Hello everyone, This is a 12"x12" oil on plywood. I'm looking for feedback and constructive criticism. Let me know what you think. Your feedback is appreciated.

Oil on canvas. Still needs varnish.

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

A couple of quick under 3 hours studies of fabric folds from Tuesday’s evening class. Painting fabric is always a wonderful challenge and painting exercises. Sadly the subject moved slightly when I was setting up the photo. Up to that point the painting matched the subject perfectly. Silly me 🤔
