  • The landmark, large-format book, The Landscapes-Enhanced Edition, shares Richard Schmid's fifty-year path from youthful painter to seasoned artist. This book is a stunning visual tale of Schmid's lifelong romance with the colors and light of our earth. With delightfully candid narrative and over 300 full-color images, Richard reveals what it is like to go out and capture life as it is happening. Discover how landscape painting is unlike any other form of art; and how artistic skill is only one of the many abilities demanded.

    Sequential Sketches features 70 sequential sketches by Richard Schmid presented as a slide show at Landmark College in Putney, Vermont, in October 2005. The images reveal the process of painting from start to finish and insight into the artist's thinking through his narration. This DVD comes with the bonus feature film Secret Squint, the charming tale of a young artist (Richard at the age of 30) who discovers the magical power to create paintings using his secret squint.

Working in the freezing temperatures and intermittent snowfalls of Vermont's early winter, Richard delivers his painting techniques with a great sense of humor as he deals with the elements. Special features include a Q & A session and a gallery of Richard Schmid's landscape paintings.
    • June - number two in the landscape series (Plein air) - features two painting instruction sessions beginning with a very intense morning session of bright outdoor painting from life.

    • White Pine - number four in the landscape series (excellent for artists working from photographs) - the final installment in the four-part landscape instruction series, explores the use of modern technology and photos in painting. Richard demonstrates in detail the advantages of using a computer instead of older methods. As he paints, Richard Schmid explains about color harmony, design, edges, values. He demonstrates how he departs from the photograph then borrows elements from other images to reach his goal.
    • Captain's Portrait - Live Portrait Demonstration - an instruction video demonstrating the challenges of Alla Prima portrait painting. Filmed live before an audience of 300 spectators, Richard starts the demo as a beautiful monochrome rendering that ultimately evolves into a stunning full-color bravura portrait.
