Michael, I’m not only simply learning from your videos (you explain everything so well) but find them so relaxing as well as seeing the California coastline, as I’ve never been there! Thanks so much and keep up the good work👍🏻👏. 🖼
When you showed closeup I noticed how all the stages of the painting appear in different areas especially the burnt sienna which seems to be a characteristic element to all your paintings ...your dialogue is so easy to understand...so helpful!
Thanks Nancy! I like leaving hints of the process in the finished painting. I feel like it adds character and energy. I'm so glad you found this video helpful!
Nice to see you going larger on canvas . Can really see the depth and drama of shapes . (I was at hobby lobby recently and they sell all sizes of canvas packs really inexpensively). Take care!
@@chamberlainpaintings I’ve tried the blick variety I’d say their comparable in quality at least on the lower end types , but the 4 packs I saw at HL were outstanding value to say the least. Much better price point than blick .
I hear you on the versatility of the canvas for transporting and such and I do use canvases in the studio for my larger paintings. But there is just something I love about working on the smooth surface of Masonite! 😊 Anyway, nice to see you out painting and in a beautiful spot.
I still love masonite for smaller panels. I find there's a focus and clarity that is difficult to achieve with canvas. When painting large, 24x30 and larger, I actually prefer the look of canvas over panel!
I think I'll be ok if I turn the canvas so that it's inline with the wind. It's windy almost every day so I'm going to have to learn to deal with it! 😂
Nice job as always! I recently started oil painting myself, and it is a bit tricky but I always try to improve :) Thank you for inspiring me to go into oil painting!
Great painting Michael. How about attaching a 3mm MDF board to the rear of the canvas to prevent light shining through it...just remove it afterwards then you're not at the mercy of the sun!
You've gone to bigger canvases, Michael, and doing well with the added paint!! I went to larger canvases and have really struggled with covering them and keeping them looking fresh...any suggestions would be immensely appreciated.!
I really sped up my block in. No wasting time. You have to be aggressive and don't worry if it's slightly off. Just go for it. You're going to be making adjustments anyway so just cover that canvas!!
Using a canvas and painting large at Pigeon With Tad and his paints, more than a smidgen Simple shapes, lots of sky like Monet A timer makes him leave halfway Michael captures wave activity and distant hills Dramatic value shifts, light on rocks gives chills Join Patreon, creativity will transcend Loved this and the ocean at the end 🌊 *WOW* you both produced beautiful paintings. I can see why you want to go larger after you put this size beside the smaller one. This really makes an impact. It is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Nice, I’ve been wanting to go larger but was struggling with the transport of the panel. I think I’ll try the large canvas. I gotta find a way to keep the sun from coming through cuz that’ll drive me batty.
You could back the canvas with cardboard to block the illumination. It didn't really bother me. I didn't even notice it once the scrub in was finished.
Waiting patiently for the weather to cooperate here in Idaho...many beautiful vistas awaiting my arrival...thanks for the motivation! Again a fantastic video chock full of valuable information put forth in an easy to understand way....
Great paintings, guys! I mean, sir, you painted that water so well. The energy and movement of the water is incredible, as well as the rest of of it. Perfect! Beautiful location, btw. Have a good one!
Nice! I wonder - could you tape a windshield sun shade to the back while you work? Then you could see your subject easier without having to turn it so the sun doesn’t shine thru?
Instead of buying panel carriers for my bigger projects I just clip two panels or two canvases, faces in, together, with some cork in between them. They make clips for just that purpose.
Very informative, Michael. Your practical knowledge is so vast for plein air and so appreciated! Do you ever paint with individuals in wheelchairs? I’m curious about the set up as I’m in a wheelchair when outside. I’m trying to decide on a palette. I was thinking U.Go because they open up flatly and are very portable.
I've painted in a seated position when I had a leg injury. I used my tripod easel instead of the one used in this video. I lowered it down so that my palette box was just above my lap. Sounds like the U.Go could work!
I just tried painting in Hawaii (just small gouache sketches) and the mountains in the distance had so much haze from the high heat and humidity, I really struggled getting the right value on them. It was like everything was glowing blue. Do you have any tips for getting that atmospheric perspective/distant haze? I’ve always used colors like cobalt and alizarin with gray to get it to push back but this was a whole new animal. Maybe I can take you to Hawaii so we can discuss it in person!😂😂💙
The problem I've had with distant hills has been painting them too dark. I have to remind myself to paint them lighter in value. Sometimes I'll lighten them up and they're still too dark when I get the painting home! As for color, some sort of blue or gray blue mixture push them back. Painting in Hawaii sounds so nice!
Michael Heard your comment that achieving the orange tone underpainting coming through was more difficult with a panel . Curious why. Is it because canvas absorbs more color?
Ahora el nuevo producto que se llama licuin es bueno para sustituir el antiguo aceite de linaza, para la pintura óleo, y hace que la pintura óleo seque tan rápido como la pintura acrílica. Genial 👍
Painting looks great as usual. Will you be doing more city scapes soon? Will your upcoming show include some city scapes too? Thanks for another informative, entertaining video.
Very nice color harmony on this one. I'm gonna try plein air this spring but I'm concerned about the packing up process after the session is finished. Can you film that part in a following video? I know if I'm not careful everything may end up with paint on them, I'm a bit clumsy. Thank you.
Hi hope ur doing good and having a lovely day I wanna get into oil painting, i wanna ask u what is the best brand of oil paint Thank u very much for ur videos
-( michael , the transparent shadows on the cliff you spoke of , accompany , surrounded , by flesh tone in the stone, of that which I can say look to sand with sea, where they touch in shadowed stone, past the first ripple of white water , a little further follow edge of the cliff base , where the descending stone caresses white water of the sea, the platinum etched as if on a mirror , the face of the ocean queen looks straight towards you , her full countenance is there )- 🤍
Beautiful. Tad - love your sky and Michael, nice transparent darks and warm light on those cliffs.
Thanks Maura!
🌞🙏
WOW these paintings are more and more precious... the colors and shapes of the hills and the waves and changes of tone... fantastic work
Thanks Carmen!
Great video and painting Michael. I’m loving these larger canvases and how they are encouraging you to approach your work from different perspective.
Thanks Andrew!

Always fascinating to watch you painting! Tad's sky was beautiful! And your values were perfect as usual! Beautiful painting!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I liked Tad's sky too. It looked very Edgar Payne-ish.
Such useful information on colour mixing, materials and equipment, as well as creating a beautiful and inspiring painting. Thank you so much.
Thanks Elaine!
Nice to see you going larger on canvas . Can really see the depth and drama of shapes . (I was at hobby lobby recently and they sell all sizes of canvas packs really inexpensively).

Thanks Roger! How's the quality? Blick has good deals on canvas and the quality is good so I usually go with them.

The Cali coastline is so different then the coastline I paint here (Nova Scotia). Your painting style is very inspiring. Beautiful work.
This seascape painting of yours is one of my favorites!!! 👍👍👍

Such a fun time painting and talking shop. Thanks for having me along. I always enjoy and appreciate it!
Yes, it was a great day! Looking forward to next time.
Yeah big canvas! Not for windy days! But I love the idea of making a big painting outdoors
I think I'll be ok if I turn the canvas so that it's inline with the wind. It's windy almost every day so I'm going to have to learn to deal with it! 😂
Comparing scale was interesting Mike, I find values in the rocks difficult but doing darkest darks first has realy helped.
Well done 👏👏👏
Thanks Bert! Yes, painting rocks can be a challenge. Especially dark rocks!
I love dad chamberlain as if he was my own father ❤️

Love this painting , great rendering on the rocks especially , thank you for another excellent video

super paintings (both). The warm banks light up everything. Thanks guys! NM Fran
Thanks Fran!

Thar was a very good painting! Totally agree with using canvas for larger sizes.
Thanks Paul!
I like the burnt Siena outline kept

Thanks for sharing as usual Mr. Chamberlain. Keep going bigger! I want to see you out there with a 48x60!!!
I think 30x40 is about as big as I can go with my current vehicle 😂

You could back the canvas with cardboard to block the illumination. It didn't really bother me. I didn't even notice it once the scrub in was finished.
It would be so great if you could show how to build an Anderson-like easel. French easels are so clunky and cumbersome.

For big canvasses, use clips that carry 2 pictures facing but not touching. about ten bucks.
Hey Michael good to see ya! 😊

Hello Adi!
Painting looks great as usual. Will you be doing more city scapes soon? Will your upcoming show include some city scapes too? Thanks for another informative, entertaining video.
Thanks! Yes, I'll be painting some cityscapes and the show will include some.

Thanks! I'll see what I can do
Bigger canvas bigger brushes? Especially for the toning?
As I mentioned I used a number 8 flat. A number 10 could have been helpful for toning and scrub in.
Love.

Hi hope ur doing good and having a lovely day

There are many good, affordable brands. I use Winsor and Newton, Utrecht, Rembrandt, and Gamblin.
Can you tell me the colour mix for the Sea Colours please
Good Morning Michael
