119. The Ancient art of Egg Tempera Painting with Artist and Author Dr. Ursula Betka
18/11/2024 | 57 mins.
Dr. Ursula Betka was one of my favourite lecturers and tutors during my 6 years at Melbourne University studying art history in the 1990’s. Her area of specialisation, in which she has a Ph.D, focused on Medieval and Renaissance sacred images. On 3rd December, Ursula’s beautiful new book, published by Hardie Grant, is coming out and I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy. Titled “Techniques of Painting and Gilding in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Italy. Egg Tempera and Gold Leaf on Wood Panel”, this sumptuously illustrated, hard back book is a detailed technical manual on the time-honoured painting tradition of egg tempera, used historically for sacred images of the Madonna and Child. Ursula works in a range of historical materials and methods such as egg tempera painting and gilding on wood, parchment and glass, exploring ways in which these traditions and techniques might convey profound beauty and resonate meaning today. Ursula integrates her practice with the teaching and writing of art history by examining the function and context of sacred art objects and the ways in which artistic creation expresses the yearnings of the soul. The enduring symbolic values associated with pigments and colours, exotic decorative fabrics and various landscape and architectural settings is also explored. Ursula’s book-launch coincides with an exhibition of works featured in the book. See the links below for details and where to buy Ursula's book.

117. Inside my Solo Exhibition at Art Gallery of Ballarat
09/4/2024 | 21 mins.
Hi friends and welcome to episode 117. It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat. It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril. I’ve created a full guided tour for you on my YouTube channel. I really hope you head on over there to check it out, because the audio for this episode makes a whole lot more sense when you can see the artwork. But nevertheless, I know that many of you prefer to listen rather than look while painting in the studio, so I wanted to make it available to you here on the podcast as well. I’ll be sure to leave the link to the video in the show notes so you can check that out too. This episode also includes an absolutely brilliant address given by my dear friend and fellow artist, Dr Louisann King. at the opening celebration held at the gallery on 8th March, which also happened to be International Women’s Day. It was so incredibly eloquent and brought so much depth and understanding about this body of work, that I really wanted to include it in full. I also just wanted to mention, that in May and June I’m teaching my first in-person 2 day painting workshops since before Covid. I’m running them with the beautiful crew at Artable in May and June. The workshop on the Gold Coast in June has sold out, which is wonderful. But there are still a few spots available at my Melbourne workshop on 4th and 5th of May.
