this is a study on free canvas, which I learned to do before starting a job or just to study, I attend an online course at the first painting school here in Italy, I used ochre, cadmium yellow, alizarin, ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, titanium white, thanks

I don't copy masters paintings to learn, but I do like to try to paint an original in the style of other artists. This is my attempt at a Mike Hernandez style gouache painting complete with opera pink toning of the paper. Although it's done in Casein instead of gouache, they act and look very similar. My other goal was to do it in less than 2 hours because I think this will be my medium of choice for Plein Air painting going forward. 6"x8" Casein on 300lb watercolor paper.

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.
