Hi Artists Just a quick heads-up that the founding price for the Landscape Painting Mastery Course closes this Monday, May 4th. After that, it goes back to $397 USD. If you've been sitting on the fence, now is the time. And here's a good reason to join the annual membership right now: we're kicking off a brand-new tree painting class at Sam's Landscape Painting School tomorrow. You'd be jumping in right as something new starts, which is a great way to hit the ground running. Two ways to get access before Monday: Option 1: Get the Landscape Painting Mastery Course on its own for $197 USD, 50% off the regular price of $397. https://www.skool.com/painters-mastermind-5223/about Option 2: Join Sam's Landscape Painting School on an annual membership for $299 USD and get lifetime access to the Landscape Painting Mastery Course completely free as a launch bonus. I'll personally send you your course access link within 24 hours. https://www.skool.com/samuel-earp-online-art-school/about Any questions, drop them in the comments below. Happy painting, Sam

Hey Artists I've just opened the doors to something I've been working on for a while, and I wanted to share it here first. The Landscape Painting Mastery Course is now live. It's 17 complete landscape painting projects and over 170 videos, walking you through everything from mountains and dramatic skies to trees, water, and seascapes. Every project covers the full process, from thumbnail sketch right through to finished painting. (Swipe through the photos above to see some of the paintings you'll learn to create inside the course.) The content originally came from my Painters Mastermind program, which was a $5,000 a year private group. People paid to watch me paint and think out loud across hundreds of hours of real demonstrations, as well as help them personally with their painting. That's what's inside this course. There are two ways to get access: OPTION 1: Get the Landscape Painting Mastery Course on its own for $197 USD. That's the founding member price, 50% off the regular price of $397 USD. The founding price closes Monday, May 4th. 👉 https://www.skool.com/painters-mastermind-5223/about OPTION 2: Join Sam's Landscape Painting School on an annual membership for $299 USD and get the Landscape Painting Mastery Course completely FREE as a launch bonus. That includes lifetime access to the course plus weekly live classes, the full tutorial library, and the community. 👉 https://www.skool.com/samuel-earp-online-art-school/about Note: This offer is available to new annual members joining at the current $299 rate. If you're on a legacy pricing plan and have questions, just send me a DM and I'll sort you out personally. Any questions, just drop them in the comments below, and I'll answer them personally. Happy painting, Sam P.S. I show you in real time how to paint all of these paintings and more when you join the Landscape Painting Mastery course.

Hey everyone 😊 My Clouds Painting Course starts this Monday (25th August, NZ time) and I'm genuinely excited about this one. I know so many of you have told me that skies are what trip you up most in your landscapes. You get the foreground looking decent, then the clouds just... don't work. They end up flat, lifeless, or looking like cotton balls stuck to the canvas. I get it. I used to abandon paintings for the exact same reason. This 8-week course breaks down everything I've learned about painting realistic clouds: the colour mixing, how light actually works in skies, achieving soft edges, and creating depth and atmosphere. All the stuff that makes clouds look like they're actually floating in space rather than painted on. We'll cover different cloud types, time-of-day effects, and how to make your skies support the whole painting instead of fighting against it. QUICK HEADS UP: I'm running a special on annual memberships right now - $199 USD instead of the usual $279 USD. That gets you this course plus everything else in the Art School. The special pricing ends in one week. If you've been on the fence about joining, this might be a good time. The course recordings will be there forever, but we always have more fun doing them live together. Join here if you're interested: https://www.skool.com/samuel-earp-online-art-school/about Let me know if you have any questions! Sam 😊

Hey Artists I love seeing all the amazing artists in this community, and I'm curious about where you see yourself heading!

Here's the thing... whatever you picked, it's 100% achievable. Seven years ago, I never imagined I'd have 67K YouTube subscribers, 109K Instagram followers, and be making a full-time living teaching what I love. The "starving artist" myth is just that - a myth. There are SO many ways to build a thriving art career in 2025, and honestly, most of them are more reliable than hoping galleries will pick up your work.
