Exclusive Interview with Clyde Aspevig, the World's Best Landscape Painter

[@stephanieeargle3865]

What a wonderful artist and interview! One thing he said that really, IMHO, is so important for art teachers (in colleges, etc.) is that his favorite teacher steered him toward great artists who painted as he aspired to paint…he didn’t try to change him into an abstract or installation type artist (not that those are bad), but that was not where his desire and natural gifts were leading him. BRAVO to that instructor/teacher! I’m basically self-taught, and watching other artists, along with reading everything I can get my hands on, and viewing great art, when I can, has been a great help to me. Thank you for this interview, Eric!

As I live in Medicine Hat Alberta, this is prairie - the same as Montana's prairie. Conservation of the Prairie is a common goal! I love painting plein air. Clyde Aspevig is a wonderful Artist and Conservationist. Thank you Eric for this wonderful interview!

[@carolhama4156]

I have been an Aspevig fan for years....THANK YOU for bringing us Clyde!

[@chrisgriffith1573]

So humble, so centered on becoming better, and from his perspective, he is always looking to what he feels are better artists than himself, and that is why he is always growing, always moving forward with his craft.

[@gregmeissner9960]

Clyde Aspevig is now, officially my #1 hero! Impeccable painter and avid conservationist, this encapsulates all I aspire to.

[@shobhakulkarni4799]

Have been watching your videos for almost two years... loved every single one of them. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.... having improved so much watching them.👍

[@jeffreyscott4564]

Eric, You have helped so many artists grow. The people you put together to share knowledge and technique is unrivaled. And having the honor of seeing Aspevig is such a privlege I truly believe that your series has helped me increase my ability to paint immensely. A million thanks of appreciation.

What an absolute pleasure it was to listen to this interview, thanks so much to both gentlemen. The high levels of intelligence, creativity, and gratitude that was shown by both of them along with sincere humility was like a balm for my soul. That's balm not bomb ;)

I loved talking with Clyde and Carol at the first convention about land snorkeling. They're lovely people, great to hear him again. I still go to his book 'Visual Music' - super book! Thanks for the interview, Eric.

The Clyde Aspevig Landscape Demo was my favorite at Realism Live 2022. I learned a lot about Composition, Abstract, Expressive, fast block-in of shapes and notes in your acrylic underpainting. I took a lot of notes and screenshots.

[@svenfigenschou7345]

Eric Rhodes - Loved this interview. Clyde Aspevig is such an inspiration - and a wise man :)

[@JoseVargas-yr6om]

Canadian artist Robert Bateman and American artist Clyde Aspevig, are my 2 favs. Thank you both.

[@michaelstancato6057]

Great questions Eric and great guest. Happy to hear Clyde mention Wyeth as that's where I grew up 7 miles from Chadds Ford.

[@cindynihart4788]

I love this mans heart and mind. Everything he said was inspiring. I agreed with everything he said. 'Land Snorkeling'. I love ocean snorkeling so land snorkeling sounds divine as well.

[@debbiebarnett5729]

I've been watching him for many years. I appreciate this video.

[@ebbyboehm4830]

Obviously I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a huge fan. So with all due respect, "unsurpassed by no one"? Wait. What? 🙂

[@monkeyboy2297]

sorry, I dont think anyone can be "the best landscape painter in the world" at any specific time, that's quite a grand statement, there is a world outside of the usa

[@rikukoskela2791]

He won the American world cup of landscape painting 3 years running.

[@carlosdommar]

@@rikukoskela2791 he said there's an entire world outside of the USA (even if most American don't believe it)

[@markharris6171]

​@@carlosdommar We see what the outside world looks like and reject it.

[@PainterDave]

This guy is me. I always wanted to be an artist and play the piano. But I had a controlling father an I was an artist hodge.

[@jerryseaton5239]

There is no "worlds best landscape painter"

[@dsmith9572]

No! I am the worlds best landscape painter!

[@artschoollive]

Finally. I meet you.

[@bozoclown2098]

Why do so many old men loose their voice health

[@susanwright4108]

his work is good but calling him the worlds greatest is way out of line.
