Hello!

Welcome to the Painters Hub. I'm Samuel, and I'm so glad you're here.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LANDSCAPE PAINTING

Most artists struggle because they jump straight to colour without understanding the foundations. Here's what actually works:

Values do all the heavy lifting. Colours get all the glory.

That's why we start with sketching and tonal values, not pretty colours. Master these fundamentals, and your paintings will transform.

WHAT YOU GET IN THE FREE PAINTERS HUB

I've organised my best YouTube tutorials into structured painting courses, so instead of hunting through hundreds of videos, you've got a clear path to follow.

These courses cover my core techniques for landscapes, values, colour mixing, all the fundamentals you need to improve.

READY TO GO DEEPER?

Other Options That Fit Your Journey:

I know for some of you, $39/month isn't in the budget right now, and for others, you might not be ready for the live class commitment just yet.

That's exactly why I've created two additional options:

HOBBY TIER (VIP)

($15/month) - full painting tutorials, step-by-step lessons where you can paint along with me and build your skills at your own pace (these same tutorials are included in the Art School).

What you won't get are the live classes and those 60+ in-depth live class recordings. But the tutorials alone will absolutely help you improve.

Eligible for monthly painting critiques (recorded over Zoom)
Everything in the Fans Tier

FANS TIER (PREMIUM)

($5/month) - bonus materials and painting resources to support your journey.
Unlock my Milford Sound painting workshop when you reach Level 6
Eligible for monthly painting critiques (recorded over Zoom)

You can join either tier by going to the Classroom and clicking on one of the locked courses or by clicking this link:

These aren't "lesser" options; they're designed to meet you where you are right now.

Maybe this is your first step before diving into the Art School later, or maybe you're painting for pure relaxation, and this is exactly what you need.

COMMON QUESTIONS

"I'm a complete beginner."

Perfect. Start with the free courses on thumbnails and values. 90% of painting problems are solved at the thumbnail stage.

"I only have 30 minutes."

The free courses are broken into digestible chunks, perfect for quick learning sessions.

"Why aren't my paintings working?"

Usually, it's values, not colour. Post your work, and I'll take a look.

"Which tier should I choose?"

Start with the free content. If you want more structure and tutorials, try the Hobby Plan. If you want live guidance and rapid improvement, The Art School is for you.
