I got a chance to have Bill Scott in my studio during grad school and was really inspired by his perspective on observational painting. It makes it even more exciting knowing that a painter that I respect as much as Stuart holds Bill in such high regards as well. Great interview! Thanks, Dustin O’Hara

[…] I just finished reading a great interview with the painter, Stuart Shils. I first saw his paintings when I was in school in NY. He had a show of paintings of Ireland at the Tibor deNagy Gallery, and it blew me away. In the years since then I have always been happy to stumble onto his work online or in a gallery. Check out his whole interview here. […]

Thanks very much for doing this interview. Shils has always been one of my favorite painters, and this was wonderful to read and see. I particularly appreciate seeing his sketches, which are amazing.

Absolutely outstanding!
This should be required reading for every art student and I would go s far as saying that every working artist would benefit from reading this often. So full of experience and intelligence! The paintings and drawings are truly beautiful as well.
Thanks for taking the time with this Larry and Stuart.

Terrific interview! Questions and answers all so thoughtful, original, articulate, and helpful. I’d like to take a class in California in spring or early summer.

Awesome interview, Larry! I ended up doing his workshop in Philly and had a great experience. He is an incredible artist and instructor, as well as a great person. A lot of what was touched on in the interview was discussed in the class as well. Nice to have this wonderful resource to read over and really digest. My seed is taking root!
