James created the illustrated book series Dinotopia, wrote Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter, writes a daily blog on Gurney Journey and is a skilled artist and teacher, among many other things. Have I mentioned I loove nickel azo yellow (PY150)? Once or twice? I’m thrilled when other artists come to me for advice on supplies.I am pleased to have James Gurney share some of his thoughts on art, business and learning. When I find material I really like, I’m excited to share them with the world. In the end, though, practicing is what makes me improve as an artist. Experimenting with new materials is a fun way practice.

I go into detail about the paints in my palettes and other materials I’ve tried. On this blog, I love to post reviews and comparisons of art materials. Every time we buy some art supplies to be like another artist, we’ll look over our work and say “Nope. Then we went out to do some plein air painting. Who am I kidding, we’re still doing that… We’ve been inspired to buy all sorts of art supplies – he bought a huge collection of casein paints, and I bought flat paintbrushes and a bijou box so I could have an ultra-portable sketch kit. One of my best friends and I went through a phase where we both watched a lot of James Gurney videos. However, no materials have ever made me paint like anyone but myself. Sometimes I love the new materials and sometimes I hate them. It feels like if only I had this unusual pigment/special pencil, I would be able to paint just like my idol.

When I see an artist I admire using a new material, I get an overwhelming urge to run out and buy the same thing so I can be just like them. I love glimpsing into other artists palettes and art supplies.
