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. Master these fundamentals, and your paintings will transform. WHAT YOU GET IN THE FREE PAINTERS HUB I've organised my best YouTube tutorials into structured painting courses, so instead of hunting through hundreds of videos, you've got a clear path to follow. These courses cover my core techniques for landscapes, values, colour mixing, all the fundamentals you need to improve. READY TO GO DEEPER?

Happy to be here and looking forward to learning!

One year in my second attempt at retiring. I painted a lot during my first retirement. Now I need to find the motivation to paint during this one. I participate in my first group show from my Art association in November and I’m gonna participate in another show in February. So I’ve set a goal to meet this obligation. I have a lot of originals and prints. However, I would like a couple of more originals before February show

Wonderful new year to everyone!! On a A1 canvas I try to combine two photos and is 95% finish but would like some helpful tips 🌺

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?
