Ahh, the mood of that Emma painting with her iPhone, the darkness, I love it. Even though the subject isn’t dark, rather the opposite really. That one looks rainy or dreary and the colors are great. It’s got a jazz vibe.
The Eureka squinty faced Emma one is so so beautiful, the personality really jumps out. I clicked so quickly because I was captivated by the thumbnail.
That was so much fun to see the paintings that you choose to live with and what they mean to you. Thanks for the tour, they are all wonderful in their own way.😀
I love the dark rich colors and the contrast of the light in the painting of emma with a new phone, i think it just has such a romantic feel in an impressionistic style which I love
I've been watching Emma for some time, but I just came across your videos! I've always wanted to be an artist, but I'm a little scared though of being financially unstable. I also quit art class after middle school because I felt it took too much time, and I didn't really like the assignments we had to do. I also wanted to focus on academics for college etc. (I'm a senior in hs now) Recently though I've been painting for fun in my free time, and I remember how much I enjoy it! Mostly I've been painting my own cards for friends and family as gifts (also because I'm broke 😂). I really like the style of your art, especially after watching this video. I've never painted with anything besides acrylic paint, but you've inspired me to maybe branch out to oil paint in the future. Best of luck on your painting journey 😊 keep up the good work!
Your paintings always seem to convey a certain gentleness to them. Not sure how to describe it but overall.. Incredible. 🙏 They reflect your personality/spirit very well as far as I can tell😊
A real treat to see and hear about so many pieces ! As with music, if the artist likes the song or painting, people will usually like it too. Even when it's about something personal that one wouldn't think "the public" would relate with, that often seems to somehow work even better.
I agree! I've always trusted in that and it works. I've sold paintings in a wide range of subjects. If a painting is honest and well done it'll find a home eventually.
I only appreciate my paintings after a few years have passed and I have forgotten the process to a large degree. You have a really nice open disposition which is really pleasant to listen too.
Enjoyed that! Thought the painting of emma with the sunglasses was fantastic. You always seem to capture atmospheric perspective with so little. Not judging but iPhones at 10/11, christ what a world we live in Michael. I don't and won't have kid's,not sure I could deal with being a modern parent. Even the thought of social media gives me the shivers, and I'm only 36.
I know what you mean regarding the phone. I guess we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. She actually researched the whole thing and used her own money. 😂
Thank you for the very agreeable overview of what you have kept for your own walls. Especially like those at 4:00; 6:05; 7:00 and their bare-bones essentials of composition and paint.
that's kinda wierd but u remind me so much of my teacher in artschool. u have the same approach to painting. i mean keeping the painting super loose, working fast, focusing on big shapes, etc. your every video brings a smile on my face😁 because they are very comforting and inspiring.
This was lovely to look through your personal collection and hear all your thoughts and inspiration! I haven’t painted in oil paints in year, I’ve moved to more digital portraits recently but you’ve inspired me to get the brush and paints out again and try a landscape!!
I really enjoy your work. A bucket list item of mine is to buy a cityscape near the river in Chicago painted by you. It’s my favorite city in the world! Have you done any painting of the scenery there?
Very very nice! I still count the pacific grove cypresses over the bed as one of my favs. You really have talent with portraits (people & pets) I’d love to see you develop that side even more!
Michael - I love your work, both your paintings and videos. I am making my way through your video library, and learning a lot. Do you have advice on painting city scapes and buildings? Unlike nature scenes, I find getting the many intersecting angles found in buildings reduces me to penciling in lines to then paint within. This feels like the tightest of tight painting, and like I've created my own paint by numbers. Thank you!
Thanks for the visit it was awesome. The painting with Emma and the car is flawless. Incredible how you managed to paint her features so accurate with her being your daughter because usually painting family is a struggle.
Thanks Martin. That painting came together pretty quickly and I'm convinced I just got lucky with her features. I realized how lucky I had gotten when I tried to reproduce the painting. I worked on her face for days on the reproduction and couldn't get it to look the same. And I had both paintings next to each other! I just couldn't reproduce her face as it appears in the original. I even used calipers! Couldn't do it. The new painting looked like Emma, but there was something missing.
chamberlainpaintings I understand, faces are very difficult and painting them twice is even worse. Not so long ago I had a commission and the guy wanted me to make the portrait of him, his daughter and his son on the same canvas and since they were stranded he handled me some bad pictures...it was HELL! I said yes because usually I say yes to everything challenging in life but this one was a pain in the ass. I had to make a bigger print of each picture, transfer them to the canvas, separate the nuances by marking them with a pencil as if it were a painting by numbers, then loose the strokes to hava a painting with feeling and finally it came out good but it took me a week of sweat. I admire those portrait painters who can make a beautiful portrait within a couple of hours without even thinking. Im not much into portraits and faces in paintings but I know it's necessary to know the craft.
I love how you explain everything. your whole family gives such positive vibes. I would love to see more from your life too or like a life story or something. or maybe a video with Emmas mom it would be so interesting.
I see why they wanted to buy the one of baby-you with the ducks! I love it. My top five: the one I just mentioned, the one with the lone house in the pink cloud sunset, big one of emma on the boat, the one that is overpainted with the white house (probably my fave) and emma in sf!
It's so lovely hearing someone speak about some of their artistic work with joy and an appreciation for it , instead of self flagellation etc. Beautiful works!
Thanks for sharing your collection Mike. All of them look great, and it's interesting to see how consistent they are as far as style or your method. I've been enjoying your videos for several days now, you're really a great person and artist!
Your edges on the one of Emma with her new cell phone, is just perfect! Emma’s hair was a tour de force-thin dark paint with various colors used in thick paint-dynamite!
I love your ability to do great portraiture too! I really admire your great talent, there’s a freshness, an optimism, such great execution of light and color.. well your colors are beautiful.
Thanx Mike. Loved the tour. Would love to know what painters like Zorn , Sarolla , Velasquez etc. would of kept back for their own inspiration. Your so right about shadows. I work harder inside shadows than out. Last three in particular , boiled my egg. Thanx again Mike. Hwyl from Cymru
Great video. Your paintings are probably the reflection of your mind and personality, they are pure, warm, relaxed, humble.... very nice feeling. Thank you Mister Chamberlain for sharing this! Pierre
I really enjoyed the tour and I honestly couldn’t say which painting I preferred because they are all wonderful. When you create a painting to sell that you are really pleased do you feel reluctant to sell it?
I love your technique sooo much! Do you have a video where you show how you mix your paint? I can't get my paint to flow as smoothly as yours. I make half a stroke and all the paint's gone.
Beside the beauty in your art, I like your spirit. Coming from the art scene of NYC, I saw a lot of snobby self-centered artists here. You, instead, come out as genuine and very pleasing creative person! All the best :)
Montgomery Street, Emma squinting, and the house on the rocky cliff. ♥️♥️♥️You should name your paintings. This video goes with Emma's most recent upload!🤗🤩
You are really inspiring me to try to find the time to paint more, what an amazing painter you are!! the light and simple lines of your paintings remind me a bit of Edward Hopper, with a clean spin unique to you. Truly inspiring work! 🥰
Binge watching your videos in the background rn, while i try to finish my "creative response" art piece thats due tmrw 😭love your vids and calming & creative energy 💚💚💚
hi! I don't know if you are going to see this, but I was wondering which medium you use the most? it looks like acrylic or maybe oil paints, but I want to do more work like this and am not sure what medium is best if I want to get a similar result. thank you!! i love your work by the way :)
I REALLY enjoyed your video today! I guess maybe it’s because I can relate to what you shared about your work. And I can totally understand why you want to hold on to those. It is funny to think of how artwork can become such a part of you. Thanks a lot for sharing 😉 always interesting!
Love that I could tell whenever a painting was of Emma - crazy that you can tell it's her even when the brushwork is so lose! 👏👏👏
Ahh, the mood of that Emma painting with her iPhone, the darkness, I love it. Even though the subject isn’t dark, rather the opposite really. That one looks rainy or dreary and the colors are great. It’s got a jazz vibe.
Thanks, glad you like! 😊
The Eureka squinty faced Emma one is so so beautiful, the personality really jumps out. I clicked so quickly because I was captivated by the thumbnail.
Thanks!
Loveeee the one of Emma with the car. I’m amazed at the likeness you capture with such minimal detail.
Wow. Can’t even pick a favourite, there is so much quality and diversity. ❤️
Thanks Leslie! 😊
The way the light hits all the buildings is so on point!
That was so much fun to see the paintings that you choose to live with and what they mean to you. Thanks for the tour, they are all wonderful in their own way.😀
Thanks Joyce, glad you enjoyed the tour. 😊
I’d love to see a contemporary painting of Emma. It’s been very cool watching her walk her own path the past couple years. She’s a beautiful soul.
This is so fantastic. I wish I had a parent that painted me from time to time. It’s so special and seems full of love.
I love the one of Emma with the iPhone, the colors are stunning!
i agree
Wow you are insanely skilled. Saving up my money to buy one of your paintings one day😊
Your style has to be my favorite, so dreamy and nostalgic, it makes me feel so at peace :')
I love the dark rich colors and the contrast of the light in the painting of emma with a new phone, i think it just has such a romantic feel in an impressionistic style which I love

Thanks Emily! I wish you all the best on your creative journey!
Wow, your paintings are amazing! I really loved the one with Emma walking by the car... I thought it was a picture at first!
I love that painting of Emma with the sunglasses. I can't tell you how much your work and videos inspire me. Thank you.
The painting of the lighthouse cut off at the top is amazing! I love that composition!
We'll have to paint Maine sometime. I think you'd love that area. haha, no surf tho!
You have an incredible sense of light and dark in paintings that is truly a talent
Your paintings always seem to convey a certain gentleness to them. Not sure how to describe it but overall.. Incredible. 🙏 They reflect your personality/spirit very well as far as I can tell😊
Thanks Hailey ☺️🙏
I really enjoyed the family paintings. It’s a nice and unique way of displaying one’s family without necessarily using photos
I love your paintings, they're very calming
A real treat to see and hear about so many pieces ! As with music, if the artist likes the song or painting, people will usually like it too. Even when it's about something personal that one wouldn't think "the public" would relate with, that often seems to somehow work even better.
I agree! I've always trusted in that and it works. I've sold paintings in a wide range of subjects. If a painting is honest and well done it'll find a home eventually.
i am absolutely obsessed with the emma outside the apple store painting it’s so beautiful
I only appreciate my paintings after a few years have passed and I have forgotten the process to a large degree.

all of your paintings are really fantastic and i especially love the painting of emma with her hair up and wearing the sunglasses by the car!
Thanks Brooke!
i always come back to this video just to see your paintings

Love that you shared all your personal collection. I’m on my butt with a broken foot. More painting for me! Love all your paintings.
Hope you heal up soon!
Loosey goosey paintings are my favorites
I love the light in your paintings!! Gorgeous!💚💜💛🧡
Thanks!
I really enjoy your work. A bucket list item of mine is to buy a cityscape near the river in Chicago painted by you. It’s my favorite city in the world! Have you done any painting of the scenery there?
I’ve never been to Chicago. I must visit!
Very very nice! I still count the pacific grove cypresses over the bed as one of my favs. You really have talent with portraits (people & pets) I’d love to see you develop that side even more!
Thanks! Painting portraits really takes a lot out of me. 😂 But I really do love painting them. I hope to do more in the future.

@@martingimenez339 I've had a few experiences like the one you describe. Never again! 😂
I love the colors and the paintings with people
Eeeeeek i love that little mousey 🥺💗
Your videos are really inspiring because I love you style. Hopefully I will try to make some paintings like these on quarentine
Yes, this is a great time to be creative 😊
me toooooo
i think my favorite is the one of you with the ducks 🦆
Crazy seeing the central coast painting and remember those spots from family trips growing up!! Love it :D
Some really great paintings there. Really love the Emma in ugg boots one. Love the ducks one too. Thanks for sharing.
how is there no detail and so much detail at the same time in some of these. i adore
I really really love your style of painting. I also love how you explain why you painted the way you did. Do you sell prints of your work somewhere?
I love how you explain everything. your whole family gives such positive vibes. I would love to see more from your life too or like a life story or something. or maybe a video with Emmas mom it would be so interesting.
I see why they wanted to buy the one of baby-you with the ducks! I love it. My top five: the one I just mentioned, the one with the lone house in the pink cloud sunset, big one of emma on the boat, the one that is overpainted with the white house (probably my fave) and emma in sf!
they are all amazing, your work is wonderful 💕

What a treat! Love the tour, and all the paintings! Thank you for posting.
That Cutlass is awesome
Thanks!
You are an amazing artist!
☺️🙏
Wow! I love those paintings. Tell Emma that I love her videos and her and I also love your paintings.
Thanx Mike. Loved the tour. Would love to know what painters like Zorn , Sarolla , Velasquez etc. would of kept back for their own inspiration.
Your so right about shadows. I work harder inside shadows than out.
Last three in particular , boiled my egg. Thanx again Mike. Hwyl from Cymru
Thanks Dai!
beautiful paintings. the light & shadows are awesome! seems like a real picture i need more work on shadows!!
I'd love to be able to buy one of your paintings one day! I love landscapes, they are all over my house.
I LOVE thé unique style of some of these!!
Really want to paint some landscapes now
your painting style is so cool !
Great video. Your paintings are probably the reflection of your mind and personality, they are pure, warm, relaxed, humble.... very nice feeling. Thank you Mister Chamberlain for sharing this!
Pierre
Thanks Pierre!
i absolutely love it ! it reminds me of Edward Hopper’s work, you are so talented !
the rat, i need that painting of the rat, it is my favorite thing in the world
such an amazing collection!! your work always inspires me😍
Thank you for the showing. So much talent!
Great tips in this one! Nice big paintings too! Thanks!!!
The way you painted emma. omygoooooooooood. You're so good
Love your paintings and the tour...Thank you.
Un trabajo excelente, las pinturas realmente son mejores que las fotos, se siente la energía a través de ellas.
Gracias! 😊
I really enjoyed the tour and I honestly couldn’t say which painting I preferred because they are all wonderful. When you create a painting to sell that you are really pleased do you feel reluctant to sell it?
Sometimes I hold onto paintings that turn out really well. Especially if I feel I can learn from them by having them around. 😊
I knew we were kindred spirits; I'm from New Jersey. 😊
I love your technique sooo much! Do you have a video where you show how you mix your paint? I can't get my paint to flow as smoothly as yours. I make half a stroke and all the paint's gone.
Do you use medium? I don’t think I have a video on the subject. Maybe I’ll make one!
@@chamberlainpaintings Yes, I use Winsor & Newton medium. I don't know what's in it. Sometimes also just plain linseed oil.
Beside the beauty in your art, I like your spirit. Coming from the art scene of NYC, I saw a lot of snobby self-centered artists here. You, instead, come out as genuine and very pleasing creative person! All the best :)
Thanks!
Montgomery Street, Emma squinting, and the house on the rocky cliff. ♥️♥️♥️You should name your paintings. This video goes with Emma's most recent upload!🤗🤩
Glad you like! I do name all of my paintings. I put the title and the date painted on the back. I'm going to watch her latest right now!
You are really inspiring me to try to find the time to paint more, what an amazing painter you are!! the light and simple lines of your paintings remind me a bit of Edward Hopper, with a clean spin unique to you. Truly inspiring work! 🥰
WOW😍 Your paintings are amazing
Wow, if you look at them with your eyes semi closed they look like a picture💯💯💯 super realistic
Love love the Emma( grown up with the car) painting my fav.
I really loved it!Also I wanted to tell you how much I like Your Golden bridge painting,it’s one of my favourite
😊
I love how you use light in your paintings they don’t need much detail but if you get the light right you can visualize the details. It’s really cool!
Binge watching your videos in the background rn, while i try to finish my "creative response" art piece thats due tmrw 😭love your vids and calming & creative energy 💚💚💚
You are a wonderful artist!
Thanks, Frances!
I love them all but the building paintings look awesome Mike 🎨🙏
Thanks Tez!
Really beautiful artwork / paintings!!! I love it!!! 6:10 - My favorite !! Masterpiece!! Congrats!! Btw. Stay safe!
Love your work. Beautiful. Your landscapes remind me of Hopper (one of my favorite artists)
such beautiful work
Thanks Lindsay!
you're a really talented artist!
Thanks! 😊
hi! I don't know if you are going to see this, but I was wondering which medium you use the most? it looks like acrylic or maybe oil paints, but I want to do more work like this and am not sure what medium is best if I want to get a similar result. thank you!! i love your work by the way :)
I only paint with oil paints 😊
Super excited!
@chamberlainpainting question I started oil painting and I have a question do you think it’s necessary to varnish all your oil paintings???
Thanks for the show Nice to see Maine represented. I recognize the Port Clyde scenes
I REALLY enjoyed your video today! I guess maybe it’s because I can relate to what you shared about your work. And I can totally understand why you want to hold on to those. It is funny to think of how artwork can become such a part of you. Thanks a lot for sharing 😉 always interesting!
Thanks Christine!
Could you explain a little bit about the main things about plein air painting?
Wow, I would have kept all of those too.
😊
u are sooo sososo talented!!! now i really want to paint haha
Wow I’m speechless
You are SO TALENTED
