Thanks!
I really appreciate the end of your videos when you show your painting in the studio and do like a self critique.
You always get a beautiful luminosity in your colours Michael. It seems to stem from your initial canvas staining and very scratchy brushwork keeping everything alive. Your drawing is also so incredibly loose as well as the painting. When you start to block in it never looks like it is going to finish up so wonderful. Most of your work has a look like it is only 95% finished if you know what I mean but that's what makes it look so interesting I feel.
I think I'm learning a lot from watching your videos. Thank you.
ALWAYS enjoy your videos - the dance of - transparent and opaque, energy and calm, thin and thick…..thank you again for sharing Michael.
Thanks Lesley!
Great tip about the vanishing point on the horizon... 🤯
Also... I just love this painting. Stunning
A return to the lighthouse in Malibu
Both guys looking about twenty-two
Michael focused on details and geometry
Ariah’s a homage to beach and cliffs grandiosity
Luminous, translucent but the wind is an ogre
Cerulean sky fades to horizon of yellow ochre

I feel terrible about the camera. Your painting is beautiful. I like the details you included of the lighthouse this time. I hope Ariah finished his painting. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Thanks Suz! I'm surprised I haven't lost a camera before. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually! I've been feeling extra scruffy lately so I really appreciated the line in your poem about looking twenty-two 😂🙏
I originally thought the camera falling was just a fancy transition and was commending you on your creativity. 😂
It did make for a good transition 😂
So interesting to hear how you get your colors. The whitewater has purple in it! Brilliant. Makes it come alive. Burned sienna to tame the blue. Going from ultramarine to Phtalo blue…. Thanks for the tips! So helpful! Love the results. Sorry about the camera. It was kind of funny how it ended and I like that you left that bit in.
Thanks Susanne!
Great painting. Love the energy. I like how you handled the color in the sky, it’s a little detail, but it really captures what is happening. Sorry about your camera.
Thanks Andrew! Clear skies can be a challenge. My hope is to capture a feeling of airiness and space while still having some visible brushwork. Glad you like!

Me: CLICK

Carrying that straight edge with you is such a great idea! I don't presently have one in my paint box, but I will add one.
There's a painting of a seascape by Childe Hassam, at the Smith College Museum of Art, that drives me crazy, because he painted a sloping horizon line. It's just slightly off...
but it's OFF!
Every time I go there and see it,
I mentally adjust it.
The straight edge I used is the leg extension for my easel. I know what you mean regarding the horizon. It's got to be perfectly straight and horizontal! 😂👍
Sorry to hear about your camera Michael. It's hard to see such a beautiful day and be told that it's cold and windy. But, cold is cold and wind is wind and both can be frustrating to create in. A beautiful piece came from the effort. I love the light at the horizon. I have always loved the way a sky will fade to a creamy yellow. It seems counterintuitive to paint it that way but it is very real, and beautiful. Especially in a painting.
Thanks Matthew. It was warm and beautiful when we started! It was still a great day, despite losing the camera. Painting the yellow at the horizon can be tricky since it can mix with the blue if you're not careful. Yellow ochre seems to work better than cads which can create unwanted greens.
I do look forward to your videos every week and I enjoyed watching this one - except perhaps when the camera went splat. Oh nooooo!!!!!!
As always, a beautiful painting! I especially love the cool teals and blues and purples in the tower and the warm browns in the rocks below.
Glad you guys didn’t blow away out there in the windy surf. Stay safe!
Thanks Lisa! We were both surprised how windy it got out there. It wasn't in the forecast! We still had a great time 😊
Beautiful paintings Ariah and Michael. Love the yellow in the sky, Michael, and the translucent rocks, along with the violet note in the foam. So sorry about the new camera.
Thanks Maura! 😊
I was very intrigued about the vanishing point and getting the angles right on the building. I would love if you could show a little more on this technique. I am sorry that your camera fell and broke. I gasped when it happened 😮🥺. Your painting came out beautiful “as usual “ great job!
Thanks Alison! I'll talk more about vanishing points in a future video 😊👍
As a subject Malibu gives and gives and she is always showing you a new look. I love the lifeguard tower, and your use of dox purple. I have been using it more myself. I love how it is cool yet has warmth depending on what one wants or needs from it. Really nice picture. Too bad about the camera. Hope it had a good warrantee. Your subs appreciate the videos and your hard work
Thanks Brandon! I love painting in Malibu. Lots to paint!
A nice glow in your painting that really captures that feeling of the light of the scene. Sucks about your camera! You seem to have a good attitude about it. Plein air is so challenging.
Thanks Lesley!
Really nice sky. The top mix of ultra marine and white echoing the purple in the sea. Hope your warranty covered your camera accident!
Thanks David! Unfortunately the camera wasn't protected. It's the first one I've lost in 5 years of filming. Not too bad.
Join Patreon! He needs a new camera!! Plus the content on Patreon is valuable.
RIP camera, even though a life was short doesn't mean it wasn't well lived 🤣 I really dig how thin you left the paint on the hill, it's a nice contrast against the strokes of highlights and green you put in
Thanks Scott! Right, it's quality not quantity!
Ya dude. Painting was killer! LOVED that house portrait standing behind him in his shop! Would've loved yo see a closeup of that one
Realy enjoyed this one Mike, two different but great prespectives, the sky and water tones were very good. Shame about the camera, hope it lives mate.
Thanks Bert!
Hi Micheal…the close up paint colors of the building were just beautiful. I know others commented that they like the rocky cliff under it and to my taste it seems a bit too transparent. I could see the cliff being more solid to support the weight of the building. Anyway, just a thought.
Cheers -Greg
Thanks Greg! The transparency is only really noticeable when viewed up close. From a distance it looks solid. The transparency creates luminosity in the darks, which is what I'm after. Thanks for your thoughts 😊
Understood, makes sense. -Greg
So sorry to hear about your camera. It must have been really annoying especially as it was new. However I love the painting. It’s amazing how realistic the cliffs are yet when you’re up close the paint work is quite thin. Obviously your brush strokes are very good too so that encourages me to work harder on that. Thank you for posting.
Thanks, it was a bummer to lose the camera but it helped that I was excited about the way the painting was developing. As for the brushstrokes, it really helps to walk back after scrubbing in a section. Your painting will look very different from 10 feet away. The thin sections add luminosity when viewed from a distance!
Bummer about your g7x. :( feel for you... love the cliff, rocks and water, colors are gorgeous!
Thanks!
Sooo sorry to see your camera go down. This is an example of why artists can’t just give their work away. Supplies and stuff are expensive.
So true!
i love these videos id love to see and equipment tour
Ok I'll keep that in mind for the future 😊
Beautiful spot, and beautiful works, i specially like the three tone sky. Sorry for the camera!!!!
Thanks Juan Carlos!
Sorry about your camera! I was really digging the close-ups at the beginning too.
Love your videos❤️ your so talented
Saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷
Thanks! 😊
Awesome, guys! But a new camera! That was crazy! Sorry for the camera loss. But still have a good one!!!
Thanks Olda! It was still a great day
@@chamberlainpaintings That's good to hear! I can't even imagine, if I would lose or destroy my own laptop. That would kill me. lol ... Not only because of cost, but mainly because of all my favorite data stored there, which not all of them are duplicated on another memory discs/cards... Have a nice day!
Love it, that's a pretty nice spot to paint. Sorry about your camera. Things here are a mess, mother in law with heavy Covid, almost crosses over to the other side because she wasn't vaccinated, I've been running like Forest since 10 days ago. My parents and my sister in their summer vacation all with Covid, all vaccinated and boosted thank god. It's a mess I need a vaction myself, but there's no escape from this ffs.
Wow, so sorry to hear. Hang in there Martin. Many in my family have had it as well. Thankfully everyone is ok. When does it warm up in the south of France?
@@chamberlainpaintings Thank you Mike...it warms up around May but my parents are in plain summer in Argentina and everybody got it.
Very nice, I really like this one.
Thanks Raynola!
Sorry about your camera...but is so good watch your videos! Do you have some step by step tutorials? Be safe!
Thanks Henrique! I don't have step by step tutorials but I'm working on a series of videos for Patreon that cover my whole process.
I never understood how to decide where exactly to put a vanishing point... How do you do it?
I'll try to explain in a future video 😊👍
Great job, sir. 👍
Thanks Robert!
This particular painting has a "Hopper" look to it...guess you won't be filming on windy days anymore...
All we get are windy days! 😂 I'll get another camera and keep going. It's the unpredictable gusts that cause the damage. One of the challenges of making videos!
Sorry for the camera loss. Like the energy in this piece. I’ve been awol. Moving about 5 hours south . Need to catch up with you. !
🌴. Tampa , Florida 🌴
Thanks Barbra Joan! Welcome back and good luck with the move 😊
Beautiful sky…shame about the camera…I’ve got a Canon AE1 film camera from 1982 that has fallen down granite mountains, been dropped more times than you’d believe and it still works…guess technology is a trade off.
I use canon g7x cameras and they're pretty delicate. Great image quality and they're small. Perfect for making videos. This is the first one I've lost in 5 years. Not bad!
Good Morning Michael : )
Good morning Mark 😊
Hi! :) I’m 22 and I myself love painting. My entire life all I’ve ever heard is how I should pursue art as a career, however, I’m not currently. I’m really passionate about painting, but I feel like the art industry is a bit ruthless, and sometimes it feels hopeless to get into. Do you have any advice for me being a young person not exactly sure where to take their art?
Here's a link to an advice video I made a while back: czcams.com/video/vwTNFONtcFg/video.html
@@chamberlainpaintings well thank you kind sir!! Good day mate 🥨
Hey Cassie , any relation to Jeff ?
@@daikayll1897 Not that I know of!! :)
Oh Michael, sorry about the camera ,
Thanks Mark. It was still a great day!
Should have included the US Flag.
I thought of including the flags but they were outside the picture frame. I could have lowered them but I felt they would draw too much attention at the top edge of the painting.
