I love this painting. Can’t pinpoint why, but is for sure a favorite. I find myself liking your cityscapes and landscapes with a few details such as the boats and houses used here most of all.
Thanks Kathy, glad you like this one!
Started my first painting today in almost a year. Your channel is very inspiring 🙂
Good for you! So glad you find my channel inspiring 😊
Love this. I'm a native San Franciscan and grew up in the Bay Area, so it's great to see all of your local painting spots. Thank you for all of your creativity, painting tips, and motivating videos. It's much appreciated by this new painter.
That advice to make choices about to composition from several feet away is great advice I forget all the time. I often get so locked in I don’t step back. But when I do it always helps. Loved this scene here!
Love the transparency on the boats too!
The distance is so important! After the block in I spend most of my time about 10 feet from the painting.
I bet your buyers would appreciate paintings from your childhood town in CA.....seeing that town through your eyes. Lovely painting, Michael! You nailed everything.
Thanks, Kay!
These videos are so therapudic. thank you!
i love this painting because it reminds me of the beach
😊
Another beautiful painting, really love how it turned out! Especially the water and reflections, so natural.
Quite liked the colors overall.
Thanks!
Hey thank you so much for the inspiration... I'm 20 years old and yesterday i recorded a plein air painting video just like you....you played major role in inspiring me to try plein air THANK YOU ❤️
Glad to have inspired you! 😊
No trouble right here in Foster City
I’m not sure I can rhyme this ditty
Inspired by Monet’s take on water
Working dark to light, scenes to alter
Making decisions from 10 feet away
While keeping it loose, suggest and convey
Patreon link has more videos
You’ll love it, study shows
😁
Dear Santa, Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny: can we all paint like Michael someday?
The color of the water at this scene is really beautiful and the way you captured it is incredible. *WOW* Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💚
Thanks Suz! I appreciate your poems and positive feedback! 😊✌️💛
I love the texture that painting style added to the water. Beautiful painting! Great job!
Thanks, Neal!
Great one Michael. Something about those boats makes it look so real. Thank you!
Thanks, Alvin!
Hi Michael, I love your beautiful painting of Foster City water and little boats. You not only painted a beautiful painting but made me homesick at the same time. Rarely comment anymore but never miss anything you post. You just keep getting better and better. It is hard to find more inspiring inspiration than Claude Monet and you did a wonderful inspiration. Love how you painted the whole scene.
Thanks, Mary! This painting was done near Plum Island. Didn't you live in that area?
@@chamberlainpaintings Yes we lived on Plum Island. I saw where they are putting a high wall along the levy. Guess FC needs that protection since it is below sea level. We lived on the park side of Plum Island.
@@marymindfull Yes, I thought I remembered you living in that area. The high wall is in full swing. There's no access to the levee at this point. It'll be interesting to see the finished product.
Beautiful!!! Love the water and the boats. You started out so dark that it worried me! In the end the light really shone through!
Really nice. Love the Monet style and especially the water
Thanks!
just loved the scenery and your painting too
😊
Great painting. I really like it. At first I wasn't sure about the water, but that was my fault not yours. I was watching on a 50 inch TV and I was only about six feet away. Then I left the room and when I came back and saw the screen from a proper distance, maybe twelve feet, it all fell into place and the water was fabulous. Monet would have been impressed!
Thanks!
Really like how you are trying new areas and techniques. Thanks again for a wonderful painting experience.
Thanks Michelle!
This might sound crazy but I started taking a screen cap of the scene you’re painting once you’ve settled on it, displaying it on my MacBook, and then watching the video on my iPad. Let’s me understand your process much more clearly as the painting develops.
It is never how big but how you use it, the technique here is the star of the show, thumbs up
Thanks, Charles!
A leisurely scene executed in a loose and impressionistic manner
Thanks to Claude Monet and Michael's painterly approach, painting will never go out of fashion
Thanks 😊😊👍👍
Thanks Herman!
This is a great one! The atmosphere is palpable. I can even imagine what it feels like on the inside of the main boat. Also inviting studio light during the wrap up 👍
Thanks, Tad!
Hey Mike...i think Monet is smiling down on you!...such a calm tranquil feeling...the change of color of the boat to Orange is a key element... complementary colors are very important not just for toning down but laying down next to each other...
Thanks, Nancy! 😊
This painting inspired by Monet is one the best painting you did!
Thanks!
Such a great learning lesson here. Love the idea of trying out different techniques from the masters.
Love this one, I’m a Monet fan .
You make it look simple ( I know it isn’t ).
Really enjoyed watching you.
Thanks a lot.😎🇦🇺🦘
Nice spot and painting, Mike. We have lots of clear, blue sky days in Colorado too and I usually add cloud shapes for composition. You should make a trip out here…I have lots of great places to paint!
Thanks, Scott! I'd love to paint in Colorado someday. I'll let you know if I'm headed your way!
I have been watching many of your videos. I enjoy seeing how you use color and map out the painting.
Really nice. I love the simplicity of it all.
Thanks!
I've learned so much from you and I thank you for sharing your thinking process as well.
I'm so glad! 😊
I really like that water style and the orange of the boat. Well done.
Thanks!
I love this painting, it’s beautiful, thank you for this video
Love the loose style. You nailed the boats, would love to have seen how you painted them in full. The water is fantastic, you have reduced it's complexity to bare basics and it is awesome. The atmosphere on the day is captured brilliantly
Excellent! Amazing how you take a so-so scene and make it into something wonderful.
Thanks, Diane!
This painting looks wicked Mike...the right handside with the boats and the trees is perfect. About painting masters: I did some reproductions of great masters paintings (I never show them because of several reasons mostly legal) but it's incredible how you learn and get better at applying paint and composing...after that is all about your taste and what you are used to (in your case you are extremely used to paint outside and have your very own style already) so it won't change much of your strokes but I firmly recommend going for it...you will be surprise of what you are capable of afterwards. I still have the idea of doing a very big version of Luncheon of the Boating Party but I don't know what I would do with it when it's finished...maybe hung it at home. There's a mother at my daughter's school who saw them once and she is a Dali fan and she is always asking me to make her some of Gala portraits but I don't want to go to jail LOL. But I can tell you, painting a carbon copy of some masters teaches you more than you could imagine.
Thank, Martin! Yes, I agree you can learn a lot from doing master studies. I think it's ok to do copies as long as you don't sign it and try to sell it. You can give them away. Although there are websites that offer real, painted reproductions of famous works. Not sure how they're able to get away with that!
chamberlainpaintings I know a guy who lives in a city near by who's spent 20 years in jail...he is one of the most famous french copyists of all time. He has a painting atelier now and takes plenty of commissions...he earned millions doing fakes back then. Can't remember his name, if I find it I'll edit here and post it.
One of my favorites that you have painted.
😊
It looks like a really special place to grow up Michael. Or at least be a teenager. I think if this painting is any indication, there are probably a whole lot more paintings to be had in Foster City.
Very nice piece, and I like your decision to change the colour of the boat from the dark colour to orange. It makes for a nice pop!
Thanks, Matthew! Yes, I plan to do a bit of exploring and see what I come up with.
I love these videos. Very inspiring
Loved it . So beautiful ❤️ waiting for next video on plein air oil painting .
Thanks! 😊
Love that you are painting close to home, since it's my home also. I'm on Marina Lagoon. You're still my hero artist! Love your loose style. Really like this painting.
Thanks, Mareva! I hope to paint in Foster City more often. Glad you like this one! 😊
This is incredible. Water is definitely my favorite part, don't really know if I liked so much due the technique, but it definitely gives me such a great feeling. It really makes you feel like you're there.
Thanks, Amanda!
Thank you. Love your videos. You are an excellent teacher and your art is wonderful!
Thanks, Dana! 😊
Love the water ripples you created.
I love that you did a Monet inspired. And you did so well. Thanks for this , Michael.
You never disappoint. I’m still doing watercolors, but getting into my oils as well. You always inspire me.
🌴Tallahassee 🌴
Thanks, Barbra Joan!
I just love your work! Enjoy watching you too
Super, Michael. I love the light and ripples on the water and light on the trees.
Thanks, Frank!
Really enjoyed this, and seeing you paint influenced by the style of Monet. Also have been to Foster City many a time back in the early 70's, so it was great seeing that again.
😊
Love these videos 😍 Always put me in the mood to paint.
😊
Nice work, well done to you! I love painting boats, that is the majority of my work,
Thanks, Hazel!
Beautiful painting Michael. I love how you are experimenting with techniques gleaned from other artists. You may end up adopting some of this permanently over time; maybe not. There's always something to learn though, right? The Greats certainly evolved over time (probably what made them great). Just discovered that Piet Mondrian did impressionist landscapes as a young artist...yet today is best known for his Cubist masterpieces. My mind was totally blown over the evolution.
Thanks, Michelle! Yes, I think evolution is what keeps painting exciting. For me at least. I'll have to look up those Mondrian landscapes! 😊
This painting is awesome! I really like the way you did the water with the horizontal strokes. Fun to watch you try different styles.
Thanks!
I'd love to try oils. Nice one Michael.
Give it a go! Thanks!
Nice painting with a very calming and breezy feel to it.
Thanks, Mark!
Excellent work. Keep doing Monet, by all means!
Thanks!
The water is looking good
Thanks!
Do you try to join your shadow areas at the beginning to make a pattern? That orange hull really pops against that turqoise water. Lovely painting!
Thank you so much for this video!!! You really gave me perspective in art, to see things differently. Thank you so much sir!!
I love your channel so much! I love the places you paint because they're close to me also. When are you going to be well enough to skim water again? Love all the colors in your water.
Thanks, Mary Kay! Glad you're enjoying my videos. I've been surfing again this past week. I'll include some clips soon. 😊
Awesome painting! Love it.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Frances!
Beautiful painting! I love it. Btw. Selling price should be on the Monet's level as well!
Thanks, Olda! Haha, I could retire!
@@chamberlainpaintings Sure! lol
That's a great painting! Another informative and enjoyable video.
Thanks, Lesley!
Very unique and beautiful piece of art Michael ❤️
Thanks, Mark!
Looking forward to when you take on a Van Gogh inspired painting......Graham Gooda
Maybe I'll do that next!
I'm laughing! I live here in FC and know those waterways intimately. But I never paint here; I'm usually out on the coast in similar places to where you paint out there. Maybe I need to pay more attention closer to home. Hmmmmmm.....
I've always considered Foster City to be unpaintable 😂 I've driven around countless times and found nothing inspiring. It's a challenge!
Capturing calm water is always a challenge for me. You did an awesome job on it as usual though. Do you miss the Jersey shore?
Thanks! I would love to visit the Jersey shore again. Maybe in 2023!
Loved this one
at 3:16 "the rest of it is very simple" . I'm gonna have to disagree!! Your videos are great and are inspiring me to work to move past my own abstract creations but I'm pretty daunted. Great video as usual, I love the inspiration.
Thanks, Rebecca! Glad you find my videos inspiring!
@@chamberlainpaintings I really do. They connect me to the memory of my Granny who was very near and very dear to me and she was a hobbyist painter. Without getting mushy and too personal on the internet, I really have been inspired by your videos. Last night I got creative in a way that I used to as a kid with her. Not in a painting way, but in our way, and I'm definitely feeling those old vibes and good memories come back to life after grieving her. It's so good to create again and feel that part of me come back to life. Your videos are great and I'm thankful for them. Peace and strength to you - -
@@rebeccameador7712 Thanks, Rebecca. I can't tell you how many times losing myself in creativity has helped me through a rough time. So therapeutic! Glad to hear you're creating again.
wow amazing
Thank you!
You're still a kid at heart, Michael. Don't get too tight about growing up: I've seen adults and they seem pretty miserable most of the time. 😉 stay loose -- this was a really beautiful painting. It ended up very different than I thought it would when you blocked in all those very dark masses.
Thanks, Michael! I feel like artists get to hang onto a bit of their inner child. I think they have to! I'm doing the best I can 😂👍
Hi, I always follow your channel. You are an incredible artist. It would be great if there were Italian subtitles. Thanks a lot🙋♀️
Grazie, Patty! I sottotitoli in italiano sarebbero fantastici! Speriamo che CZcams capisca come realizzarlo 😊
Did you say land lock new jersey? Isn't 99% of its eastern border the Atlantic Ocean? And no matter where you are in NJ you can be in the Ocean in about 1hr, worse case 1.5 hrs
True! I should have said in a "landlocked portion of New Jersey". I grew up in Montclair and distances were judged by how long it took to get there on a Schwinn 10 speed. In the 14 years I lived there we went to the shore only a few times.
I'm from New Jersey, too. It's not landlocked. We have the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
True! I should have said landlocked Montclair. I would have loved to have lived near the shore.
@@chamberlainpaintings Sorry I didn't mean to nitpick. NJ is my home and always will be. I go to the shore a lot. It's a great place especially this time of year. Last year I did a plein air painting of Cape May lighthouse.
@@georgeanderson7499 I plan to return to New Jersey for some plein air painting someday. I will definitely stay somewhere near the shore. I'm thinking fall could be nice. What time of year and what area would you recommend?
@@chamberlainpaintings Fall is a good time because the shore areas aren't so crowded as in the summer. I live in Vineland in south Jersey. Near the Delaware Bay there's lots of wetlands where you'll see raptor birds flying and nesting. There's East Point Lighthouse in Heislerville. There's Port Norris where you'll see oyster boats coming in and out. Fishing boats at Fortescue. There's also Brigantine, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood. Cape May is an artist's paradise! Lots of beautiful subjects to paint in town and on the beach. Lots to choose from here. Enjoy!
@@georgeanderson7499 Thanks for the information, George! I want to surf in NJ as well. Can't wait to visit!
Very pretty
Any tips for artist that have creative block? Love you and Emma soooo much 🖌💞🌻✨🐱🦋
Painting outdoors is my cure for a creative block. 😊
@@chamberlainpaintings thanks dad 🐱🤌🏼✨
Very nice!
Thanks, Charm!
Do you use a permanent Alizarin? I find that Pyrrole Rubine (pr264) is a good one.
Thank you!!!
Fantastico, bellissimo. Bravo!!!👏👏👏👍👍👍🙋
Grazie! 😊
Nice! Here's a question tho...how do you pronounce Monet? I've heard it two ways. Moe-nay or Mahn-ay. Which is correct?
Thanks, Mary! I've heard that the proper pronunciation is Mah-nay.
O k great! Now I know what I'm doing. Thanks.
Hello Mr. Chamberlain, sir. Will you be my Dad? Please and thank you, Mr. Chamberlain, sir.
imagine if someone randomly honked and you flinched😂😂
LOL! On Instagram, lots of Reels of people being scared half to death when James Brown's scream at the beginning of his song I Feel Good is played! So hilarious.
❤️👏🏼
Super sympa...
👍
I like it. I know what you mean about emulating techniques that you admire; I have attempted to emulate some of your style of late. I am still working on that; ha! 🥴 Please, tell me, have you read any of the books by Peter Heller? I really enjoyed ‘The Painter’ and ‘The Dog Stars’, I highly recommend any of his writings.
Thanks, Raynola! I haven't heard of Heller but I'll look him up!
@@chamberlainpaintings - Awesome, for you I would suggest The Painter and Kook, the first about a painter, the later about a surfing.
@@raynoladominguez4730 Wow, right up my alley!
You know, Michael, sometime we really do need to paint together. Invitation still open.
Ok maybe in Foster City!
@@chamberlainpaintings Sure, a challenge to find the right subject! But easier on the coast, as you well know.
@@bartcharlow9807 so true. We could paint the coast. Do you have favorite spots on the coast?
Just a thought- could the vertical tree reflection be a slightly lighter value?
That could work!
When did you start painting
August of 2003
Love this one, I’m a Monet fan .
You make it look simple ( I know it isn’t ).
Really enjoyed watching you.
Thanks a lot.😎🇦🇺🦘
Thanks, Dave!
