For the last of my interviews of artists participating in my new book, I interviewed master artist Lorenzo Chavez.
A native of New Mexico, Lorenzo was first inspired by the New Mexican landscape and the long succession of other artists who have found inspiration in the area. Although he now makes his home near Denver, he continues to travel and to paint the American Southwest and the West.
Lorenzo graduated with honors from the Colorado Institute of Art in 1983 and continued his art education at the Arts Students League of Denver, starting in 1987. He's painted professionally for over 35 years, working in both oil and pastel. His work has won many major awards and is in many major collections, both here and abroad. A much-sought-after workshop instructor, he continues to teach throughout the US.
I'm very pleased that Lorenzo was able to contribute to my book, and it was a delight to interview him. You can watch the interview below. (Can't see the video? You can see it at this link.)

In case you haven't heard about my book, Beautiful Landscape Painting Outdoors: Mastering Plein Air, 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 is available from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
