An Illustrated Life Podcast 009 & 010:
Roz Stendahl
Many readers are probably familiar with Roz Stendahl and the incredibly useful advice she dispenses as a member of the EDM group. You may also remember that she gave me a special correspondence class in watercoloring a few years back that transformed my journal pages. On this special double episode of the podcast, Roz and I talk about all sorts of things drawing-related. We managed to blather on for a full two episodes worth of stuff and, frankly, could have gone on for hours more.
Part One can be found here.
Part Two is here.
I am very happy that Roz will be represented in my upcoming book, An Illustrated Life: drawing inspiration from the private sketchbooks of artists, illustrators and designers due out in October from HOW books ( though you can pre-order it today).
I am posting both installments of the interview today; they are perfect to listen to as you draw in your own journal.
Please stay tuned and consider subscribing via RSS or iTunes* to this weekly feature until the book comes out this Fall.
See all previous episodes on my podcast home page.
Next episode: Seamus Heffernan.

I could listen to Roz forever -- I downloaded part 2 without any problem, but part 1 came down truncated. Is it just me? I tried 3 times to download it.
I've pre-ordered your book -- really looking forward to it.

I listened to the first part of the podcast today while sketching during my daughter's naptime, and I can't wait to hear the second instalment! Roz is such an articulate and interesting woman. I was especially intrigued by the discussion of how she likes to get in close, rather than view things (landscape) from a distance: suddenly it made sense to me why I prefer still life, and making small studies from life, to any kind of landscape painting.
Danny, you have a lovely soft voice and accent. Occasionally I find it difficult to pick up parts of what you're saying, but that doesn't detract hugely from my enjoyment of the podcasts.
I will definitely be placing an order for the book!
