Your landscapes prompt us to open our eyes to nature around us more and more often and capture the moment . Why not? Thank you Sam, it would be a waste not to grab what is indeed priceless...!

Many thanks Sam. I previously bought two of your videos and they are brilliant and worth every cent. But thank you for your free videos and so unselfishly sharing your expert knowledge. Love your work.

beautiful summer greens, very nice work, and very well explained, thanks for another great one

[@jeffhreid]

Winter greens in Sam’s case he’s in the Southern Hemisphere

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Many thanks 😊

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thats true Jeff. I am in far north New Zealand and it's a subtropical climate up here so it looks really green even in winter 😊

[@LearningPleinAir]

Ha, thank you for correcting.. I thought Colorado was the best place for plein air painting, ..maybe not, beautiful place, wonderful painting

[@grandpa_eric]

Hey 👋 Sam, I like how you added cows at the end of the video. I also try to add some sort of living aspect to my paintings; a bird, a goose, people fishing, a surfer, a kayaker, or someone who happens to walk into the scene. Doing so tells a story. I enjoy that. Thanks!! Nice work.

[@David-wy9jl]

Your mixing instructions are great and appreciated.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks David 😊

[@Whiskeygalore24]

Very nice Sam. There is so much depth in that painting that my ears popped from the pressure change. 😜

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thank you so much Jeff 😊

[@billbevan9813]

Thanks Sam, another great video. I do look forward to them. As Angela said earlier, keep repeating your self. Hopefully it becomes second nature when mixing those colours instead of trial and error. Keep up the great work. Bill. 👍😁

Thank you so much Bill 😊

Great painting Sam! I appreciate your repetition, dont change! I love how you explain the brushes you use and your detailed descriptions of mixing color. You are an awesome teacher and seem like the kindest person, a perfect mixture and thank you so much for putting these videos out!

Thanks Sam. As always I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I've been more confident mixing my own greens as a result of watching your videos, with the exception of phalo green for an added punch. Take care and thanks again.

Great video, I enjoyed it very much! I'm glad you did the "broken record" thing, because I hadn't seen many of the earlier videos.... and you're right, it's always worth repeating!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Glad it was helpful, yeah I think the best way to learn is through repetition . Thanks for watching 😊

Repetition is very important! The learner is not always ready to hear what you are saying!

Sam, great work again. Also, love the books you have on your desk. Would love to see a video on the other art books you have related to landscapes. All the best!

Thanks. I will definitely keep that in mind for a video if that is something you’d like to see. Cheers 😊

[@brucemaatta5859]

You inspire me each time I watch to go out and paint. I have benefitted from your method. Thanks! Question...why are "torturer trees" called that? Are they a species of pine?

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Bruce. Totara is native to New Zealand and all the native trees have Maori names. The letter ‘O’ in Maori sounds like an ‘or’ sound. I do my best to pronounce the Maori names properly but myself being from England I often butcher the pronunciations. The Latin name for totara tree is Podocarpus totara. 😊

[@lonnymcsherley773]

Thanks Sam, I always enjoy your tutorials and your videos. I have one question. I use Langridge Transparent Yellow Oxide that seems much darker than your Yellow Oxide. Is there a difference?

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Lonny. Yes there is a difference, yellow oxide is opaque and it's a lighter value colour. I think I have a tube of transparent yellow oxide but I don't often use it. If I were to use it I'd use it as a tinting colour maybe to add a glaze. I have done the same in the past with nickel azo yellow 😊

[@NayrbRellimer]

Do you have a veltillation system in your studio or do you just keep the windows open when working?

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

I just open the window at the moment but I need a better ventilation system as sometimes I get headaches

[@AZart2]

[@LuciferMorningstar-qi5tt]

A question for outdoor painting. When I get all set up to do some work outside I start to get overwhelmed with everything around me I get frustrated and end up forcing the paint and quitting on the piece. What can I do beside just paint outside more to bring down the overwhelming feeling? Thank you in advance.

[@jeffhreid]

Try bringing a matte the same size as your canvas to use as a viewfinder to look through and isolate the scene you wish to paint. Look through it as often as needed to remind yourself of what to ignore.

[@LuciferMorningstar-qi5tt]

@@jeffhreid I am guessing thats what people are doing when they have their hands in a square. I will have to stop at hobby lobby and grab a mat before heading out again thank you very much

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thats a good question. Whenever you paint outdoors you should always simplify the scene you are painting otherwise it can be too overwhelming. Don't be afraid to move things around in your composition or eliminate masses / forms in the scene you are painting. With landscape paintings I always go for the less is more approach. For around the first year when I was painting outdoors I really struggled with it but at the same time I had light bulb moments and I learned loads about painting, composition, colours and values. Just keep painting en plein air, I promise you, you'll learn loads from it and your painting will improve 😊

[@LuciferMorningstar-qi5tt]

@@SamuelEarpArtist excellent info thank you very much. Your paintings are amazing btw.

[@NayrbRellimer]

I found out that the site for filming the shire in Lord of the Rings is located in the north island of New Zeland. I'm not sure how long a drive that would be, but you should probably check it out some time.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Hello, yes the set for The Shire was filmed in a place called Matamata, it's about a 6 hour drive from where I live

[@dheajamila4295]

👌😍

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

[@eyeonart6865]

I saw a poshbox on one of your videos and $315.00 is outrageous for so little material used.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

All of the pochade boxes I use in my videos are hand made by Ben Haggett and they are by far the best and most intuitive pochade boxes I have ever used. They are a joy to paint with. You are paying for the highest quality piece of art equipment that will last you a lifetime 😊

[@JweissWeiss]

Where do you get your dagger brush.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

These dagger brushes are made by Rosemary and Co. I buy all of my brushes from there. Here is the link to their website, they ship worldwide. www.rosemaryandco.com/

[@annesaffer629]

You make it look easy! Nice job, I always learn from your videos. Note to self: learn how to paint cows...
