with Samuel Earp
Join New Zealand artist Samuel Earp in painting this beautiful mountain valley. Samuel shows you a methodology for painting a successful landscape from start to finish, including designing a composition from photos, sketching, painting a study and then the in-depth step by step process of painting the final art work.
Learn all about colour mixing made easy, how to use values to create real depth in your paintings, and the finer points of painting mountains that many artists miss out on. Apply these concepts and techniques to your own paintings to take your work to the next level.
Whenever you’re ready! The lesson is available online any time, and your access to the lesson never expires.

Hi I'm Samuel Earp, a traditional realist artist who loves to paint landscapes in oils, especially scenes of New Zealand, Australia and Guernsey among others. I grew up in the South West of England where I did a lot of drawing and painting from an early age. I moved to the beautiful country of New Zealand in 2009 and have been painting there ever since. I look forward to being your painting tutor!
Hi I'm Samuel Earp, a traditional realist artist who loves to paint landscapes in oils, especially scenes of New Zealand, Australia and Guernsey among others. I was born on the island of Guernsey in 1979 but grew up in the South West of England where I did a lot of drawing and painting from an early age, I always loved landscape art even as a child. I moved to the beautiful country of New Zealand in 2009 and have been there ever since.
I have a passion for painting landscapes, especially water and the sea, which I enjoy painting most of all. I also love to paint outdoors on location (en plein air).
'I love recreating the colours, light and atmosphere of nature on canvas. Painting gives me an enormous sense of well-being and connectedness'.
I especially love the dramatic landscapes and beautiful colours that are so unique to the New Zealand wilderness and I channel this into my mountain paintings. I look forward to being your painting tutor!

My take on Mount Talbot, couldn't hack the flax, so went with grass. Also threw in some pebbles on the right, and left out the tree. Otherwise hope I managed to capture the feel of your painting. Oil on canvas - Nancy Murraye

Block in for New Zealand Valley
I really like the loose painterly brush work in this painting, the tonal dynamic is working and the composition is good. I can see this painting has a strong foundation which is the most important thing to establish when blocking in a painting. You have plenty of room for adding lighter tone to the painting has you begin the modelling stage. Keep going with this one, it would be great to see this painting when it is finished. Be sure to post it to this blog when it is complete :)
Mountain Valley - Pamela Wissinger
I like your interpretation of this painting workshop. I really like the greens in the foreground and you have very nicely adapted the composition for a different size canvas, I think it's work really well. Some suggestions for improvements would be to address the values in this painting. In the photo reference the are some very dark tones in the foreground especially along the river bank and in the shadows of the trees and mountain faces. Adding some darker shadows will help to give the painting more of a sense of light. You can then also add some lighter colours to the grass and trees. You could also add some more shadows to the background mountains which again will emphasise their overall forms and give the painting a sense of space. This is an easy fix and I think this is well on its way to being a great painting :)
