Hey Artists 👋 Quick heads-up: this Monday at 8 AM Sydney time, I'm running a 2-hour painting critique session at the Art School. Here's how it works: Got a painting that's driving you crazy? Submit it, and I'll help you figure out what's working, what's not, and exactly how to fix it. Got photos or an idea for a painting, but not sure how to tackle it? Bring those too! We'll workshop the composition together and develop a solid game plan for painting it. This is one of my favourite sessions to run because you get real-time feedback on YOUR specific challenges - whether it's composition, values, colour mixing, or just figuring out where to start. After this critique session, we're back to our regular weekly live painting classes (with full replays), plus you'll get access to 60+ complete painting courses covering everything from clouds to trees to mastering values. If you've been thinking about joining the Art School, now's a great time. Jump in, submit your work, and let's get you some breakthroughs. https://www.skool.com/samuel-earp-online-art-school/about See you Monday! Sam

Hey everyone, Merry Christmas I just wrapped up writing a new guide: Mastering Tonal Values: The Foundation of Professional Landscape Painting. It's something I wish I'd had when I was starting out: a clear explanation of why values matter more than colour, how to create depth using atmospheric perspective, and Carlson's 4-zone system for organising any landscape. Download it here - completely free: https://www.skool.com/painters-hub/classroom/e0acdf28?md=c64165c13595427c8f9515735383fd97 Read it, and let me know what you think in the comments. I hope it helps you with your paintings Happy painting Samuel

Bring ONE painting, and I'll walk you through: - Three specific fixes that'll make the most significant impact - A simple 7-day plan to level up your next piece No fluff, just practical feedback you can actually use. I've only got a handful of spots available, so if you want one, comment "YES" below, and I'll send you the booking link. First-come, first-served. Happy painting. Sam
