Hey Artists I hope you're having a great weekend. I thought I would show you what I am working on right now (see the video below). I'm working on a new painting project and want to show you some of the process. This is also a scene I have painted before, for which there is a painting tutorial in Sam's Art School and the VIP tier here in the Painters Hub. I painted this in 2021, and whilst I was happy with it, I always felt I could have done better. Recently, I stumbled across my reference photos again and thought, "I wonder what this painting would look like if I painted it again." Sometimes I paint landscapes I have painted before because I like to see where I have come from and how much I have progressed in that time. This is one of those paintings. What are you working on right now? Post your art in the comments. Cheers. Sam P.S. Want to improve your landscape painting in 7-days?

Hello! Welcome to the Painters Hub. I'm Samuel, and I'm so glad you're here. 🎥 First: Watch my 10-minute Painters Hub tour (see video below 👇) See exactly how to navigate the community + discover which option is right for your painting journey THE TRUTH ABOUT LANDSCAPE PAINTING Most artists struggle because they jump straight to colour without understanding the foundations. Here's what actually works: Values do all the heavy lifting. Colours get all the glory. That's why we start with sketching and tonal values, not pretty colours.

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
