Larry Moore on Creativity and Artistic Growth

In this episode of the Plein Air Podcast, Eric Rhoads interviews Richard Sneary, who began painting as an artist primarily en plein air in 2011 after 40 years as an architectural illustrator and architect. Architecture was the first love of his career and formed the foundation of his understanding of design composition, freehand drawing perspective, and the built-in natural environment, as well as many other aspects of his personal and professional growth. Listen as they discuss: - Why so many painters - especially watercolorists - started in architecture - What he was thinking when he quit his successful career as an architect to become a full-time artist (how it was a leap, and a stumble) - Richard's advice for others who are developing their art career - Letting go of tight details and painting more loosely - The difference he experiences as a painter in regards to being more relaxed day to day versus the pressure of working at an office job - Why he travels to 11-12 plein air events in a given year (Hint: It relates to what inspires him as an artist) - Embracing the struggle and his pitch to those who don't paint en plein air - The worst thing you can do when painting indoors or outdoors, no matter your level of experience Bonus! How do you price your paintings (and not set the price too low)? And how can artists use AI for their business? Eric Rhoads answers in this week's Art Marketing Minute.

Plein Air Podcast Special Episode: Artists for Lahaina

This is Plein Air Podcast episode number 253 with British artist and plein air mountaineer James Hart Dyke, who shares a story about a plein air adventure all of us wish we could have been a part of: James Hart Dyke climbed and painted Mont Blanc, which has an elevation of almost 15,800 feet, making it the highest summit of Western Europe. It was a treacherous trip of navigating around crevasses, going up glaciers, and avoiding avalanches and rock falls. Failure was not an option. Why did he do it? He wanted to reenact and emulate as closely as possible the conditions under which the legendary French painter of the Alps, Gabriel Loppé, made his pair of Summit paintings at sunset in 1873. Listen as they discuss: – The inspirational moment he had as an 8-year-old, which led him to his path as a painter – How studying architecture in college launched his professional artistic career (“It’s a bit dreamy, but that’s how my career started.”) – Dealing with frequent rain as a plein air painter in the UK (“Plein air painting is not for the faint-hearted.”) – The positive aspect of having what he calls “generators,” or challenges when painting on location – His thrilling experience with the British Intelligence Service and painting combat zones – How the producers of the James Bond films discovered him and his work (“It was very thrilling, but I’d say it all comes out of plein air landscape painting.”) – His experiences with King Charles and the Royal Party – How his plein air Summit adventure came to be, how he prepared himself physically, mentally, and logistically as a painter – His takeaways from the extreme experience and what he learned about himself – The plein air movement in the UK – And what’s next for James: Painting one of America’s iconic parks And in this week’s Art Marketing Minute: What can you do to attract more out-of-town buyers? Are there ways to vet potential buyers so you don’t waste your time? Listen and learn!
