STUDENT EXPERIENCES
“I would say the most important things I learned are : strong and readable value structure, color temperature relationship, not using too much colors to keep the result harmonious, all of these rules are huge keys for a good painting… I found each week so useful, very well explained, with lots of advice, lots of color demos, it was perfect!”
“This class was sooo helpful, it definitely changed the way I work and it’s the BEST investment I made to progress. Thank you so much Sam you’re such a good teacher! Thank you Underpaint Academy for offering such high quality classes !”
—Clémentine
“I learned to simplify and understand film shots, photos, and the master artworks. One of my favorites was the use of color temperature and harmony too.”
—Roy Magaño
“I’ve been a fan of Sam’s work for years, so it was a great opportunity to meet and learn directly from him. Sam is very calm, humble and really thoughtful with his teaching style. I was impressed by his off hand knowledge about many aspects of painting, and it was amazing to see him paint over my work, and point out areas I was weak in. I would recommend this class for intermediate students, I think coming into it with a decent understanding of light and color, and photoshop fundamentals gives you a much better starting point to absorb Sam’s lessons.”
—Patrick Horan
