Thanks! - บันเทิง
So appreciate that you showed yourself struggling with the drawing process. I learned so much more than if you nailed it from the start or edited that part out.
I love the long form video format. I may have to watch this again while painting along. Great video. Thank you
Appreciate the real time drawing. It’s nice seeing the trial and error process. It’s a mental challenge for sure. Thanks.
Yes I definitely like the long video. I'm a beginner and didn't understand how to lay down shadows this video helped me to understand. Best video on painting shadows I've found. I love how this painting turned out. 👍
Thanks Greg, so glad this video helped!
Don't get frustrated! Great advice. But easier said than done on a complicated drawing like this.
Your paintings are so stunning I hope that one day I can reach your level of artistic painting x loving the content have a lovely day
Thanks! Just keep working and enjoy the journey and you'll be amazed at what you come up with!
Great to see the workings as to how you resolve your placement and drawing problems - just how your mind works. It’s a great help to watch this. And how you produce such a wonderful painting.
Oh yes, the more important comment. Love your style, color and teaching videos . Thank you
Fun video because we get to hear you thinking it all out as you go , discovering issues and what you need to do to fix them .That messy stage is always daunting because you can think you can never resolve it all...... and then you do. Nice job on a complicated subject.
Thanks Joyce!
Happy you mention the Schweinn Stingray. The 5 speed ones were the Krate series, red - apple-krate, orange, lemon and so on. I got a 3 speed knock off instead. And some kid store it! Ha.
Yes, I remember the Krate versions of the Stingray, but the one I wanted was the sixties model with the normal front tire, slick in the rear!
I like the transition process. Excellent work of art!!
I love the trike. So good. I have seen your painting on Pinterest. You have a way of teaching that suites me; simple, articulate and not too much fluff. Certainly one that i will follow. I have yet to move over to oils. You make the process seem doable for me. At this time, i am working in watercolors and acrylic. So much to learn, but that for me is the fun part.
Thanks Gabrielle!
It's quite complicated but you made it simple.
I love it! It’s perfect with the red against the grass. Great job on a tricky subject 😉
Thanks!
still writing poetry with your videos in the background, all this time later! really appreciate listening to your ideas (and looking at the beauty of the metaphor) and being engaged in such a similar process. thank you!!
Love that! It makes me happy to know my videos are in the background while you create! 😊
Wow and wow! Wow, what a lot of usefulness and wow, what a complicated subject to draw! Watched it and plan to watch again. While some might have attention span problems with this format, I get pulled into the process and love it so much! Thanks for the long format and helpful dialogue!
Loved the real time format! I found it really helpful to see how you approached the drawing stage too for such a complex object - I'd have been in tears after 10 minutes! Greetings from Germany.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this!
Thank you for your generosity in this fabulous demonstration & commentary
Beautiful work
Thanks Vicki!
Thanks for the real time video Michael. I usually like the quickies with the time lapse. But this was so nice to just sit back with my coffee and relax and spend an hour armchair quarterbacking the drawing phase. You are very good with perspective. It is true it is much easier to see where a stroke should go when you’re watching it on a tiny screen. And not actually the person trying to draw the picture. LOL. Great job!
Thanks Kathy!
Bravo ! a difficult subject for sure, I like the lighting.
Love the long video, it really helps as a beginner. What a cool subject you chose, would never have thought of doing a painting like this on my own. Thank you so much!
I thought this is so cute so I thought, huh, I will give it a go. I really enjoyed the little bike painting. The little wheel in the back of the bike was looking a bit strange and I kept thinking what the heck am I doing wrong here. My wheel was a little too round so it didn’t have that looking from the top appearance so I ovaled it a bit and I think it helped to get the effect . The shadow is just amazing. Thanks for the tutorial for this little bike. Love your paintings and so happy you share your techniques. Thanks
I did a painting almost exactly like this when I was a student at UCSC (Chiarito) back in the 80's. Love your work.
I laughed so hard about your dad getting you a Sears bike instead of the almighty Schwyn bike. Reminded me of my boys. Started giving them money at 10 for Christmas so they could go shopping the day after Christmas and let them find their own gifts. They were so happy and I didn’t have to be hurt watching their disappointment with Moms uncool stuff that I spent time and money finding something they really didn’t care for. Maybe it is a boys thing. Thanks for that hysterical story.
Really enjoyed that Mike , diolch yn fawr .
Loved the longer video! We get to see the problems that you encountered along the way, and how you solved them. This made a really good teaching lesson. Learned a lot and you did a great job of keeping the balance between tight and loose in this peace. Good job and thanks for sharing!
That’s a very helpful demonstration and because it was so detailed you could follow your thought process. It’s also a good exercise to do with a brush rather than a pencil so that you can’t sweat over the detail too much. Excellent result too!
Thanks!
It's great to see your painting process, this one in particular has helped me figure out tone solutions for the shadows and the built over darker darks for the metal. 2 years ago I made a big one with 3 bycicles on the street and it was hell. Btw, it's incredible how you build up the painting from just a sketch in sienna considering the subject. I go by grid when the object is complicated and has a weird angle. You are a big step ahead sketching. Ps: sorry bout the stupid pic on IG today, it was mostly to tease all the women on my family cause they are an army and they are all beautiful...Im known for being irreverent and goofy inside my closed group of people. Today I made it public LOL.
Thanks Martin! Haha, loved your IG today. You gotta tease and have a sense of humor. Especially these days. Everybody's too uptight! 😂
In love with this painting!! Would absolutely hang it up in my room✨
Great taste of photographers! Suggest you take a look at Alec Soth's work. Great informative video as always. Love your work.
I’ll take a look!
I really appreciate the long form, real time. I will listen several more times! Do more of these please.
Will do!
Thank you so much for doing full length videos; your process is so logical; but you achieve results that never fail to impress and/or surprise me. Even when I think “this one’s not working” in the end it always does. The full length video style is a great way to show that one should push through the weird phases and how easy it is to correct seeming disasters.
Yes, you've gotta push through!
Enjoyed the complete process! Thank you!
wow Stephen Shore I get so much from your videos
best video yet! Thank you for the effort!
I love that
congratulations! What a job well done! I liked the result too!
Thanks Joan!
Love your style.
very helpful seeing the long process and how you got there
Your so good it looks so realistic!
Great painting of a difficult subject.
Thanks!
Mike, hello. This is a really great painting, as was your recent one of the pink sneakers. Always love your landscapes and cityscapes, but your talent and style is just as bold with everyday figurative subject matter.
Thanks!!
Had a fun weekend. Your video gave me the confidence to try this. So, I made gesso with pumice boards, printed out your tricycle photo and attempted my first dashed off ( loose) alla prima oil painting from the red tricycle photo. I vowed to not stress and fuss and vowed to go with it however it turned out. I tried to complete it in an hour but it turned out closer to two. But for me, a record. I was really amazed. I’m pretty pleased with it. It has both that that loose painterly feel I want and a messiness I do not want. But when it dries in a few days,
I think I can clean up the messiness without loosing the freshness. I still have a lot to learn but trying this was a really good experience.
Wow, that's great Kathy! 😊👍
Gracias por tu honestidad y sufrimiento. Este video puede ser de mis favoritos, ya que puedo comprobar en vivo la dificultad de pintar. Muy didáctico!
Great! This was so informative. I learned so much from this video. Hope you do more like it. Thank you. Dee
always a joy to watch you paint! I learn a lot
Thanks, I'm so glad!
👍👍👍
So, here’s a question:
When you have the photo reference, you have the edges of your composition ( boundaries of the photo or lines drawn onto the photo to crop it) to judge placement of key points within large shapes. Got that. When doing plein air, is it difficult to judge relationship to edge of the canvas? Do you hold the viewcatcher up while making marks on the canvas, at least until the big shapes are placed. Would like to hear your experiences with this.
I use the viewfinder to get a compositional idea, but I don't usually used it after that. Once I've got the idea, I put down the viewcatcher and start playing around with shapes.
YESSSS Mr.Chamberlain. the painting is awesome✨
Thanks! 😊
Loved this. Had to laugh that everytime I noticed something off you immediately said the same thing! Beautifully done. Oh, and you mentioned having a brother named Kevin, well I have brothers named Michael and Kevin and they, too, would often plan out what they thought was the coolest gift to get together for Christmas. One year when they were about 3 and 4, they wanted football helmets. In January, my mom got an early morning call from the neighbor wondering why the boys were playing football in the snow barefoot and in pajamas at 7am!!! LOL!!! They snuck out of the house just after sunrise and took their slippers off so they wouldn't get wet!! 😂😂 The things little boys will do!!
Thanks Terry! Such a great story. Brings back memories! 😂🙏
Nice job !
This actually took me 3 days to finish watching and it's actually worth it :D Keep up the good work mate!
Love the long form!
Love seeing this new side of you ♥️ I often wonder how difficult it is to talk to the camera and paint. Whomever is going to have this will surely be lucky. We all have had a trike like this at one time. Beautiful ♥️
Thanks Kim!
Beautiful
Listening to you share your thought process while watching is very helpful. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you.
That's really nailing it .
Awesome painting
Thanks!
Creo que estos videos largos que muestran casi todo el proceso son muy interesantes Michael pues se aprende mucho más de esta forma. Gracias por enseñarnos a pintar.
funny you doing this, i did one very similar when I first started plein air and was thinking of revisiting the subject especially as it is a little more decayed. nice job as usual..
Thanks John!
Yes, I absolutely love the long form. It really shows your thought process and it helps a whole lot. As with all your videos, I love your loose technique. It helps me get the stick out of my own ass. It's a bigger struggle than I would've imagined to loosen up and just enjoy it. One thing that your videos don't show (because it comes natural for you) is the struggle that goes on on the palette. Getting the right values and colours is brutal when you're a beginner. Anyway, I'm going to go start on a painting now, with all of this in the back of my mind. I always watch one of your videos for inspiration before I get started. A small technical suggestion: get one of those clip-on microphones so your voice has less roominess ;)
Glad you enjoyed the long form! I'll be doing more like it. Unfortunately my camera doesn't have a port for an external mic. I'm operating on a shoestring budget here! 😂
just stumbled on your channel and i love your content!!
I’m so glad! 😊
you just speak and touch,, , real time is so nice ,
stunning!! i hope i can be this good one day
Thanks! Just keep going and you'll be surprised where the journey takes you!
so talented
Thanks 😊
I love the confident brush stroke talk, I totally agree. It helps up you to feel confident while you are working also! Fake it till you make it right? 😂 is the pre stroke waggle to aid with the confident stroke? I might try this 👍
The waggle is unconscious. I wasn’t even aware of it until I started editing videos. I’ve noticed other painters do it as well.
Love the real time!!!! Thank you!
Glad you like!
Love it
Always inspired to paint after watching your video’s, thanks
Glad you find them inspiring!
Good job. Landscapes are a lot easier drawing wise than man made objects, aren’t they?
Thanks! Yes, they are. Landscapes are a lot harder to compose tho!
Love your paintings, wish I could paint as loose! You put a coat of retouch varnish on your pieces before you frame them. Do you recommend a more permanent varnish 6 months to a year after completion? Also, you’re really good at drawing, any artist parents, grand parents?
Niiice. I once sketched a biker's Harley. About 20 minutes in he sez "how hard can it be? you can draw 2 round circles." I told him circles are never round. He let out a big laugh. I let out a sigh of relief.
😂👍
first class video!! and very instructive!! thanks for that!!
omg! Thank you for ‘eating the elephant one bite at a time’! ;-) It’s so helpful to have your stream of consciousness as you go along. And to know that we all struggle in the ‘messy middle’. (I guess that’s more in reference to your other vids this week.) I’m on a major cross-country trip at the moment, so catching things as I can. (Moving our [adult] daughter to NOLA (New Orleans) for grad school! - in the RV = COVID safe way to go!)
Nice!
i love this. New subscriber :)
Welcome!
Loved it.
Are you using a synthetic brush here? It looks kinda soft
Yes 😊👍
Great video, great format. New sub. This is oils right?
Yes, I only paint in oils 😊👍
Hi, what colors did you use to mix the pinkish beige of your sidewalk, it is lovely. I like the fact that it still has some chroma despite how light it is. Thanks.
Honestly I can’t remember. Probably permanent rose, cad yellow medium, and white 😊👍
Yes, he does, his tone seems to paint, , ,
Love the long video!!! Thank u so much
What about painting in public. How do you handle it. I’m actually fairly competent, and I want to do it, but far too self conscious and freaked out to do it. Your paintings and vids are great.
You could look for a somewhat private place for your first few paintings. Most people get over the fear once they're set up and painting. The process requires so much focus it's hard to think about anything else once the brush is in hand. Just go for it and enjoy!
When you work from a photo do you work from a print or do you have it on a screen and if so, what kind? I pad?
iMac 😊
( yes it is feeling nice )
Should the shadow on front wheel be stretched out a bit or you looking at a different perspective
Quite a nice little oil sketch. I'm sure given time that you would have changed some details. eg the back wheel tyre is too thick on the bottom section (as we're looking at it from above) and the shadow of the front tyre needs to be stretched out into an oval shape.
(. -- -- soothing voice michael : ). -- ) . .. ...
; ). , that was nice
( ( , , might that mid- step out a bit , higher a bit, top seat, size ok, , , up bar a bit much maybe, but, still looks you will have a rideable tricycle )
- michael, it was like going with , going along in your explained thoughts, in a soothing inception of , as it happened , felt as therapeutic as creativity can be, no pressure, no rush , but productive, immediately productive, hey, “” Series presentation # 2 maybe”. ; )
Love the longer videos how would I send you my first painting so you can tell me y my tree in the font won’t show up from far away
Seen a crow , for a second, does not matter, dark becoming in,
.
This comment was next level 🌟
chamberlainpaintings -- MICHAEL , you know, earlier I was typing too long on a response, I keep rambling on, but I love channel and your Creativity ; )
Interesting that you concentrated on the form of the bike first. Appreciate the commentary and struggle. I would have quit halfway through...lol.
I’d love some chamberlaincoffee.eu
