EPISODE 12 SHOW NOTES:
Date: 14/04/19
Summary of Topics of the show covered: Catching a chatter with Visual Artist and Art Tutor Nelson Ferreira
Fine Artist and Educator Nelson Ferreira has a keen interest in painting traditions from other cultures and times, having specialised in old European master’s techniques (Flemish oil painting and Baroque oil techniques) and has travelled parts of the world to take courses in Russian and Greek iconography, Turkish Marbling (Ebru), Indian miniature (Mughal style) and Chinese painting.
Since 2005 he has taught painting classes in London for numerous illustrious corporations and specialises in portraiture, having exhibited in the UK, Canada and Portugal.
His style has been influenced by the dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and Zurbarán also loving the fine details of Dürer, the expressive line of Ingre’s graphite drawings, the sculptural paintings of Théodore Géricault and Solomon J. Solomon, the flesh tones of Bouguereau, the play of light of Ivan Aivazovsky, the intimacy in Mary Cassatt’s pastels of mother and child; also the colour of Sorolla, the expressiveness of Nicolai Fechin, Winslow Homer and Isaac Levitan as well as the brush strokes of John Singer Sargent and Anders Zorn.
‘Crisis shall come and we must be ready for them, every creative person has moments of doubt…. when that doubt comes see it as a potential breakthrough for you to push yourself in order to develop and become better’
Nelson Ferreira

Black Mirror / Claude glass
This is a small mirror, slightly convex in shape, with its surface tinted a dark colour. Bound up like a pocket-book or in a carrying case, Claude glasses were used by artists, travelers and connoisseurs of landscape and landscape painting. Claude glasses have the effect of abstracting the subject reflected in them from its surroundings, reducing and simplifying the colour and tonal range of scenes and scenery to give them a painterly quality. They were famously used by picturesque artists in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a frame for drawing sketches of picturesque landscapes.[1] The user would turn their back on the scene to observe the framed view through the tinted mirror—in a sort of pre-photographic lens—which added the picturesque aesthetic of a subtle gradation of tones.

EPISODE 4 SHOW NOTES:
Date: 17/02/19
Summary of Topics of the show covered: All about lips
Did you know that the junction where mouth’s surrounding skin meets the lips is known as Vermilion Border? The Vermilion Border of the upper lip goes by a separate name, which is known as Cupid’s bow.
Tool of the week: MUJI Aluminium Polyester Lip brush S
LIP BRUSH (SMALL ITEM) The brush is made of plant-derived polyester fibre which is not prone to curl and gives soft touch to the skin. It is supple and can be used to blend on the lips evenly. It can be stored easily and conveniently.
Is it Vegan?: Aloe Leaf natural lip remedy –
- Cut the aloe leaf sideways and scoop out the gel into a container (with an airtight lid).
- Apply the gel on your lips and leave it on overnight.
- Store the remaining gel in the airtight container. Keep this in the fridge if you live in a hot and temperate climate.
Aloe contains natural ingredients that soothe the chapped skin and gently remove the dead layer of skin cells. It helps to strengthen the thin protective layer of skin on the lips and also provides a cooling effect
Experience cards: Lip symmetry and the 25% technical approach
Kit Hero: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – Berry Mix Complex [Also available in Grapefruit, Apple and Vanilla options] Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask helps dissolve dead skin cells while you slumber, making it look younger and plumper. Berry Mix Complex with Vitamin C and antioxidant-packed berry ingredients make lips firmer, while hyaluronic acid helps in moisture absorption overnight.
Get Naked: To find a great nude lipstick shade look at your fleshy fingertip tone and match a lipstick to that colouring as it will be a mixture of your bespoke skin tone, pigmentation or visible blood supply – also a great place to test a new lipstick out in a shop as it will best replicate how the lipstick will look on your actual lips if you are already wearing a lip shade and unable to test.
