STOP OVERWORKING EVERY BRUSH STROKE…
"Paint Bold, Expressive Landscapes Without Perfection Holding you back"
Join Now & Let Go of Perfect
"Never did I think I could paint outdoors like this! I use to freeze every time I set up. Now I'm filling pages with movement and colour - I actually enjoy the process! - Karen Summer*****
You head outside to paint. The light is beautiful, your sketchbook is ready. But then it happens...
'' You freeze, second-guessing every mark"
'You get stuck in the detail, chasing 'accuracy" until the spark fades"
"You're embarrassed showing rough landscape studies: you hide 'unfinished' work"
'You desperately want that looseness you see in other artists' work. The kind that feels ALIVE with colour and movement!"
'By the time you're done, the freshness of the moment is gone"
You Are Not Alone!
I was there too! Many artists feel this huge frustration - the disconnect between what they see and feel in nature and what appears on their paper or canvas. This isn't about your lack of skill. This is about perfectionism. And it's stealing your joy. It's finally time to silence the inner critic so you can let the landscape breathe.
Now imagine this instead...
You set up outdoors, brush in hand, and you actually feel FREE.
You move quickly, capturing colours, mood and light without the fear of 'getting it wrong'.
Your sketchbook fills with expressive marks, bold colours, and painting that feel ALIVE!
You finish a session outdoors breathing easier, your sketchbook full of spontaneous colour & motion, and you can’t wait for the next outing.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE TRANSFORMATION 'PLEIN AIR ABSTRACTS PART 2' IS DESIGNED TO DELIVER.
Who This is For:
You LOVE painting landscapes, but your results are overworked.
You LONG to loosen up, but fear mistakes or "ugly" outcomes.
You want to capture the FEELING of a place, not just replicate it's details.
This isn't for you if you only want photo-realism and have no interest in expression, abstraction, or freedom in your painting.

WHY THIS WORKS
Unlike other courses that focus only on technique, 'Plein Air Abstracts Part 2' blends together:
Structure for Steady Creative Growth
Every module follows the same learning pattern. You watch me work outdoors, seeing how I interpret the scene, then we review and discuss the studies and I give you step-by-step guidance to apply to your own work.
Inspiration and Play
I give you 'permission to be messy'. We are getting rid of your perfectionism and with me there to encourage you along. In just days you’ll see sketchbook pages fill with expressive marks; within weeks your outdoor paintings will feel alive with movement and less rigidity.
Mindset Shifts
The course is also holistic. There are tools inside to help you fight your inner critic. The Artist's Self-Evaluation Tool Kit has been made to help you paint with courage.
Proven Teaching Style
Sam has helped thousands of artists go from 'tight and timid' to 'bold and expressive' because she's walked the path herself!

Meet Your Award-Winning Tutor
Hi, I’m Sam Boughton
For years, I battled with perfectionism. My plein air paintings felt safe, tight, predictable. I knew something had to change. Through a long journey of trial and error, and lots and lots of sketch-booking, I found a way to let go: focusing on expression, mood and mark-making over detail.
Now I've turned those discoveries into a structured course so you can skip years of frustration and find your expressive voice much faster.

Can’t wait for you to feel the transformation too!
