I love how you show your approach to finding a subject and then how you compose it and the adjustments you make to get it right. Most painting tutorials skip right over this part, and start right into paint application. I find getting the composition right the most important thing for getting started and ultimate success, and would love to see more of this. I would also like to see if you make any changes later. Your capturing of light and atmosphere is beautiful.
Thanks! I do my best to show the whole process. Glad you’re enjoying watching the preliminary adjustments. It’s harder to include the later adjustments because they often take place much later.
Thanks for a super fun day, Mike. Grey Whale Cove is an unbelievable spot! ✌️
That was fun! We’ll have to go back 😊👍
I knew a painter who swore, "Your painting would be so much better if you could see it through someone else's eyes.
So true!
Your compositional barometer 10/10. All in all, fabulous execution
Thanks John!
The swing on the cliff is so cute!!!
IKR?! so fun 😊
I really like the problem solving. Particularly with the lack of shadows on the cliff. Your instinct to frame it with the strong foreground darks really does emanate a sense of light. Next challenge: Painting while swinging! Talk about keeping loose.
Thanks Matthew! I'm sure a video where I painted while swinging would go viral. 😂
Good point about the foreground shadows to emphasize the bright light on the headland.👍
I feel with this painting you have created a wonderful feeling of light, vibrancy and atmosphere. The base colour in the tree certainly helps to achieve that and I like the way you carefully considered the sky holes. Also that’s an interesting brave colour you used in the foreground which makes a wonderful contrast. I’m glad you didn’t over work it because, as you say, it looks great as it is.
Thanks!
Beautiful spot, beautiful paintings!
Thanks!
Thank you again for an excellent, AUTHENTIC video! Love that you show us the scrub outs when you want to adjust your composition, your kind way of making gentle suggestions to Tad, and your bravery with being loose. Wonderful scenery
Thanks!!
beautifully done!! I think you should leave the painting the way it is, I love the scenery hanging out on a swing which I think is awesome! I see you Tad!!!🍻
Thanks Cedric!
Your so blessed with so many plein air buddies 🙏 I cant get one. Feedback is good, I love them helping me with their experience or even a bystanders view on what they see in my painting 🎨👍
It took me a while to find people to paint with. Hang in there! Yes, constructive feedback can be very helpful. Happy painting Tez!
@@chamberlainpaintings Thx Mike, I will be painting alongside kangaroos soon (Im moving on a farm inland next month😁) Yeah it must be great having art friends 🎨 Yeah my Wife is my biggest critic 😁 Happy painting🎨👍
Thank you for including your palette work and brush loading approach especially given I feel a lot of your painting magic happens on your palette. Please keep the inspiration flowing. Thank you!
I plan to keep reminding myself and my viewers to load the brush! More palette shots to come
the water is so pretty wow
A painting, I am learning, can be set up to provide places for the viewer's eyes to travel around, and pause and rest, and continue moving again, gaining either small additions of either joy or confusion at each stop : / Laying out the eye rest areas and how bright or dark they are is important, and you make choices in this session that purposefully includes this. Urban midwesterners have the challenge of scarcity of vistas and lack of anything but level ground though, so I like it when artists also take the mundane and show eye-interest-beauty in it.
Yes, so true. When painting in an area with level ground I often focus on the sky, or I’ll keep the horizon high an look for interesting shadow patterns on the ground.
I love this! The colors of your painting are so cool. It’s like a subtly heightened reality lol
Thanks! I love your description. That sums up what I'm after.
I always feel like I'm daydreaming when i look at those breathtaking landscapes! ❤️
Really enjoyed this video Mike...thank you. The painting turned out great. I love hearing your explanations on why you're doing what you're doing. I'm learning a lot. I'm also thoroughly enjoying travelling up and down the California coast through your videos. So good to see parts of San Francisco and LA too. I've only ever visited Texas (from the UK) to visit my son who lives in Houston. I've always had such a romanticised view of California...a teenager in the 60's...the Beach Boys, hippies etc. So it's great to actually see the places I've heard of, and read about. Thanks very much.
Thanks Lorraine!
I like the result! The painting feels contemporary I don't know if it is the saturated colors or what but I think it turned out great!😊
Thanks Kirsi!
What draws my eye and makes the painting so cohesive is the orangey-brown "reflection" on the right side of the trees. Without it it would just be a tree in the shadows. I can visualize standing on that cliff. Thanks
The trees had a lot of warm reflected light in the shadows that didn't show up on camera. I feel like adding red to my block in really helps create illumination in the dark areas.
Bravo on the paintings, you two! I always feel intimidated when my reference lacks any shadows. I feel like I won’t be able to achieve actual depth in the piece. Good on you both for creating beautiful pieces even when the reference lacked shadows!
Thanks Spencer! Yeah, I wasn't sure having the dark foreground would work, but I think it did! I'm definitely going to experiment more with that sort of composition when there's a lack of shadows.
Awesome! I have been watching your work for some time as an amature beginner plein air painter in Oz and I realy like your instructional supportive style and the way you promote plein air oil painting for everyone. Keep up the great work mate, I am now a patreon.
Cheers Bert from Australia.
Thanks Bert! So glad you're enjoying my videos. I really appreciate the Patreon support!
This !💯
Nice work !
Liked seeing some of the brush work on the palette too. I always like seeing how the colors are mixed and left on the pallet too.
Thanks Roger!
i’m your biggest fan your the coolest dad ever
😊💛
oh my gosh, i litterlay love you and emma this is a dream HAHA
Thanks for a great video. Loved the final painting.
Great choice of composition I thought. A little darker in the foreground for mine to really accentuate that light on the cliffs and sea. That might just be the position of the painting under the lighting in your studio though. In any event I’m being picky and it’s a great painting which I’d have hanging on my wall any day. Cheers Michael 👍
Thanks Mark!
I like it, it’s different, it makes a great impact in color and style. Great picture ,like one of a kind.
Thanks!
I like Tad's painting too. Different technique and very concise.
So do I! Very nice colors and mood.
Aw, thanks team!
I love the Cypress Tree. Your hair is glorious, just sayin. Happy Juneteenth and Happy Father’s Day tomorrow.
Thanks, Raynola! 😊💛
I had a great time watching. Tad nailed it, and your loose brush strokes too. love how you think out load. Cheers.
Thanks!
Looking at this in January 23: yes very interesting variations in the water and in the shadows. Even in the trees. That makes it really pleasant to look at
I like your works and technique. It helps me to learn as an artist. ❤️ From India
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying my videos!
awesome!!! a new chamberlain painting video!
😊
@@sophia6624 Thanks Sophia!
-(michael , to me the contrast of saturated color imparts a “” secure feeling”” on me, as though it’s “” natural to love”” a beautiful painting, just as much as a song )- -( btw I love your songs too)- ❤️
Thanks Mark!
I do the same thing, when I think I'm close to finishing but am worried about over-painting it.
I have several places in the house where I hang work and can see it daily.
I call it having a staring contest with the painting to see who blinks first.
Haha, I like that. It's so important to look at your painting after painting it. I put mine in a visible place as well.
@@chamberlainpaintings that spot is often above the roilet
those cypress at the swings are stunning...great subject to PAINT!!!.. Michael,your air is getting BIGGER AND BIGGER each time you do a video!!
Mr Chamberlain
Vidéo au top de ce magnifique tableau , avec cette prise de vue de la palette pour comprendre votre technique de peinture .
Cordialement
Merci!
Great video idea, I’ll definitely be subscribing the scenery is beautiful 🤩
😊
I see you moving more towards an abstract rendition . Growing as an artist is important and that’s what I see you doing. Giving your thoughts on this from composition to the reasons for your brushstrokes was much appreciated. Thanks Michael. Tallahassee
Thanks Barbra Joan!
I miss painting outside, but it’s fun to be reminded that not everyone is living the Canadian December weather dream ahah ✌️
Good job as always ☺️
Thanks Laura! It's been an unusually sunny fall so far. I'm trying to make the most of it. Stay warm up there!
omg Emma's dad had a TH-cam channel!!!>
What a great result! Wow! Really nice looking warm energetic painting! I love the composition, the color and the brushwork, oh, and the positive atmosphere, and so much air to breathe...the power of ocean, uh...Hm, I love everything about this video, thank you so much for sharing it with us! Cheers from Ukraine, Lviv.
Thanks!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video.
Long time viewer first time commenting. Love the color in this piece. So vibrant with the cool blues and purple at the bottom in the foreground. Great sense of warmth on the cliff against the cool ocean. Love it.
Thanks Gary!
Nice composition and colours. 👍
Thanks Oliver!
This landscape is cool it seems you could paint from any angle and it would turn out beautiful
Thanks Lauren! Yes, it's a great spot 🌟
it’s beautiful!!
Thanks!
i can totally see emma doing a shoot on that swing lol
I think she’d like it 😊
Love it!
this is sick ! and i wanna sit on that swing haha
Thanks! Yeah, that’s one of the best swings ever 😊🌟
Great work and great commentary. You did some really nice sky holes in the trees!! I see more grays in the trees along with the warm back lite parts, and some more variation in those foreground shadows. What do you think about that? I’d love to know your decision making on those areas-and please, I’m NOT criticizing, just wanting to learn.
Thanks Sherrie! I'm using the scenery as inspiration, not doing an exact copy of what I'm seeing. I hope that makes sense. I didn't want to break up the dark value in the foreground so I eliminated the bits of light. I didn't want to create a lot of obvious visual interest in that area because I wanted the eye to pass over to the water and the cliffs in the distance. The eye can then wander back to the dark area in the foreground and notice the subtle temperature shifts. 😊
@@chamberlainpaintings Got it, and thanks for explaining your process. It really helps!
I'm at the sketching part. All your adjustments are pushing stuff to the thirds :)
Interesting. Just feels right. I’ll have to take a closer look 👍
@@ronschlorff7089 I believe "rules of thirds" is the wrong term. It should be called "guides of thirds". Sometimes stuff looks better if it is off the thirds. And there are no rules :)
great video ♡
Thanks!
I love getting feedback from other painters and tha'ts why I usually paint with my buddy Bunny!! fresh eyes always helps!!..Why don't you two do thumbnail sketches first...??
It resolves a lot of those issues before I start painting!!
Lovely paintings! What’s was the temperature there that day? It was cracking me up to see you guys all bundled up. I’m sure it’s much warmer there than it is here in Missouri!
Thanks! It was about 55 degrees when we started, low sixties when we finished. Very comfortable!
@@chamberlainpaintings that is cooler that I was expecting! The high today here was 58.
Swing and defy reality
Yes
Have you ever painted snow or a winter scene before?
Not yet! I'd love to. Maybe Yosemite Valley.
nice on th e wave brah simple.
Thanks!
You inspire me so much to draw again but I suck so badly at it, do you have any advice?💖
Just keep going!
Ron is back in the comments y’all 😊👍
hiii
