30X30 inch FISHERMAN oil painting process 

Michael, I love the fact that you are always trying new things...watercolor, palette knife and now a figure! It's exciting and encouraging for me to see you do this. thanks

Another really nice painting. That pop of red was just what was needed. It instantly draws the eye to the center of interest. With the sand having a reddish tone keeps it from overpowering the eye. I love how the lines and value contrast moves the eye throughout the painting. Beautiful.

Very nice...good comment about putting down a brush stroke and leaving it...I need to work on that!

Really like the dark outline on that figure… gives it sort of Gauguin-vibe. Thanks for sharing this awesome work!

Great painting. For me, the upper line of white water and the upper green water boxes in the fisherman and I want to feel the freedom and fresh space of the ocean. Love all your work and look forward to it on Sunday! Carry on surfer dude!

Great painting. I love that you did a figure painting. Thanks for sharing .

Thanks so much...especially helpful to see you laying on the last colors of loaded brush work.....

Always look forward to your postings, very helpful pointers explaining your process well done.

Love this figure painting, Michael! The red backpack near the green pants is *chef's kiss*!

The photo is boring, the painting is wonderful. Some kind of magic there!

Brilliant ! A fantastic result.

So great to see this come to life! I’ve been wanting to add figures to my landscapes and this taught me so much 🎉

Great subject. Great painting. With simplex (yet complex) shapes of color for the fisherman, you really capture the man. The eye fills in the details and it's very convincing.

Great job love your work. I’m a very tight painter and trying to break my style. You are an inspiration.

Is it strange that my favorite part is the sketching out? There is something I find magical in there…. I get kinda sad when it’s covered but the painting is always beautiful. ❤

Awesome! Thanks for showing your process.

lovely lovely painting

Maestro è un piacere seguire i tuoi video.

Just wonderful

The photo really portrayed it well in the painting 🙌

Amazing as always

Would love to see you paint a surfer/surfing scene. Are you still getting out?

as always I am fascinated again. One question please; have you covered your canvas with gesso or something else before painting?

A+

Nice

Good morning Michael

Why do you choose to paint outdoor? For your kind of subject, you could very well paint inside your studio.

surf Striper run should be on.. a great time of year to be around the Golden Gate and outer beaches.. Happy Equinox

Really great! I do love the loose, casual impressionistic feel, rather than some overworked thing. I oil paint too.

Looks great!! You found a way to capture a lot of the looseness and feel of your plein air process, and still remove distractions and variables like in the studio.

This was a fun one, and something so different than I've seen you do before.

This is how it’s done! Nice work.

Nice composition!

Every time I watch your video I feel so inspired!

Nice work! I love it
