This is how Monet approached his work. Good to see a master metamorphosise in one so young. Screw details . They won’t make your work better. Love this. Smart approach on the bridge wires.
Happy Father’s Day to you! And thank you for sharing your painting today. I never get tired of seeing the San Francisco Bridge. My favorite takeaways from your narrative are the vanishing point mark (duh!), getting your darker color trees in first to use for reference, use of the larger brush to not get too picky too early and leaving out lots of detail as the viewer can and will automatically “fill in the gaps”.😊
I like the thumb nail pic showing the corner of bldg and foreground cement framing the bridge in distance . That would make for a nice large size painting imo. Good job Michael
love how the bridge towers frame the vanishing point, and the street aims right in there too.. no "happy accident" there; i bet it's more about a history of worn "shoe leather" ! SF has street views that look like drone shots ❤
Good morning Michael. Another Sunday and another wonderful painting! You do not need the straightedge for perspective; the trees in the foreground and the lightened green hillside anchoring the bridge do enough.
Wonderful! I’m new to your channel and definitely enjoy to watch your videos and follow the process. I’m German and also like to listen your short on point explanations. Your paintings are awesome, great compositions, color palette and textures. You’re very sympathetic Michael. Thank you for sharing.💫
Leaving out the abundant 'smallies' makes this creation, to me, authoratative and appealing - an artist's worthwhile impression of this storied location. Sorry to be pompous, tee hee, but I really like this style of creation. Continue to wish you well.
Hello from the east coast...NC. 👋.. I'm so glad I found you here on youtube!!! I'm just getting back in to oil painting after experimenting with dry pastels. Thank you, I'm catching up with yr channel. At first they were all years old. I finally found you only hours old. 😂
Once again you've done a great painting. You mention using gray several times. I have a hard time making a gray. Any suggestions on how to to make both a cool as well as a warm gray. thank you for your great videos!!
The gray I'm using just naturally forms on my palette after mixing for a while. If I want to mix a gray from scratch I'll mix two compliments with a bit of titanium white. For example, ultramarine and burnt sienna with a touch of titanium white. More ultramarine will make the mix cooler, more burnt sienna will make the mix warmer.
Sometimes. More often I’ll use a photo on my phone. I only use the photo to get a few key lines in place and then I work from life. I use the photo like a thumbnail sketch.

Love the nearly Fauve simplicity. The way you handled the bridge cables is great. Your color gradations in the water work very well.
It felt Fauve to me as well! I made sure to stop before losing that effect.
Hope you have a great Father’s Day! Beautiful painting. Love the blue greens in the water. You can feel the cool SF atmosphere.
same here about the cool atmosphere
Thanks!
I love Sunday morning and my routine which always includes Michael's videos. Thank you!
😊
I always enjoy watching you paint on location. Thanks for sharing your thoughts while painting. Each time I learn something new from your videos.
Happy Father's Day, Michael! Love, love, love when you paint the San Francisco bridge!!!!! Beautiful!
Thanks Kay!

Good morning Michael. Another Sunday and another wonderful painting! You do not need the straightedge for perspective; the trees in the foreground and the lightened green hillside anchoring the bridge do enough.
Thanks Gary!

Very nice. I've switched to bristle because they seem to hold up longer.
Lovely ty for another good demo

another gorgeous piece and helpful video, Michael - thank you!!
Great job, love the technique you used on the bridge.
Absolutely beautiful, you art is tremendous x
Thanks Andrew!
I love how lose your work is. I feel I'm too tight with my brush work
Loosening up is a challenge. It really helps to break things down into shapes!
- 7:10 - “‘Dream Factory’’ , ( freeze, enlarge to screen size , then look around ) , psychic creativity Michael . ( thank you )
Great!
Lovely as usual! Thank you
Better and better!

@@chamberlainpaintingsThank you Michael!!
beautiful. do you use a viewfinder for you compositions?
Sometimes. More often I’ll use a photo on my phone. I only use the photo to get a few key lines in place and then I work from life. I use the photo like a thumbnail sketch.
do you enjoy painting outdoor scenes when it's overcast?
No, I prefer sun for most subjects.
Why the rubber gloves?
