New Century Art Gallery asked artist Mary Quintal, "Who are some contemporaries or figures in art history who have influenced you?"
"Well, Charles Reid was the first artist I ever saw who did figure painting in watercolor.
I was blown away! I then bought all of his videos and all of his books and studied from them.
The next artist I followed was Frank Webb, he was the teacher at the first paint workshop I ever went to. He showed me about composition and color temperature.
Stephen Quiller helped show how to see and mix colors.
Norma Gray is a local artist, by local I mean Michigan and she taught workshops.
In her studio. She was fantastic and I studied with her for nearly ten years."
