I painted this scene found near an access point for the Appalachian Trail.

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.

I hope it helps you with your paintings Happy painting Samuel

Saw this wonderful stretch of road on a rainy day while walking Wainwright’s coast to coast trail. Small drawing in soft pastels. Second picture is the notan design.

Hey Artists Who wants their painting critiqued? I'm opening up my calendar for some quick 10-15-minute critiques on Zoom. 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
