It is a process that gives you more color mixing knowledge than a truckload of color mixing books and preprinted charts could ever begin to provide. Schmid, born in Chicago in 1934, has spent many years sketching and painting throughout North America, Europe, South America and the Caribbean. His roving nature also applies to his subject matter; restlessly, he captures everything in sight, composing landscapes, nudes, wildlife, still lifes and children’s portraits.
