Richard Schmid

“You can’t paint the same river twice. Everything changes—light, shadow, color—and you change too.”

Lori Putnam

“Plein air painting is about being in the moment, absorbing the light, color, and mood of a scene with all your senses.”

Unknown

“Paint the light, not the thing.”

Charles Hawthorne

"What could be more wonderful than the life of a painter?"

Richard Schmid

“The sun doesn’t wait for you to get your colors mixed."

Sergei Bongart

“Plein air painting is the best training a painter can have. Nature won’t wait, so you learn to trust your instincts.”

Kevin Macpherson

“You come face to face with nature—not just as a viewer, but as a participant.”

Clyde Aspevig

“In the studio, I’m a thinker. In the field, I’m a feeler.”
