Pricing a canvas when nobody taught you how

A painter in Mexico City who sells directly from her studio and a gallerist in Madrid explain how paintings are actually priced, by size, by history and by nerve.

Underpainting, and why your greens look dead

Inés and a Lisbon landscape painter talk through underpainting, why mixing green from the tube kills a painting, and the warm ground that changed both of their work.

About the show

Wet Paint, Open Window is a fortnightly show about painting, recorded in studios that smell of turpentine. Inés Garrido paints large oil landscapes in Valencia and spent six years teaching colour theory before leaving to paint full time, and she talks to painters the way painters talk to each other: about underpainting, about the green that always looks dead, about the gallery that took 60 percent, about the canvas that sat facing the wall for a year. Each 40 minute episode is a conversation with one painter, from a Lisbon muralist to a Lahore miniaturist to a retired teacher who started at 61, with the microphone set up next to the easel. The show is for working painters, for serious amateurs, and for anyone who looks at a painting and wants to know how it was made. No art world gossip, no theory for its own sake, just craft, money and the daily problem of the blank surface.
