Michael, in the painting, feels like the Sun is more near the , above the right background canvas, clouds condensing off the mountains, the illuminating affect of the “ pull through “ buildings, loading structures, is of particular attraction, “” you hit it just right”” despite a seemingly effortless taming of the larger brush. I really think you got a beautiful expression this time. Shadow with subtle detail , both vary nicely on the largest building, a sunlit roof, I’m thinking a sprinkle may come from the mountains, seem to see a gentled transparency foreground ❤️
Love this painting so much, Michael! I struggle with painting buildings. Watching you I realize I need to slow down when doing them and really use the brush to make the roof angles. Still tough to do!!!! Ugh. I love the atmosphere in your painting. I bet salt flat paintings are rare too. You did this one so well! Also glad you didn't do a brush line sky (your up and down scribbly marks) in this one. LOL
I was watching and wondering how you were going to get that all into a small panel. I’m glad you didn’t have a smaller brush. I really like the looseness. And it must have been a challenge! I love the outcome. Thank you, Michael.
What a great one! I really love that painting. It reflects the calm atmosphere of that place so beautifully. Also the warm ochre tones in the final painting underline the sunny weather very well, I think. I also like the noises of the boats behind you in the video - looks like a really relaxed spot to paint. So nice to watch :)!
He’s like Fred Rogers but kinder Making magic with a viewfinder Shadow patterns laid in dark; sky keyed to salt More than the sum of its parts; painting’s gestalt The ambient sounds a form of therapy Talent like this is a rarity Patreon’s for those knowing the score Videos, insights, knowledge, all to explore 😁 I’m amazed you got all this on a small panel. The end result doesn’t look cramped. It is so cool watching you try new panel sizes. It is a beautiful painting. Kind of amazed you did it with a bigger brush. The way we can see into the shadows of the buildings is spectacular. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💚
Excellent. I think that painting worked out really well and like the subject matter. There something about isolated buildings in strong sunlight which is very appealing.
Micheal…Very nice composition and painting. I really liked the color choices and wonder why the painting colors looked so different in the final indoor view? Cheers -Greg
I do like this painting. I have to say, the last of projects, with tinted panels, have really appealed to me. Perhaps because of the sienna showing through. Nice work, you fit a lot of relevant information in that small format.
I think, it's really good composition, I mean painting. Cool location! I was wondering in which foods would this all salt end up. lol ... 6:07 Emma's portrait noticed. Looks fantastic! I know you focus mainly on nature or urban painting, but you would be a great portraitist as well. Are there any reasons for preferring nature over portraits? Have a good one!
Thank you so much for your reply and clarifying. I had no idea that was Melina's work. I'm so sorry. But still it's really great portrait. I was confused, because I know, that you painted Emma's portraits in the past. And they are really amazing! Btw. I think your reply to me was removed by TH-cam system for no reason, as some of my past comments.... I don't know why they do that. Cheers!
I really enjoyed watching this. The sounds of the wind rustling and the boats created so much atmosphere and I loved the end result. If you are not happy with the outcome I think you should go back and paint it on a larger scale.👍
So light and bright, really like it! Inspiring! Is this part of the flats in the bay area? Flying into SFO that area just loaded with beautiful images, abstract 'paintings' everywhere!
Hi Michael, just a quick painting related question. I see you sketching and blocking in; the block in starting with the darkest darks, then moving up to lighter values (seemingly randomly?). You mentioned during this painting that you then keyed your painting to the lightest light (the yellowish salt). Meaning that you are going to go over the previous blocked in layers. Are those layers already tacking up by that time i.e. do you use a drying medium for the first block in layers?
Yes, I block in from dark to light. The lighter values are where value is almost more important than accurate color. It's different in every painting but I'm trying to key the mids to the lightest light. Sometimes I'll block in the lightest light first so I can key to it. The first layers will tack up if it's warm out, since I use Liquin, but that's not ideal. I like to paint over the previous layers before they get sticky. I paint thick over thin. The first layers of color are kept thin an the next layer is done with a loaded brush.
turned a friend on to your videos he remarked that after watching a number of them that there must be some guy selling burritos that thinks you are homeless and sleeping in the same clothes in your car. I thought that maybe for a merchandising logo on a blue hoodie you might put I'm not homeless I'm an Artist . Thanks we really are binging on your videos .
I'm no expert but, my eye goes straight to the front where all the light is. The buildings are done very well but slides into the background away from all the front light. All in all its good, but you did ask! So I would turn down some of that light except towards the upper mid part?
Awesome! It is amazing how your brush strokes are so precisely even though you use such a big brush
Thanks!
What a beautiful painting! So inspiring watching your skillful brushwork. Thanks for sharing with us all.
its so relaxing to plaint with you! thanks for your content!!!
😊
Your buildings really rock all the time! Like the format and the subject had such variety. Great job!
Thanks! 😊
Looks good I like it when you mix up your paintings. Another great video
Thanks!

"Taming of the larger brush" love that. Thanks for your observations, Mark!

@@chamberlainpaintings You're welcome, Michael! You pick great spots to paint from. Can't wait for your next video!
Just love your style.
Turned out great. I wish the video was longer.
Thanks!
Nice Job! Like the palette!
Everything you do is magic!
😊
Great sense of light. Always love paintings that have some element of humanity in them. Great distribution of shapes. Really nice.
I was watching and wondering how you were going to get that all into a small panel. I’m glad you didn’t have a smaller brush. I really like the looseness. And it must have been a challenge! I love the outcome. Thank you, Michael.
Thanks, Heather! That small panel was a challenge.
Loved it all so much, you’re a great great painter!
I really like that composition and think it would be worth doing a larger one, maybe in the studio. The background sounds were calming.
I think I’ll go back with a larger panel. 😊👍
What a great one! I really love that painting. It reflects the calm atmosphere of that place so beautifully. Also the warm ochre tones in the final painting underline the sunny weather very well, I think.

Thanks! Yes, it's a nice location to paint. 😊
It's lovely, i really liked how the small panel worked out.
you are one of the best plein air painters I know!!
😊
Your paintings are always come out great, including this one. Composition and your drawing skills always impress me. John
Thanks!
Love the composition. So cool that you take such an ordinary vista and make it to something truly visually strong and coherent!
Thanks, Patricia!
Great job!
I think your painting is great!! Love the colors in it. I’m always inspire by your videos, thank you for doing them!
Looks pretty good to me. It would be interesting to see on a larger panel.
@@chamberlainpaintings cool.

Thanks, Suz! I ended up using my largest brush! I used the number 10 natural bristle. Thanks for another wonderful poem!
Absoluptly love it!!
That's a beautiful painting and I love the format. I think for landscapes having afar objects it's the best.
Thanks, Martin! I agree.
You’ve really been inspiring me to try to paint larger because you’re right, things can get really cramped and fiddly fast!
EXCELLENT Composition, Michael.... I love your colors and perspective and still loose!! well done!
Thanks!
Turned out beautifully!
Thanks!
wow that's soooo perfect💝
good painting, well done to you !
I'm a broken record I loved it
Excellent. I think that painting worked out really well and like the subject matter. There something about isolated buildings in strong sunlight which is very appealing.
Thanks, Frank! Yes, the isolation and open space in the scene really appealed to me.
A wonderful atmosphere bathed in sunlight.
Makes me feel I could just walk into that scene.
Thanks for sharing your gift with all of us 😊👍👍
Thanks, Herman!
Love the video. Really liked the painting too. As always it's inspiring to see someone who has a real grasp of their technique. Thank you as always.
Thanks!
Micheal…Very nice composition and painting.
I really liked the color choices and wonder why the painting colors looked so different in the final indoor view?

OK, that makes sense.
great job💓
Thanks!
Hi Michael! I am really enjoying the art that you have made and am glad that I get to be able to see it! Thank you!!! 🤩
😊
I do like this painting. I have to say, the last of projects, with tinted panels, have really appealed to me. Perhaps because of the sienna showing through. Nice work, you fit a lot of relevant information in that small format.

I'm happy with the outcome but the painting process wasn't as enjoyable as it is with a larger panel.I plan to go back!
So light and bright, really like it! Inspiring! Is this part of the flats in the bay area? Flying into SFO that area just loaded with beautiful images, abstract 'paintings' everywhere!
My own painting would improve if I could do edges like in your paintings. I tend to overlook their importance.
I think edges take a while to figure out. I'll talk about them more in upcoming videos.
@@chamberlainpaintings that would be much appreciated.
