2026 Laguna Beach Plein Air
Invitational Artist
Richard Sneary
Kansas City, Kansas
” Richard’s chosen medium is watercolor because of it’s transparency and luminosity, it’s ability to blend seamlessly from color to color in wet on wet applications, how glazing transforms the colors underneath, the articulation of dry brush calligraphy marks, and the challenge of visualizing and planning lights & darks…backwards from the norm in other mediums. His paintings are about contrast, shapes, focus, stories, pathways, complexity, mood, and a dozen other things that come into play during the process. “
