I had a great chat with San Francisco based artist Jacob Dhein. Jacob’s work balances on the edge of realism and abstraction. He paints beautiful figures and cityscapes, and he’s also a fan of plein air painting. We talked about rollerblading, distinguishing yourself as an artist, letting go of things that hold you back, Irish bars and a lot more . . .

Here are the main points of what we talk about:

• Painting with family,
• Early mentors,
• Sculpture,
• Planning workflow,
• Cityscapes,
• Figurative painting,
• Painting on board,
• Color palette,
• Plein air painting,
• Abstract painting,
• Working in bars,
• Portrait painting,
• Craftsmanship,
• Teaching,
• Art business,
• Social media,
• Most emotional picture to paint,
• Future projects,
• Current artists challenges,
• Learning,
