The works of art produced before our eyes included - landscapes, still lifes and portraits. The master artists also shared their artistic insights, tips about their choice of materials, composition, and methods for capturing light, motion and mood in their paintings. While in the field, the artists discuss their unique approaches to their work, their mental process, influences and style.
