Help Me Keep the Podcast Alive and Even Make it Better!
I pay the bills with painting sales and through mentoring my Hein Atelier students. This means that I can't do this podcast forever unless I can hand the work load over to someone else. Reaching my total pledge goal will make it possible for me to hire an editor/manager. This will not only allow me to reclaim my much needed painting and teaching time but it will also help me to improve the podcast's overall production value. With an editor/manager, I can add more features, such as image and text overlays referencing artists, or paintings, that my guests mention. I can also add links in the show notes to important topics discussed. For those who don't have time to watch entire episodes, I'll be able to post shorts and reels of conversation highlights to our youtube and social media channels. Perhaps best of all, your donations will also allow me to consider your suggestions on how to improve the podcast. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to ensuring that this enriching source or knowledge, information, inspiration and entertainment will be here week after week and year after year.
As a thank you gift, I am offering an "Undraped Artist" branded painters apron to each patron who's reaches $100 in total donations. Just send an email to me at - TheUndrapedArtist@gmail.com to claim your gift.

Where Professional Artists Bare All
What I would have done to have had the chance to pick the brain of just one of the world's greatest painters when I was learning to paint and trying to navigate the mysterious and intimidating world of art. Well, it's never too late. On this podcast brains are everywhere and you can hear (and watch) me pick them all. Don't miss an episode of inspirational, informative and and entertaining conversation with me, Jeff Hein, and the world's best.

NICHOLAS O’LEARY UNDRAPED (VIDEO)

Nicholas O’Leary (1986) was born and raised in Gisborne, New Zealand and has been painting since childhood and exhibiting since his teenage years.
After graduating from the University of Auckland with a degree in Architecture in 2009, he moved as far away as one can from the sunny paradise of Gisborne, to Bergen, Norway. He still resides in Bergen where he can be found hiking in the spectacular mountains, amoungst the fjords or along the rugged coastline with his easel strapped to his backpack in often challenging conditions.
He has studied with and painted alongside many artists along his journey, most notably with Odd Nerdrum in Norway.
O’Leary works largely from life whereby the observation of previously unnoticed subtleties are prioritised. The recognition of these subtleties allows O’Leary to bend physical rules in his paintings and challenge our perceptions of truth and deception, reality and fantasy.
The accumulation and manipulation of observations is not limited by a specific subject matter. He paints across the board, and has won international prizes in portraiture, figurative paintings, larger imaginative compositions, landscapes, cityscapes, and still lives.

SCOTT BURDICK UNDRAPED (VIDEO)
Nov 6, 2023
Nov 6, 2023
2hr 12 min
WEBSITE: https://www.scottburdick.com/viewcollection/112292
INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/scott_burdick_fine_art/
Scott was born in Chicago, where his mother and father early on encouraged his interest in Art. "I spent a lot of time in hospitals as a child and remember my mother showing me how to transform simple shapes like circles, triangles, and squares into objects like planes, helicopters, and fish. It seemed such a magical thing and made spending so much time in casts and on crutches much more bearable."
In high school, Scott began taking life-drawing classes at the American Academy of Art under the legendary Bill Parks. "Though I'd always loved drawing, it was Mr. Parks who filled me with the enthusiasm and discipline necessary to improve my skills. His love of painting and creative expression infected us all." After finishing the Academy, Scott continued his study at the Palette and Chisel Art club, where he met his wife, painter Susan Lyon. "It's a wonderful thing being able to paint together all the time and grow as artists together," Scott says.
His ideas for paintings come from everywhere. "What makes a subject attractive to me are the same things that attract us all. The beauty of a young girl, the character of a weathered face, the solitude of a farm at sunset, or even the story itself behind someone or something that makes it interesting." Scott believes it is the job of the artist to recognize this when it happens, analyze why, and use his technical skills to convey the feeling to someone else. He notes that some paintings are as simple as stopping at the sight of something interesting, while others may take more time to research than to actually paint.
Today, Scott and Susan live in a rural area of North Carolina..
"I see painting as both a way of exploring the world and then as the vehicle of sharing those discoveries with others. I travel to find subjects to paint as much as paint so I can travel and expand my horizons. Through this unique language, one can say things that are impossible with words."
