How to Paint WATER, TREES and MOUNTAINS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- In this video, I show you how to paint water, trees and mountains. The painting depicts a very familiar view in Queenstown, New Zealand and the view features willow trees growing on the foreshore of Lake Wakatipu, with The Remarkables Mountains in the background.
This painting was a commission and as the view is so well known in Queenstown, I was limited in being able to change the landscape to improve the composition. However, I looked at some old 19th-century paintings and got some composition ideas from them.
I painted this artwork in oils but you can also use acrylics as the principles of colour and tone are exactly the same.
In the video I will explain the following:
1. Composition
2. Colours and brushes
3. Blocking in the painting
4. Tips on painting water, trees and mountains
5. Adding final details
If you would like to paint along with this, check out the link below for the written notes that accompany this video. Feel free to copy the painting and copy / use the reference photos that are in the written tutorial.

you are a master of tone and value which is what makes a successful painting Sam. as they say The values do the work and the colour gets the credit!
Thank you so much Victor 😊
I think this is my favourite of all your paintings as it has everything. You make it look so easy!
Thank you so much 😀
Awsume painting 🖼 can’t wait to try this . Thank you for the amazing tutorial
Bravo! You are a very talented artist. Love your videos, you paint trees better than anyone I've seen on youtube
Thanks Robert 😊
Thanks Samuel. The scene is indeed arresting although exacting and tricky as you rightly point out. But your approach to it is fairly encouraging, simplifying the pathway as it were. A seasoned plein air painter you must be !
Thanks for watching 😊
Stunning, totally stunning.
Thanks Caron 😀
Dude! I absolutely loved this tutorial. On point my man! Great stuff!
Thanks mate, much appreciated 😀
Sam, just watched a video of Andrew's of the two of you painting in the field. I was thinking of how much fun it would be to be able to paint with the two of you. Really love your tutorials. They are such a great help. Also thank you for introducing me to August Wilhelm Leu. Keep applying the pigment my friend, it helps so many of us.
Ah no way, been watching this guy thinking you two have similar styles, maybe its living in new zealand that does it lol.
Thanks for your generosity with these tutorials. I always learn something every time I watch one of your videos.
Thanks

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Thank you so much for sharing what colors you use!! That is so much a part of the learning process.

Absolutely beautiful! The painting itself looks intimidating to new artist but your tutorial was great, the way you break down each step with explanation makes it seem so doable. Will certainly look forward to your other videos. Thanks.
Thank you so much Juliet and thanks for watching 😊
Thank you, Sam. You are such a great teacher. I saw these mountains when I was in New Zealand in February. It was nice to see them again.
Thanks Lorraine 😊
I was looking for a tutorial about mountains and rocks. Good instructions. Clear ..

Sam, your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. You bring a positive energy to the work. And of course the instruction is top notch as well. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks you so much 😊
Hola Samuel, eres una inspiración, tu trabajo parece tan sencillo, pacífico, fácil, tan integrado en la bendita Naturaleza que me anima a retomar los pinceles, con todo lo aprendido ya olvidado, y recomenzar de nuevo... Gracias!!! La suavidad de tu manos sobre tus pinceles, es el contraste con tu fuerte energia en la voz, que se expresa en las poderosas montañas. I love your art.
Muchas gracias por tu bonito comentario, es muy apreciado.
I really love your style of brush strokes. Although I am a learner I try and copy your style. I am a retired Indian Army Colonel, so dont have any intention of becoming an expert artist, but just want to improve and enjoy painting whatever years I am left with. Thank you so much. Colonel Kanwar......... , India
Thank you so much Colonel Kanwar, really please you are enjoying my videos. Cheers. Sam 😊
This was such a great tutorial. Thank you for making this available for everyone
You are so welcome 😊
i enjoyed your tutorial.. I was looking for mountain and rocks tutorial. Thanks.
Excellent description of the colors you use for each section of your painting, which is very helpful! Most artists don't do this. It turned out beautiful. Thank you very much!
Thanks, I really pleased you found this video useful 😀
love this demo and the finished painting is fantastic! thanks, Jo
Thank you so much 🙂
Your command of atmospheric perspective is just great. Really captivating composition. Lovely
Thanks Jeff 😊
You are amazing Sam, thanks mate, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.
Outstanding.
Thanks
Beautiful painting!
Thanks 😊
Thanks 😊
Hey, Samuel!
Very nice painting ....... love the mountains .... beautiful subdued effect. The tree has a very realistic feel to it. As a focal point, a couple of seagulls would maybe do the trick.
Eleo (Norway)
Thanks. This painting was a commission but in hindsight a boat in the water would have helped (I comment on this in the video) 😀
Really great painting.
Thanks
beautiful work sam....i enjoy paintings that make me feel like i am stepping into it.
Thanks Margaret 😀

you are an excellent artist and teacher. i am painting this.
Thank you so much 😀
Wonderful video! I love the muted tones - "low chroma depth" - gives magnificent feeling of depth and distance.
Thanks David 😊
Wonderful painting, awesome and inspiring tutorial, thank you so much Sam to share your knowledge. Blessings & best wishes
Thanks
Thank you. I appreciate the combination of both plein air and studio work. With a watercolour plein air back ground, I’ve hesitated to add to pieces once they are home. I’m going to try it with oils/acrylics!
Please don't stop making these videos
Don’t worry, I’m literally editing the next video at the moment, hoping to have it uploaded in the next few days. More to come 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist nice

Thanks 😊
Great work Sam ! I like your colors … Hope to see you and your friend Andrew in the near future . Thanks Al
Thanks Al 😊
OMG that background is gorgeous! Thank you for allowing us to use this info. Wondering Samuel, how long do you let your painting dry before starting details? (Just one day with liquin?) Your paining this time is totally outstanding! Still want to go there soon. I love it! 💖
Thanks Yovette. With regards to your question the answer is yes you can start adding detail to your painting as soon as it touch dry and if you are using liquin it should be dry the following day.
@@SamuelEarpArtist Thank you Samuel, love this painting!
Excelente Samuel. Aprecio el hecho de q nos des los colores usados en cada paso. Gracias.
Gracias Hector 🙂
Fantastic demo, and gorgeous painting ! Don't add a boat or people or whatever, too cheesy, really. Enough focal points as is, the colours are really beautiful, not too much saturation.
Thanks, I've already given the painting to the customer so I can't add anymore to it!
My absolute favorite my far, truly amazing Sam! I would love a print if one should ever be for sale
Thanks Rusty. As this was a commission I can’t remember if I photographed it or not so I could make prints from it, but if I did I’ll get some prints available from my website 😊
Very very nice. May I ask you how long you wait to varnish and what your favorite products are? You and Andrew rock.
Thanks Linda. If I am going to varnish a painting I wait at least a year for the oil paint to properly dry. However for many artists having to wait a year is too long in which case I use retouch varnish which you can apply straight away once the painting is touch dry. This creates a nice sheen over the painting.
👍🏻

U.r.amazing.ive learned so much from u💞😎
Thanks Jennifer 😀
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH MY FRIEND AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL...NOW I GO TO SLEEP ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
