Hey Artists Two paintings on my easel this week, one finished, one just beginning. Watch the video below 👇 We wrapped up this winter scene in Sam's Art School (you can catch the replays if you're a member), and I've just blocked in the start of another. There's something about winter landscapes that keeps pulling me back, the simplified shapes, the limited palette, the way values do all the heavy lifting. If you've been thinking about joining us, this is perfect timing. We're kicking off a new painting course, continuing with winter landscapes. You get a 7-day FREE trial to test drive everything, live classes, the full tutorial library, critiques, the lot. Sometimes the best way to learn is just to dive in and paint alongside someone who's been doing it for a while.

Painted this from a tutorial, nice practice of greens and atmospheric depth, also shadow/light play. Acrylics on paper.

Hey Artists If your landscapes ever look flat, like they’re missing that sense of real distance, you’re not alone. Most artists try to fix it by adding more detail or doing a chalky glaze with titanium white, but that’s not the real problem. The issue is usually how you use tonal values and contrast, and once you fix that, everything changes. So I made a free 10-minute video that walks you through: 🎯 The simple 3-colour exercise that adds instant depth and realism 🎯 This exercise will help you quickly understand how to create atmospheric depth 🎯 How to make your paintings feel alive It’s short. It’s simple. And it works. 👇 Quick poll — be honest: Do your paintings ever feel a little flat? If you voted “Yes” or “Sometimes,” drop a comment that says “DEPTH” and I’ll send you the free video link right here in the group. Let’s make your next painting the one that stops people scrolling. 👊 Happy painting. Sam
