Keep reading for a quick introduction to Max!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your first memory of painting. What was the experience like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child, I was actually not into painting. I was always drawing, but usually just in black and white pencil, sometimes even just in pen. I never used colors. I did some very rare colored pencil drawings and a few school paintings, which I made more reluctantly. My first proper painting class, and when I first started to get into color drawings and painting, was in college. That’s when I truly discovered painting and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you learn painting over the years? Who (or what) inspired you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was a late bloomer and discovered painting in college. Luckily, I took a color theory class to learn about colors. I had an amazing painting teacher that was my inspiration to get into painting. After I finished all my college classes, I continued to teach myself painting. I watched Youtube videos to continue to learn more aspects of painting. But I still learn new things as I teach, sometimes even from my students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What aspect of painting do you love to teach the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, despite my childhood aversion to colors, my favorite part to teach is colors, mixing colors, and color theory. There’s a lot of key elements to creating a painting, but I think colors is a crucial one, and the one that is very vast, intricate, and my favorite one to teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What songs are on your go-to playlist when painting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important for me to have music when I paint. The music I chose can range from popular songs at the time, to old classics. I have a very vast playlist of over 6,000 songs, so it can really vary. But one thing I started to listen to in more recent years are podcasts and soundtracks, while I paint. The nice thing about listening to soundtracks and movie scores is that they plunge you back into a storyline of a movie you saw, and at the same time, they are long enough that you have over an hour of non-stop music and don’t have to switch to a new song every 4 minutes. The painting process can be long, and it’s nice to be uninterrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which drink is your favorite painting companion?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a little more on the sober side when I paint, despite what it shows on my Instagram<\/a>. I stick to water and sparkling water. But if I need to go for a long session, I’ll get myself some Schweppes or Canada Dry Bitter Lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What subject could you paint over and over and still be excited about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My three favorite subjects are horses, skeletons, and the human figure. But if I had to choose only one, it’s the human figure. You can tell so many stories about the human condition with just figures and poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
