I love your relaxed way you teach oil painting. Very generous to provide a written instruction and original photo. Really is a big help.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lorenholmberg2822]

Yourself and Andrew Tischler are without question the premier painter/instructors of the use of light/darks and the colors which make them work!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Loren, I plan to make some more videos explaining colour mixing so stay tuned 😊

[@stevenshackelford1937]

Such a helpful video on trees with 'GREEN FOLIAGE'! Seems these tutorials are harder to locate. TY so much for making, painting, filming, editing, uploading, and above all - Sharing. Great Outcome!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I'll be making more videos on painting trees 🙂

[@sampradhan989]

Thank you sir for detail tutoring. I have been seeing many videos of other artists but you are the only one who show detail process of your painting. Thank you for teaching.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

This is a stunning landscape Sam! I love it mate! Great job! :)

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks mate 🙂

[@akshaybasarge]

Andrew Tischler yes

[@MyChilepepper]

Andrew and Samuel, my two favorite artists!

[@karenartist7460]

I’ve seen all landscape paintings in KZbin are all amazing but I always think of my work is too messy because I’m self taught, and it seems every time I painted a landscape, not turn out as I imagine it would be, so anyone out there would be so kind and give me some advice how to get better like all of your guys out there. Thank you 🙏 god bless

[@stevenlarsen1691]

Love this painting. We have more dead fall in my area that is fun to paint. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

My pleasure Steven, thank you 😊

[@icegypsy99]

You're the 1st person I have seen using a dagger brush. Often wondered how to use them. Will have to look into getting one next time I order brushes in.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Yeah, dagger brushes are very useful, great for painting rocks and clouds too. Have you checked out Andrew Tischler’s channel, he uses them all the time 😊

[@orrmarie]

Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate your taking the time to do these. What I appreciate most is that you not only show us how you create your painting, but you also explain WHY you are doing the things you are doing on the canvas. It's so helpful!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Orrmarie, glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111]

Even that first plein air is amazing!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks 😊

[@pjbk3838]

Loved it! I really appreciated that you went through the composition and often told of the color changes. I would only suggest closer up sometimes when doing the finer leaves etc. Not sure if it was me but parts were blurry. Exceptional tutorial Thank you!

[@tomslaterdesignillustratio4391]

Thank you! Absolute pleasure watching you work.

Excellent video. Not just the quality of the painting, but you clearly described what colours you were using, and WHY you would mix particular colours. It was very helpful , thanks.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Jamie 😊

[@saptarishibasu1345]

The guidance on using a black and white image to understand dark and light tones is priceless. Thank you again

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks, glad you found it helpful. 😊

[@Jayariee]

I really appreciate this video. I'm on the struggle bus when it comes to painting trees so I've been really practicing

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks. Stay tuned, I’ll be making more videos about painting trees 😊

[@rocket45man]

Extremely clear instruction and beautiful painting as well. In this and prior tutorials the way you constantly repeat stating your color mixtures is very helpful. The repetition really reinforces the lesson. Thanks.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Greg, repetition helps me learn too which is part of the reason I do it. Glad you are enjoying the videos 🙂

[@barbaras6845]

Beautiful painting- thank you for making this video, it was so helpful!

[@rengoku3658]

Perfect example of Golden ratio and colour values.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks, yeah I used the golden ratio in this painting 😊

[@raylaye6894]

Hi Sam. Thanks for demonstion on mixing paints you have inspired me. I'm now starting to use alkyd paints. I've always used oil for the last 30 years Ray laye South Wales.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

[@JeffChorney]

I agree with Andrew awesome painting. I really love how you captured the shadows cast from the poplar and sycamore onto the dirt path, outstanding Sam!

All good Lyn, it makes me happy that people enjoy the videos and find the information helpful 🙂

[@ArtbyLysa]

This is EXACTLY what I needed!! Thank you so so much!! I actually have to sit down and take lots of notes about the color mixtures as I have 2 commissions that include mountains/foliage. They are a challenge for me as I usually do pet portraits. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Lysa, glad you found the video useful. I'll explain more about colour mixing in future videos.

[@normg2242]

Beautiful painting, Sam! You are the very first youtube painter where I actually interrupt the video and take notes. Just from watching two of your videos, I've got a long list of gems already which I can't wait to implement in my painting. I've been stuck on a plateau for years, but now I'm ready for the next level. Thanks buddy, I'm definitely coming back. Keep up the good work!!! ☺

Thanks Norman, glad you are finding the videos helpful 😊

[@pollyester6627]

Well done dude, excellent understandable instruction, thanks! Really needed this demonstration and your proficiency of explaining the stages so thoroughly. Do you have a video concerning color temperature in a trees/foliage landscape?

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

You're very welcome! I don't have a specific video on colour temperature but I try to infuse art theory in all of my painting videos and so you can learn it in the context of the painting I am demonstrating 😊

[@neridawoolley4641]

Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge Sam. Love your work!

[@Golden_reds]

One of the best instructional videos I have ever watched on painting. You explain the fiddly bits, where others suddenly fast-forward and I am left wondering how a certain area was painted. Your colour explanations are perfect, really informative, and most important of all - you allowed us to follow through with you to the end :) . I get frustrated sometimes when others do a plein air painting, then show us a fully completed artwork at the end that has been finished in the studio...and I don't know how they arrived at the finished piece. Absolutely fantastic, going to check out your links above :)

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Golden_reds, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm going to be making videos about plein air painting too as the techniques and colour mixing can be applied to studio painting, in fact I find that plein air painting has really helped me to improve my studio work. 🙂

Thanks 😊

[@kevinmanning3753]

you are great as well ive paintedfor many years and I will never get to your level great stuff!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks Kevin, just keep practicing, it's all about brush mileage. You should see what I was painting 10 years ago, I never imagined back then I'd be at the standard I am now and I still think I have a long way to go. Sometimes you need some help along the way, in my case I was lucky to meet Andrew Tischler a few years ago and he mentored me and helped me with my painting. This KZbin channel is my way of giving back for all the people that have helped me. 🙂

[@brucemaatta5859]

@@SamuelEarpArtist this is the reason I think you are fantastic...along with being a darn good painter and teacher. You and tischler are my oil heroes. Brush mileage is a new standard for me to live by as I have come to painting later and want to go a long way before the end of the road. Thanks for your giving spirit. I would love to paint with you sometime ....shout out if you ever get to WI
