Sometimes Realism Doesn't Look As Good -- Sam Lenz

Sam shares how he got started in miniature painting and the artists who have influenced his style and sense of composition and color, both in miniatures and the rest of his art. The works of people like Frazetta and Blanch and how they approach color and dimension are often far more compelling and visually interesting in Sam's mind.We also talk about some of the most influential lessons he's learned from both his failures and his successes, and why he is so passionate about creating art of all kinds. He's been through a lot of difficult times in his life and artistic career and he's made a lot of sacrifices to get where he is now.- Check out Sam's Instagram- Watch some of Sam's fantastic videos on his YouTube- Give Sam's Patreon a lookThese interviews are recorded live at Twitch.tv/Uselesswizard on Thursday evenings at 6pm Pacific.
