Another “find” in my garage. I really loved doing pastel. Maybe I will take it up again. I’m not sure when I did this, but around the 90’s. Needs work.

Hey Artists I just published a new painting tutorial on my website that I'm excited to share with you. It's about painting a mountains and painting the dark values first, a technique that completely transformed how I approach landscapes. Instead of starting with the sky like most artists teach, I begin with the darkest values first, and the results have been incredible. In this step-by-step tutorial, I walk you through painting a stunning New Zealand-inspired mountain scene using this unconventional method. You'll see exactly how starting with darks creates better tonal balance and depth in your landscapes. Read the full tutorial here: https://samuelearp.com/blog/paint-a-stunning-mountain-landscape/ The technique might feel backward at first, but I think you'll be amazed at how it simplifies the entire painting process. Happy painting! Sam
