ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video, I will show you how to paint this beautiful countryside scene and I will give you some tips on mixing greens that you would typically find in the landscape.
This painting is inspired by the Northland Region of New Zealand.
This painting originally started as a plein air painting, and then I added more detail to it in the studio.
Check out the written notes that accompany this video. Please feel free to use the reference photos if you would like to have a go at painting this.

I know you like to finish up your plein air paintings with some detail back in the studio. I rather like your plein air paintings in their own right. Always a good view. Thanks.
Thanks, I like both and it’s only more recently I’ve been adding more detail to my plein air paintings in the studio. Most of the time I leave my paintings as plein air paintings but just lately I’ve really been enjoying adding more detail to them in the studio 😊
I just commented on another of your videos how your different mixes and values of green really creates depth and reality. It's your depiction of light that you create with those greens that give your painting so much depth and beauty. Your paintings glow. Beautiful work. And beautiful country side.
Thank you so much Steve 😊
Excellent tuition loved the plein air painting demo many thanks
Thank you so much Pauline 😊
Learning a lot watching your great videos. Became a pattern a make nth ago but have not been able to find the sight. No matter I’m getting my moneys worth watching your free stuff. Thank you for all your help.
Hey Steve, thank you for your comment, glad you are enjoying the videos. When you say you are not able to find the site on my Patreon channel are you having difficulty logging in? Can I help you sort out this issue? Cheers. Sam
I grew up on a farm on the road to Whananaki so the scenes are familiar and make me feel a bit homesick.
Nice, yeah I love the landscape up here in Northland 🙂
Samuel, if you keep frequently putting out these instructional type videos, your channel WILL explode!! Your content is golden! Thank you!
Thanks John, I am certainly doing my best to get more videos created. Luckily I am getting much quicker at video editing. I will continue to keep making more videos for you. Thanks for subscribing 😀
Thank you Samuel, lovely Country
It really is! Thanks 😀
Great video. Much appreciation for covering a topic that drives so many painters mad!
Thanks. All good, I used to have trouble with greens myself. I happy to share my knowledge 😊
I'm in the English Peak District and this landscape looks so similar. Love the horse too 🐴❤️
Thank you so much. I am also from England too 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist from the Channel Islands you said I believe? A beautiful place!
Wow! I love your work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! 😊
This was wonderful! I learned so much about mixing greens.
Glad it was helpful, thanks Jill 😀
Very useful video......full of information
Thank you Karl 😀
This was fantastic Samuel.... please do more!!!! 💫
Thanks Lori, I definitely will do 😀
Beautiful work Sam!
Thank you very much 😀
Thank you Sam for your teachings, you are a great artist and very generous with your knowledge. A year ago I was very fortunate to have visited NZ with my hubby and even met your friend Andrew! Your paintings truly show and even enhance the already stunning views you have over there. Keep up these videos!
You are very welcome, thank you so much. Yes, Andrew is a great painter and he mentored me a few years ago 😊
I've heard from plein air painters in my local art society that the animals get curious and come and see what you're doing. Those horses certainly look interested. What a lovely painting, Sam. :)
Thank you! Yeah I have found that some animals get curious about what you are doing. I did a plein air painting in the south island two years ago and by the end of it I was surrounded by cows! 😀
Wowww what an amazing teaching lesson. I do watercolour but your way of teaching and mixing the colours with your instructions were so valuable to me. I live in Whangarei and see these beautiful landscapes everywhere. Your a fantastic artist. Thank you.
Thank you so much Lynn, yeah Northland is so beautiful, there is so much to paint up here 😀
Lol, all the scenes are so familiar, as I have seen Andrew's videos... I really love that you included the drive into the setting, give us a good idea of how amazing this area is!
Thanks Chris. Andrew lives in the far south of New Zealand so has more rugged scenery on his doorstep. I live in the far north of New Zealand where it is more subtropical so lots of green fields, trees and palms. Me, Andrew and Freeman are planning on meeting up in the next couple of months for a plein air painting trip so that should be good. I think I’ll start including more footage of the local areas I’ll be painting for future videos 😊
Love your tips on greens... Thank you.
My pleasure Michael 😊
Great video! Sure do miss that stunning landscape...
Thanks Ben 😀
Your videos are so good. I always learn something. Thanks so much!
Thanks Deborah 😊
Wow! There is so much in this this video! So much useful information!!
Thank you so much for making this. I have to watch this again and take notes 😊.
I love your written tutorials and your Pateron! Thank you again I am so glad I discovered you 😇.
Thank you so much Autum, my pleasure 😀
Beautiful painting Sam and great tutorial as usual!
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Sam always lovely to see you. Have a great Xmas.
Thanks Mary, merry Christmas to you too 😊
Can't wait to see the horse's painted Sam, gorgeous..
Love the whole video ,thank you👍🖌️😁
Thanks Chrissy. I made a start on painting those horses en plein air. Going to finish it in the studio, especially as I will need to adjust the dimensions of the horses 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist super, can't wait to see, have a fab weekend 👌😁🎨
Lol..... driving on the left is freaking me out lol !!!!!
Ha ha, I actually lived in the USA for two years and had to get used to driving on the right side of the road, it was confusing to start with! 😂
Hi Sam, I enjoy your videos and explanations, they are truly helpful, i love painting landscapes and seascapes aswell.
Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi Sam! It's absolutely breathtaking there as is your work! I love the horses too ♥️Thanks for sharing! I hope you are doing well!
Thanks Cristy, really glad you enjoyed the video 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist 😊

Just had a break from painting to watch, a lovely tour of your country side and painting, thanks Sam :)
Thanks Peter, I hope you’ll start painting again 😀
@@SamuelEarpArtist No, l meant a coffee break :)
Wonderful painting. Bright colours. I really like the way you paint. I am trying one of your painting. I am really inspired from your videos.
Thanks Harshal, I’m really glad you are enjoying the my videos 😊
At 3:12 that cow is giving you the eye as if she knew you were going to paint over the cows at 19:26 :) Well done video as always!
Thanks 😊
Hey Sam , I just found your channel and and am looking forward to watching your other videos. I like how you go over composition and color mixing. Very informative ! Keep up the good work
Thanks Ronald 😀
I could only dream of painting that well,but I'll keep trying. 😀
Keep practicing Isabella. I hope my videos and blog posts are helpful to you 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist ,thank you, yes,very helpful.
Beautiful work Sam, Got to get over across the ditch oneday to paint beautiful NZ 🎨👍
Thanks Tez. Yeah you should definitely come to NZ. Let me know if you are here and we can meet up and go plein air painting 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist Thx Sam, Yeah sounds good。Will come one day for sure. Same if you ever come over to Sydney Aus. We can paint Bondi and the Blue Mountains 🎨👍🙂
Awesome Sam thank you for the instructions. I love your painting and started watching your videos after an Andrew Tishler video. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks Tim, much appreciated 😊
Me too, one of your videos was then suggested after Andrew T's (and I instantly subscribed!). Great tips -- thank you, Samuel!
Best teacher. 🙏
Thanks 😊
Mesmerizing.....really loved your paintings.

Thank you so much 😀
very nice work,
Thanks Hazel 😊
Hobbit Country ... really great information Sam :)
Thanks Terry, i was actually thinking that when I was out painting in this area, it looks like Middle Earth 😊
Where is this?
Cheers great help, it looks like the borders in Scotland
Thanks Michael 🙂
Yes I was thinking Scotland or were I'm am in Lancashire, in the Ribble valley 😁
Your work is absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I have a question for you to do with something bthat to me seeems so difficult, that is to choose the composition, when all around everything is just so beautiful! Would you give us a guidance on how to make tthat selection? I d truly appreciate it 🙏🌿?
dont know how i just found this video but thanks im trying to get my painting off the ground , im in the north too :) but i use acrylics , i tried a painting in oil , didn't like it much lol didn't like the process of the paint mixing because i dont like to wait for it to dry lol, iv never had classes n i love landscapes too and i miss that sort of country i was brought up around Waipoua forest but now im on the east coast near the sea, painting water was my nemesis but now im not scared to try to paint it , my fav is reflection in water :)
It's so beautiful up here. You know you can apply mediums such as Liquin Original which speeds up the drying time of oil paint? I love Waipoua Forest, we went there the other week 😀
@@SamuelEarpArtist thanks for that i ...might give that a go ...one day lol im on facebook and insta under Jmakitart id love to get ya feed back :)
This was very informative. May I ask what size dagger brush are you using for your foliage? Also, when you state a "bristle" brush, is that the same as a Chungking hog brush? Thank you (Sorry beginner oil painting)
Thank you. I use 1/4" and 3/8" Ivory Daggers and Tisch Daggers which are available from: resemaryandco.com
@@SamuelEarpArtist Thank you
Thanks Sam. Your mixing advice is helpful. What do you use for medium? I use water mixable oils and have incorporated liquin original - seems to work pretty well
I just saw the liquin on the left of your pallette!!
Thanks Bruce. I pretty much just use Liquin as my medium. I maybe start using oleogel in the future as it’s much less toxic than Liquin, however Liquin is convenient 😊
awesome work, I find greens hard to work with :(
Thanks. Yeah greens can be tricky but I hope I can help you with learning how to mix nice greens for landscapes. I'll be posting more videos on painting rural landscapes so stay tuned for those 😀
Nice work Samuel, how did you protect the painting when traveling home, and without getting paint on the interior of your car?
Thanks. My pochade box as a compartment for storing wet panels in the lid of the box. I am using a ‘Blackfoot Lite’ pochade box in this video which stores two 8” x 10” panels in the lid. I also have a standard ‘Blackfoot’ pochade box which store four 8” x 10” panels. They are really intuitive pochade boxes, very well designed with meticulous attention to detail. 😊
Samuel, I have big problem with ultramarine blue and since you are my go-to pigment expert I have dire need of your advice:
I was painting bluebells the other day, and my ultramarine blue didn't seem to have strong enough chroma to make the bluebells stand out.
It seems as though UMB is pretty weak in chroma, although dark, so when adding white, I loose the strength I need.
What do you suggest I do? Would you agree that UMB is not very good to use when looking for high chroma blue, or might my brand of paint be the culprit?
The brand is Beckers, and it is rather unknown these days, but is a premium brand, and even Zorn, the Swedish painter, was an avid user some 100 years ago.
Kindly, if you have time, advise what to do about my high chroma blue issue.
Hello. Interesting, I have not painted bluebells but I growing up in England I am certainly familiar with what they look like. Chroma might not be the issue but the relationship between the other colours and values surrounding them. You could try mixing in a little quinacridone magenta and / or cobalt teal as well. I am thinking off the top of my head here.
Ultramarine blue is probably the colour I use most on my palette (excluding titanium white) as it is so versatile. Don't forget it's a red shade blue. 😀
