Yes you can. You can create a similar colour to cobalt teal with ultramarine blue, phthalo green and titanium white. The colour is not as punchy as cobalt teal but it still works 😊
I generally mix the blue I have used for the sky into the landscape. You started with ultramarine blue then used cobalt in the foreground and shadow - for me it loses a connection what do you think Sam?
Was the one thing starting with the darkest colour first? Just to clarify for the comments section please. That’s what I understood from the video and the details in the description.
Hey Emma, yes it was. I realised in the video I should have done a summary at the end. Painting the darks first made my landscape paintings look much better 😊
I always have trouble deciding how detailed to make different objects-like the fence posts and the cows. Is there a rule of thumb? Or just practice? :-)
Sorry, yes I should have been a little more clear. It was painting the dark values first. In hindsight I should have summarised this point at the end of the video. I hope you still enjoyed it and found it helpful 😊
I’m sorry ,but ‘the one thing you changed’ factor ,has escaped me. I suspect click baiting here ,or did it just get lost in a delivery that was too longwinded.
He began the video by saying he begins with darks first and ends by saying that as well, so I took it to mean that was the one thing that really changed the way he paints…but you are correct, he sure didn’t drive home the point why it is so important and how it improved his painting.
My apologies I realised from the feedback that I could have been a little clearer in this video about the one thing that made my landscape paintings look better. It is indeed painting the darks values first. In hindsight I should have reinforced this point at the end of the video. I hope you still enjoyed it and found it helpful 😊
@ Thanks Samuel for your comments. I did enjoy the video and I am going to try your suggestions with painting more darks earlier. I have been painting a series of this very subject for the last 6 months and am starting to get to grips with it ,I think.
You can blame RUclips (and people’s messed up attention spans) for that. There’s a reason so many titles look like that, and it’s because they work better than titles that don’t.
@@SamuelEarpArtist I make art videos myself and actually just experience that first hand. Posted a video and it had a miserable 1.5% click through rate, changed the title to make it more intriguing and it jumped to 6.5% almost immediately. We gotta do what works, keep up the good work man
I consider that many people might be watching my videos for the first time. Also the reason I repeat the same concepts is so the more you watch my videos the more you will understand them. I learn best through repetition 😊
@@SamuelEarpArtist You can still do repetition, just videos apart. Like Paintcoach for example, talks about all art fundamentals but varies the topic from Perspective, form, to composition, to color to edges. All I hear from your videos is about color nothing else which is a shame. Jumping back and forth to keep it fresh while still iterating the fundamentals is what I would suggest. But just my opinion
Excellent!! As always!!! Thank you!
Thank you too! 😊
Nice Sam great finished pic!
Thanks so much! 😊
More shots of the beautiful countryside there. Thanks your good
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Thank you a good recap.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😊
Thanks Sam, beautiful work as always, you are so generous with your time and info, very much appreciated
Kind regards from Australia 👍
Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you for your information and beautiful art
Thanks so much 😊
Fantastic advice as usual ... thank you
You're very welcome! 😄
If I don't have a cobalt teal then can I create some and how?
Yes you can. You can create a similar colour to cobalt teal with ultramarine blue, phthalo green and titanium white. The colour is not as punchy as cobalt teal but it still works 😊
Does Rosemary have a Samuel Earp brush set? Can you make a recommendation for plein air painting?
Not yet but I am going to ask them 😊
I generally mix the blue I have used for the sky into the landscape. You started with ultramarine blue then used cobalt in the foreground and shadow - for me it loses a connection what do you think Sam?
I added a tiny amount of cobalt teal in some of the shadows however I had also used it in the sky 😊

Wonderful job. Thank you.
Many thanks! ☺️
I appreciate you sharing the colors that you mix to get the shade of green you want. Do you use a medium or thinner with the paint also?
My pleasure. As this was a plein air painting I used Liquin. When painting in my studio I use non toxic mediums such as Oleogel or Pale Drying Gel.
I always have trouble deciding how detailed to make different objects-like the fence posts and the cows. Is there a rule of thumb? Or just practice? :-)
I understand this issue. Generally I don’t go overboard with detail but the details I add to my paintings I save for the foreground of my landscapes 😊
Cut out the so called music. It doesn't help infact it's distracting. 🙄
What was the “one thing you changed” ??? Did I miss something?

Getting a bit click-baity.

That’s exactly the reason for using click-bait titles!

Nice, but why talk about the same things video after video? Maybe you could vary the topics a bit
