Enjoying the journey of exploring my surroundings by painting!! Gouache and oils depending on the day!!!

Hey artists Are you struggling with composition in your landscape paintings? Composition is one of those things that comes up again and again, not knowing where to begin, feeling overwhelmed by a scene, not knowing how to arrange things so the painting actually works. So I'm sharing a free hour-long class I recorded live with a group of my painting students a couple of years ago. I walk through a collection of simple composition formulas that are easy to remember and easy to use in your own paintings, with lots of real examples throughout. Comment "COMPOSITION" below, and I'll send you the link. Happy painting, Sam P.S. Keep an eye out over the next few days. I've got something pretty exciting coming that I think a lot of you are going to love. More on that soon.

I'm new to the group. I've been drawing and painting all my life but I'm recently retired and have some time on my hands... So, I've plunged back into painting. I started with watercolors, but I was only successful maybe one out of ten attempts. Ugh. Then I dug out my acrylics kit and found myself enjoying the process again. Here's my latest painting- a great blue heron in the early evening (8x10 on canvas panel). I look forward to meeting you all and continuing the journey. Cheers!
