Happy New Year! 🎉🥳 I'm starting 2026 the right way, out here in Australia, painting plein air at Mount White, overlooking the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales. This is YOUR year. 2026 is the year you finally: - Understand values and create depth in your paintings - Stop guessing and start following a system - Create professional-quality work you're proud to display or sell - Paint with confidence instead of doubt I've got a lot planned for 2026: new painting courses, including acrylic and gouache content, artwork I mainly paint in oils, and plenty of free tips coming your way. Make this the year you commit to your art. Happy painting! Sam P.S. Want structured training to make 2026 your breakthrough year?
