Really like the give and take between you and other painters when you paint together. Would love to see more of this, and maybe just some sit downs with other painters to discuss painting; maybe a duo Q&A, where you both give your answers to questions
@@chamberlainpaintings You could always do kitchen talks where painters bring in some of their work and talk about the decisions they made making their paintings......it will appeal to us nerds in the audience........lol
It’s so nice to be able to have a friend to paint with. I agree that sometimes the hardest thing is to figure out what is wrong in a painting. You know something is not right, but what exactly!?! Great idea to paint those fishing boats.😊 Once again, thanks for the inspiration which keeps 😁me motivated to get out there and paint!
it’s so wholesome to see how you just living your live & sharing your drawing process. Also how you & your friends help eachother every time to perfect your drawings!
Great work to both of you, especially love the backlit painting. What I liked about this vid is the back and forth between you two; found it entertaining and educational
“Put in the sky dude, it will change your life.” I love that! I think that you both did very well. I am with you, I always like to start with the objects in the far distance and then work towards the foreground. Great video. I really loved your second 30 minute painting, with the fishing boats. Fantastic.
All three paintings are awesome… the lucky buyer of the first one essentially gets two chamberlain works for the price of one b/c you painted over an old work :). Also loved the sunlit effects on the third painting
Great video! I enjoyed watching how magical it seems to cut in. It’s flat, then voila! We have a dimensional object! The water glare paintings are wonderful! That’s quite a challenge. Thank you both. 😎
Great paintings from both of you!! I enjoyed how you guys were helping each other.. it’s always nice to have someone to bounce ideas with and see with a fresh eye…For me, I love painting over old paintings, it gives me freedom to screw up, I already did! 😊And in a strange way, the old painting helps me with values..
Love the interaction between you both and the paintings are super. These videos really help keep me stoked about plein air painting. The Welsh winter is just starting to do it’s worst in the hills, tempting me to hibernate in the studio.
Thanks! It was nice to be in Southern Cal for a few days. It's starting to get cold up here near San Francisco. I'm guessing you get ice and snow where you are?
@@chamberlainpaintings the snow and ice isn’t reliable but wonderful when (if) it arrives. Currently we’re going through the rain & sleet phase but that has its beauty. The weather energy is great, visceral but not ideal for painting outside. Still, it’s great fun trying to express the wildness in paint once safely at home. All the best🎉🎉
We sure do have it easy, but many of the best paintings come out of that personal struggle throught the elements. keep us inspired and get out there if you can. that being said, theres nothing wrong with a good studio painting.

Fantastic job, guys! Great paintings, sir! All paintings are amazing, but the third one (with ships in it) is really brilliant! You captured the light (on the water) brilliantly. It's so cool. Have a good one! Greetings from the EU!
Wow! ... The fishing boats on the horizon ... And the glare! ... I don't think it could have been painted any better ... Was that a 30 minute one? What size?
Thanks Nancy! The boats on the horizon is 11x14". It started out as a 30 minute painting but I'm not actually sure how long it took since Ariah and I were talking and forgot to set the timer. Definitely under an hour.
This was great seeing you guys paint over old paintings. When you sanded the old ones, was it just to remove the high paint spots? It would be cool to see the before and after. Great learning, thanks Michael!
Michael, 9:58 , incomplete I know, but see a bleeding sky to sea as “” a full statue with long hair looks upon your creativity in progression , ( statue left side off canvas )
Wow. The paintings are very impressive. Like having something in the foreground, main subject in mid ground and distant view leading the eye. Impressive seas for the first location - was worried at one point whether the painting and you might tip over into the sea over the cliff - felt more like 'extreme painting'!! like the energy that both of you put into the paintings. not sure i can get my paintings down to 30mins - takes me that long to set up.
Thanks Paul! I didn't catch it on camera but at one point a huge wave broke against the rocks and sprayed both palettes and paintings. Thankfully we were just finishing up.
Amazing paintings! I really like the second one, it reminds me the beaches in Theoule, South of France. I wanted to know, how do you choose the paintings you paint on? They were forever unfinished or you didn't like them? I have many paintings I never finished that I can't get rid of because I feel like they are a proof of my progress but they end up hidden in a box. I should definitely consider repainting on them! Life cycle of a canvas? :D

Hello from Sonoma County. Looks great! I paint over old paintings a lot. I'm an acrylic painter, so it's pretty easy. I'll have to try your sanding down method. If you ever come up to the Sonoma Coast I can recommend a lot of great beaches. I'm out there about 3-4 days a week.
Absolutely beautiful coastal paintings. Ove the 30 min sketches, theyre so fresh and painterly. I love seeing you with different artists. How do you find them?! Plein air artists are so niche. D': Greeting from Oregon! :D
I've flown with oil paints many times and never had a problem. Look up the restrictions for flying with liquids. Oil paints are vegetable oil based so they're no different from flying with toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
@@ariahmyles perfect. Thanks for that info Ariah. Wanted to fly soon with my kit of 40 ml paints but didn’t want to get them confiscated over a technicality. Good watching you and Michael paint Cheers
hahaha, remember how that camera indeed got blown by the wind, that was so sad. haven't realized you haven't painted with Ariah at Malibu in such a long time. Also yeah, weren't you painting a lighthouse there or smt when that camera accident happened
Like most people I use acrylic gesso. You can paint oil over acrylic but not acrylic over oil. I could buy oil primer and I may do that at some point. HOWEVER, I love the surface of a sanded oil painting. It takes the paint beautifully. I also love painting over an old painting because the finished painting often has bits of the original work showing through. It gives the new painting a complexity that is impossible to achieve when painting alla prima on a blank canvas.
This is the exact problem i was facing..... a bunch of failed paintings stacking up. oil primer is great, but it's expensive and takes a long time to dry. and like michael mentioned, you can't use acrylic gesso over an old oil painting, plus, who's that prepared? (kidding). But thanks Ray for the question . I had wondered the same for a long time.

Thanks Douglas! I've been thinking about doing some podcast style interviews. I need to figure out the technical stuff.
@@chamberlainpaintings You could always do kitchen talks where painters bring in some of their work and talk about the decisions they made making their paintings......it will appeal to us nerds in the audience........lol
the Q&A with other artists you do paintings with is a great idea.
@@paulclarke3086 I think it could be fun. Stay tuned 😊

I like that painting Michael did as well.....
you’ve taught me everything i know about painting thank you 🫶
Beautiful paintings Michael and Ariah, as always. Love the looseness, the backlit boats and the glare on the water. So well done.
Thanks Maura!
You would have killed it maura!
@@ariahmyles haha - you are kind, Ariah, but my relationship with seascapes is rocky, at best. You and Michael slayed, as always.

You both did a fabulous job capturing the excitement of the water!
Thanks Sharron!

This was great seeing you guys paint over old paintings. When you sanded the old ones, was it just to remove the high paint spots? It would be cool to see the before and after. Great learning, thanks Michael!
Thanks Miriam! Yes, the sanding is to remove the high spots and the thicker brush strokes.
yes i try and remove those hgh paint spots as well, but some leftover texture can help if thats the effect you like.
@@ariahmyles thanks!
Beautiful paintings gentlemen!! 30 minute painting is in!!🎨
Thanks Cedric!
@@chamberlainpaintings you're quite welcome 🍻
Thank you Cedric!!
@@ariahmyles you're very welcome 🍻 the two of you are a powerhouse!! I gotta get on your team. The mighty trio!
Killer pieces from both of you!!!
Thanks Alvin!

Gorgeous works

It was a bit precarious, but we're out there to feel that energy, aren't we? but yes, Michael almost got swept away 😂
Great to see you using Rosemary and Co brushes
Ariah uses Rosemary and Co. Very nice. I'll have to order some.
i do use those for the most part
Michael 11:11 , upper right canvas , see “” a giant roaring Grizzly “” that has become the rock, a regal splendor “”
Thanks for your observations Mark!

Thanks! Most of the paintings I paint over are older paintings that are finished but didn’t work out. Yes, giving them new life!

Thank you Mark. So thoughtful in your analysis. I have a lot to look back on now when i analyze this one! you are a true seer of the subtle...
Was painting today and said "I don't like it but I don't know what's wrong with it.." so I totally feel that.
Happy Thanksgiving Michael and everyone here.
Thanks Tim!
wonderful sharing........ very amazingly done too..... wish you good luck
Thanks!
You have certainly been in your groove, man.
Thanks Dennis!

wow, I look forward to painting up there one day
What is that set up called with the easel and pallet etc
Absolutely beautiful coastal paintings. Ove the 30 min sketches, theyre so fresh and painterly.
I love seeing you with different artists. How do you find them?! Plein air artists are so niche. D':
Greeting from Oregon! :D
Thanks! I've met a lot of artists through my TH-cam channel. I've met a few other via Instagram.
I forced him to paint with me. kidding, i contacted him via social media and he was more than gracious in allowing a novice painter to tag along.
As usual thanks for the Sunday paint lessons. Curious about flying with paints are you able to take 40 Ml tubes on plane with you ?
I've flown with oil paints many times and never had a problem. Look up the restrictions for flying with liquids. Oil paints are vegetable oil based so they're no different from flying with toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
@@chamberlainpaintings yeah I thought so. Just wanted confirmation from a pro. Exception understandably No turps or flammables .
Thanks
(as long as it's in your checked bag!!)
@@ariahmyles perfect. Thanks for that info Ariah. Wanted to fly soon with my kit of 40 ml paints but didn’t want to get them confiscated over a technicality.

Cheers
Good Morning Michael 😎
Good morning Mark 😊
@@chamberlainpaintingslocation looks so different there, still waking up here , good to see you both out doing art.
Michael, at 10:39 the free standing rock, it has such a human silhouette, just left, OFF the canvas, hairline, nose , chin faces right
hahaha, remember how that camera indeed got blown by the wind, that was so sad. haven't realized you haven't painted with Ariah at Malibu in such a long time. Also yeah, weren't you painting a lighthouse there or smt when that camera accident happened
Yes, we were painting the lifeguard tower
👍🖼️🖌️🎨
😊🙏
i wish i had a friend kike that, just paint together. no drama 🙃😍
I really enjoy painting with people who aren't afraid to check their ego. No competition just working together on problem solving. 😊
@@chamberlainpaintings humbled to paint alongside you my friend
seek that out. you can find like minded people, and it will help you grow. (and yes it is very nice)
Why in the heck don’t you just re-gesso the reused canvas? Not enough tooth for it to really stick/ stay?

(kidding). But thanks Ray for the question . I had wondered the same for a long time.

Tiny brush
I was using 6 and 8 flats same as usual
@@chamberlainpaintings oh but then I was watching at 3am so I got muddled lol
your videos gave me a push to start painting 😄
do it!!!
