Today was a magical day as I traveled out to Easton, PA to visit Vasari Classic Artists' Oil Color. I met with their amazing team to test out colors for my own set of oil paints. The set will include 11 colors and is very versatile; my upcoming TV series, Eric En Plein Air is all about plein air work, but you could also use this set to paint portraits, florals, still lifes, or anything! As a teacher, we also discussed offering ongoing classes and workshops at their Easton, PA location and their Brooklyn, NY location. Both locations have large, naturally lit studio space and their PA location also has an area to paint en plein air. I am very excited and I will share more updates soon!  *Following Day addendum I was up early to see how the colors look in the morning sun. I still need to do more mixing and painting before I make the selection of 11 colors for my set. If this is a dream, please don't wake me up!

Ridgewood Talks Podcast: "Meet the Artist: Eric Santoli’s Journey from Ridgewood to Monet's Garden"12/31/2025 Here is a special surprise right before New Year's! I'm excited to share this Ridgewood Talks Podcast episode in which we talk about a variety of topics including art, travel, Monet and more! Huge thanks again to Jeanne from Ridgewood Walks and Gil from Ignite Creator Studios! Happy New Year everyone! I'm very proud to share that my painting, Evening on the Pond (2023) just sold through Cimarron Song Gallery in Colorado. I connected with Cimarron Song Gallery while I was living at Claude Monet's estate in Giverny, France. The owner, Greg Packard is an artist himself and did a great job framing the piece as well. Evening on the Pond is still the largest painting that I have ever painted and I am very proud of it. The scene is an evening on Monet's water lily pond in Giverny and it was an ambitious painting for me. I did a study of the scene first and then painted the large canvas. I had to work from the study because the large canvas wouldn't fit through Monet's garden door! I'm very thankful to my patrons and to everyone who has supported my work. I'll be sharing more original pieces soon! Evening on the Pond (2023) | 81cm X 130cm ~ 31" X 52"
I'm so excited to announce that my personal brush sets are now available from Rosemary & Co! I love painting in oils and watercolor so one set is for oil painting and one set is for watercolors. This is seriously a dream come true and I never thought that I'd have my own brush sets with the best brush maker in the world. Thank you to Rosemary and her amazing team for supporting my work!   |
