Meet Your Award-Winning Tutor

Hi, I’m Sam — a landscape artist lucky enough to call the rolling hills of South West England my home.

As a child, I’d hop on my bike and disappear down country lanes with a sketchbook tucked under my arm, trying to capture the wild beauty around me. I didn’t want perfect drawings — I wanted energy, movement, and that feeling you get when nature stirs something inside you. Maybe you’ve felt that too?

But like so many artists, I struggled with perfectionism. I thought I had to get it “right” — until I learned that the real magic happens when you let go. When you make space for mistakes, loosen your grip, and trust your instincts. That’s when my work began to change… and so did I.

• Winner of the Ronald Searle Award for Creativity
• Long-listed for the Kate Greenaway Award
• Winner of the 2020 Brownston Gallery Award

What matters most to me is this: helping you experience the same creative freedom I fought so hard to find.

I made this course to share everything that transformed my art — from the techniques to the mindset shifts — so you can stop holding back and start creating with joy, energy, and confidence.

Can’t wait to see what you create!

Love Sam x
