Enjoy Barbara’s conversation and interview with renowned artist Scott Christensen on Adventure of Painting’s Wildcard Artist Chats. The Adventure of Painting Signature Course is developed by Scott as a foundation to developing a painter’s eye and painter’s mind. Across four online, self-paced series of video modules, Scott explores the landscape painting fundamentals that are crucial to growing skill and artistic vision. It is a guide to the process of finding ideas, developing them through studies, and refining them on canvas.

Scott has been a good friend and mentor to me for many years, and it was a true delight to engage with Scott in this interview!
