Thanks! - บันเทิง
I’m really enjoying your channel. I’m just looking at starting to paint oils moving from Watercolor. I like your approach from beginning to end and will be trying this out in the next week.
I loved the way you added the reflective sunlight on the waves. Just the right balance needed.
Thank you.
This video should be retitled as "The magic of painting"
😊
Loved watching this, Mike. Love your troubleshooting explanations at the beginning too.
I struggle a bunch with saturated, high key, luminous colors in oil - oranges, pinks. Best solution I’ve found is to either rub out the underpainting back to the white gesso, or apply titanium white and let it dry in the area I want to saturate. Then I come in with a transparent color like quin magenta or transparent orange and glaze in the saturation over the existing tone. I find it super difficult to get to the desired saturation if I’m working on wet paint.
Alternatively I’ll just tone the whole canvas something outrageous and bright and block in where I don’t want the saturation showing. 😂 But I do a lot of really bright red sandstone fm types of paintings that involve lots of those colors.
Thanks again for sharing, really like watching these real time process ones!
Good suggestions! I find can often get the effect I'm after with a few touch ups after the painting dries. Glad you enjoyed!
You made me an artist !!! Thankyou 😃
Nice work. I enjoy watching your videos.
I’m still a beginner but I might try this soon, beautiful sunset!!
So pretty!
I love the longer form and hearing your thought process as you are painting. Thanks!
You make really great videos! They make oil painting less intimidating and it encourages people to try it out. I love that experiment a lot and tell people to just go for it!
Very informative. You can see colors and shapes that most painters miss and I hope you paint a larger one in the future.
I love watching your videos they are relaxing and rly informative too❤
Loved this real time video. I felt like I went through the creative process with you and I learned a lot. Please make more like this. An interesting thing about the subject your choose, the cool colours were in the foreground and the warm colours were in the background.
As a Florida painter, I needed this. Also I am going to use smaller canbvases for studies.
At 24:15 some of the toned canvas comes through giving a nice luminating color for the reflected light on the water. It's real nice! ⛱
Killer job on the sunset, very convincing feel of light.
I've done a lot of sunsets and there is always the danger of making them saccharin. You might try this method that I use all the time and learned from Dennis Sheehan: he starts a painting like this with the larger house brushes (2 inch or larger, depending on the size of the canvas of course). You can google him to see that he's a master of the sunset (he's also a tonalist-think George Inness, etc.). Lay in the colors at first, darker and less saturated than you think (this is the block in). Don't bother putting any brighter yellows or white, unless you want a very warm underpainting in that area. Then go in and create your sun or brightest areas in the sky by using a paper towel or rag (cotton Q-tips work too), to rub out/off the paint. Use terps if you need to get the really light spot of say the sun or moon. Remember, darker is always better to start off with; you can always lighten or add more saturation to the darker areas, but I would let the sunset sing and support that solo with toned down and less saturated colors surrounding those areas that are center stage. Like you said, too many people want to let every portion of the painting have the spotlight and the whole suffers because of it. With sunsets you actually need a lot of muted colors for support. It is hard at first, but start with fewer colors. I've seen him create a beautiful sunset painting with only two colors: burnt sienna and thalo green. He could use white, but he wants to show the artist the importance of tone above all. Of course he normally uses an array of colors, but sometimes he wants to show how tone is the most important thing and wants beginners not to be overwhelmed with too much.

Here he is years ago on public TV in the Boston area using two colors and he makes it look much easier than it really is (after painting thousands of these paintings): drive.google.com/file/d/0B6V0zC1unnQoRVYwQk8taWFSemc/view?usp=sharing
Thanks for the info!
Fantastic painting. Love all of the soft brushwork and palette.
Thanks! 😊
Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing your passion with us 💗
Thanks!
Your rolling chair sounds like breakers. LOL! I enjoyed your problem-solving comments on the study as you went along. I'm intrigued by how you air stroke into your lines and angles before you lay down paint. I'm going to give that a try, it might help prevent me from overworking areas.
Wow I was just about to indulge in a quick video before work and see that this is 38 minutes long! I’m so excited! I love when you do longer videos. Will hold off for my lunch hour or after work. 😀
i love this so much ! you should do a video where emma tries to copy ut paintings i would love that
That would be fun to watch!
Oh nice! It's always great to see how a good painter builds up a painting...thanks for this. It's incredible the way you take your "artistic licence" out of your plein air experience and give the painting a personal touch to improve the photo.
Thanks Martin!
you’ve done a great job! the result looks amazing! i’m definitely going to try painting
Thanks!
you make the best videos I really love your channel and thank you a lot for this video it helped me to much. your paints are the best for me
I love this painting! It was really fun to get to experience the process in real time. Makes me want to go to the beach for sunset, but that can’t happen right now. This will do for now. Great work!
Thanks! 😊
Love this painting thank you.
Very effective!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this
This is amazing! I love it.
Happy Birthday hope you have an amazing day 🥳🥳
Thank you! 😊
Truely amazing. The sky indeed is beautiful but the water I felt was tough but you made it look so easy and beautiful
Beautiful light! You are a wonderful painter of water, another wonderful video and painting
Thanks!
Beautiful Mike, I can taste the sea salt on my lips 😁🎨
oh my gosh it's so pretty!
Loved it!!
Great channel Mike! Enjoying the painting and your narration. You should play some guitar too...you've got phenomenal chops. Hope you are well in all this covid craziness. Shane (Colin's brother)
Thanks Shane! So good to hear from you. Things are good. Hope the same for you!
Wow it looks so pretty!!
Thanks!
Fun to watch beginning to end. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mary!
Beautiful, one of my favourites from you so far. 💙
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful! And yummy to watch!
Thanks Nina!
I'm sorry if you've already answered this question, but what is the main reason artists cover canvas with burnt sienna ? to get warm undertones or something else ?
Yes,, that’s why I do it. 👍
@@chamberlainpaintings okay, thank you !
Love it. Gorgeous light and lumination. I kinda think that the sun's a little too round with the clouds over but I see something different from your others. (All which I love also, lol ). Big fan! 😁
Thanks! I think I may agree with you regarding the sun. I often times stop and let the painting dry so I can experiment without muddying up the colors. So glad you like my work. 😊
Love it . You mentioned you would go a larger size , what would be your ideal size for canvas . Also what was your yellow and purple color you had used . Thank you .
If I go larger it would probably be 16x24" or larger. A larger panel would allow for more expressive brushwork. As for colors, I used cadmium yellow medium and dioxazine purple.
. I’m a watercolor painter, but worked in oils as a young girl, . I want to try to get some of that back . I’ve watched you for a very long time,, and you are an amazing artist. Tallahassee, Florida
Thanks Barbara Joan!
MICHAEL. - hey my first time, I loved watching creativity in process, felt good and Loved it ALL. : )
👍👍👍
Beautiful! Your waves are my fav! I feel your struggle re: sunset colors around the orb! Lol. I noticed you didn't set in your darks first, like you often do. Did this subject direct you in a different way?
Thanks! I decided to start with a feeling of light in the sky and then key the water to the sky. Definitely a different approach for me.
@@chamberlainpaintings It has a lovely softness to it.
this is super random but what are your favorite coffee beans (brands, blends, etc.)?
Just some things to consider:
in the parts to of the water reflecting the sky, maybe a shift to a greener blue. And I see a little more lightness (pinkness) in the top of the sky.
Good advice! Do you have any for me?
You are a great great artist. I just found your channel, it is amazing how you have mastered the colour and how you perfectly choose them. I am starting out but don't know how to use medium or colours or anything and I get frustrated. What do you recommend? Thank you.
Thanks! I recommend watching tutorials here on TH-cam 😊👍
Love this video and channel, thank you! In the reference picture the front-right wave (foam) appears slightly darker than the front water (which seems to reflect some sun’s light). It is very subtle, may be because our brain interprets water foam as white, and white = light. In the adjacent front-left wave the difference is more evident. In your painting these values are inverted. Is this intentional? I ask as I’m not sure if in this case you try to approach “real” values or perceived/subjective values.
👍🏼👍🏼
Omg, so good. The last 10 minutes when you pull it all together is fascinating. Highlight action for the home run!
Thanks Mindy!
Very successful .
Thanks Joyce 😊
bob chamberlain? michael ross? ehhh you get it
