About this episode

Jason Sacran discusses the lessons learned from years of plein air competitions and how they shaped his painting approach and career.

Years on the competitive plein air circuit taught Jason Sacran more than how to paint under pressure. In this episode, the award-winning artist reflects on the lessons, challenges, and sacrifices that shaped his approach to painting and his career. Jason talks with Eric Rhoads about what he learned from years of plein air competitions, how painting intensely from life helped him grow, and why artists don't have to travel to spectacular destinations to find something worth painting. He also shares his approach to nocturnes and early-morning light, painting larger outdoors, and finding compelling subjects close to home.
