William Schneider
William A. Schneider’s work has evolved since he finished his studies at the American Academy of Art. Workshops with Carolyn Anderson, Dan Gerhartz, Harley Brown, Scott Christensen, Huihan Liu, and Richard Schmid among others solidified his understanding of the basics. But he credits the many hours
he spent studying and copying masterworks by Nicolai Fechin with loosening up his brushwork andapproach to edges.

He also describes four days of intense study and analysis at an exhibit of J.W.Waterhouse as an epiphany in understanding composition. “The wonderful thing about art is that you can always get better. I view myself as a perpetual student”.

William is a Master Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America, the Pastel Society of America, and the American Impressionist Society. He has also been named to the Masters Circle by the International Association of Pastel Societies.

William has earned many national awards and has frequently been included in national art magazines. He has also produced instructional art videos; for more information on William Schneider and to view his work visit his website at www.schneiderart.com.

Each entry is reviewed and scored by an independent jury panel.  The Jurying panel will consist of a minimum of 5 NOAPS Master Artists or Signature Members.  The panel selects paintings for the exhibit based on the quality and individual mastery of the medium.

IMPORTANT: Jurors in the panel make selections based on the image entered. Make sure the image depicts a true representation of the painting. Images that are not displayed right side up or without proper cropping will not be juried. Jurors score the image only and do not see any information about the artist.
