Pro Arte X Sam Goetsch

Meet Sam Goetsch, watercolour and oil painter based in the USA. Mastering the use of bold and strong colours, Sam is renowned for her vibrant paintings inspired by greats such as Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell. This unique style really helps to define Sam’s vision: ‘Imagery that pops off the wall and makes you stop for a second’. As a Pro Arte Ambassador, we’re proud to support Sam with the best possible brushes!

“I love oils and watercolors for completely different reasons, and each medium gives me something the other can’t. Oils pop off the canvas with their rich, saturated colours whereas watercolor is more about the feeling, the way that the pigments flow and layer creates effects that no other medium can replicate”

As a self-taught artist, Sam had gone from doodling from an early age, to joining art classes at school, to 3 years of dedicated full-time practice. Although art had always been more of a casual hobby, a curiosity and obsession had driven Sam to the constant desire to improve her art. Summed up in the phrase ‘practice makes perfect’, this completely encapsulates Sam’s journey as she describes the huge change in style from that of even a year ago.

While she doesn’t intentionally aim to create a specific style across both watercolour and oil paintings, Sam’s use of colour, light and technique carry through both mediums. Her paintings are built up from several images of a chosen topic to create a ‘Frankenstein’ composition that lays out a totally unique setting. Sam’s popularity came through social media, with her unique artwork resonating with artists to build a strong community off of a series of viral videos. A recent collaboration with Happy Egg Co USA stands as a testament to her expanding recognition as a high quality painter.

"Do exercises. Exercises about composition, about lighting, value, about looseness, color, anatomy, ANYTHING. Small exercises helped accelerate my learning a lot by lessening the pressure from messing up an artwork"
