I spoke recently with water media artist Mark Mehaffey as part of my ongoing interviews of artists from my new book, Beautiful Landscape Painting Outdoors: Mastering Plein Air. Mark holds master and signature memberships in many organizations, including the American Watercolor and National Watercolor Societies. He's also won many major awards in exhibitions both here and abroad, such as the "Distinguished Master" award from the Transparent Watercolor Society of America for having over 20 paintings in its shows. Also a workshop instructor, Mark has written books and produced videos on painting in a variety of water media. (Visit www.MarkMehaffeyFineArt.com.)
Until our interview, I'd not met Mark in person, but I envy him living and painting on the shores of Lake Michigan. It was a pleasure to work with him on the book and a real delight to meet him via Zoom. You can either watch the recording here or through this link: https://youtu.be/NWSpuXH97p0

In case you haven't heard about my book, it features 15 master artists who share their tips and techniques for plein air painting. This 160-page book is packed with demonstrations, illustrations and, of course, beautiful paintings. The book, which will come out March 2022, is available for pre-order from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. You can get details at the following links:
