sat down with Michael to find out more about his journey from artist to paint maker and explore his views on all things painting.  <\/p>\n<h2>In this episode\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>1. <strong>Follow your curiosity<\/strong>: Michael\u2019s journey started out with a curiosity and fascination to how colour appeared in the old masters works. This curiosity led him to see if he could make his own paints from scratch and thus his journey as a colour maker began.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Pushing the barriers and trying something new<\/strong>: Michael is never complacent and always looking to develop his existing range of colours and strives for something that he is truly happy with (and confident that artists will love too!). His tireless enthusiasm for colour has led him to develop a range of watercolour paints and new coloured acrylic primers. The constant critique and enthusiasm Michael has for his materials is one of his main successes for the development of his high quality paints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3 <strong>Knowledge is Power<\/strong>: Having a deeper understanding and knowledge of paint will allow you a greater freedom of painting. Structuring a painting in a certain way will give it longevity and better foundation for the strength of colours. Michael recommends reading books that go into detail about the technical aspect of painting, famously found in&nbsp;Ralph&nbsp;Mayer\u2019s <em>\u2018The Artists Handbook of Materials and Techniques\u2019<\/em>. There is also much more information on using oils and colours&nbsp;found on Michaels website&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelharding.co.uk\/\">https:\/\/www.michaelharding.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>The products sell themselves:<\/strong> Michaels relationships with artists is one of the key successful strands to his business. Word of mouth is one of the best forms of marketing and by working directly with artists and painters, they share and encourage others to use his paints. Michael and his team of painter ambassadors (of which Peter is one of them) feel part of an artistic community where they can freely share knowledge, passion and feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Advice for buying paint:<\/strong> know what you\u2019re looking for: Reading paint labels will provide you with accurate information on a colour\u2019s ingredients and specific properties. Michael\u2019s paint very helpfully has a painted strip on the front of it allowing artists to see exactly how it will look. Michael also promotes instinct and excitement when choosing colours. By choosing colours you instantly relate to, you\u2019ll likely get excited by it when using them in the studio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Be safe<\/strong>: Oil paint isn\u2019t dangerous, assuming you use it correctly. Working in a ventilated space, keeping solvents away from food and drink and not putting the tip of that paintbrush in your mouth&nbsp;are all simple common sense practices all artists need to be doing when using oil paints. Oil paints don\u2019t always need mediums or harmful solvents for them to work. The very nature of the oily paint can give artists many painterly techniques without the need of mediums. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Take Aways\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Michael Harding website is full of information on how to use oil paint effectively and safely as well as having a gallery of artists across the world who paint with Michael\u2019s beautiful colours. Have a question about paint that isn\u2019t answered on there? Give Michael an email safe in the knowledge that he\u2019ll know exactly what to do!<\/p>\n<p>Michael Harding\u2019s website&nbsp;&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelharding.co.uk\/\">https:\/\/www.michaelharding.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vicki Norman\u2019s work and YouTube videos&nbsp;&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vickinormanstudio.com\/blog\">https:\/\/www.vickinormanstudio.com\/blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Howard Hodgkin\u2019s&nbsp;work &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/howard-hodgkin.com\/\">https:\/\/howard-hodgkin.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rupert Alexander\u2019s work &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rupertalexander.com\/\">http:\/\/www.rupertalexander.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Book &#8211; <em>\u2018The Artists Handbook of Materials and Techniques\u2019<\/em> by Ralph Mayer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharing his knowledge and passion for paint and colour!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":1583701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[15330],"tags":[52,1524,15355,1996,108,112,113],"class_list":["post-1583702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview","tag-colour","tag-interview","tag-manufacturer","tag-michael-harding","tag-oil","tag-paint","tag-painting"],"acf":{"podcast_episode":"Season 1, Episode 21 \u00b7 59 min","podcast_player":"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/679895\/episodes\/2764036?client_source=small_player&iframe=true","podcast_credit":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
