Michael, there's something really appealing about pieces like this. You know, the kind that you see across the room at a gallery and it's easy to see what it is, but it's just begging for you to look at it closer, and then it blows you away with its simplicity. That's skill. As you're creating it, it emerges much like a sculpture would, (I think you mentioned that once in one of your videos way back). Hmmm, an 8" x 8" with a #8. Coincidence? Yup, that's what a coincidence is.
Great demo! Amazing how little blobs actually turn into cars - bravo! Love the yellow-purple contrast that emerges too. Thanks for sharing your process!
I really liked this one!! I do this occasionally with my pastel paintings. It's a great exercise in filtering out the non-essentials and focusing on the important shapes, colors and values. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing
Wow....awesome self challenge!! In the last few seconds the red really defined the cars in the foreground. You're videos have really taught me a lot, and given me a few laughs as well.
Happy to see you do this one. The detail on the sides of the building kills me (when I try) but seeing you do it make me think of another approach. Thanks again Michael. This is a good one!
This was really fun to watch Mike. "Will he make it, won't he make it ?" Lol. I love this approach and I'm going to give it a try this afternoon. Simplifying is key, and you have a great talent for eliminating the unnecessary, and allowing the viewer to fill in the detail. A great exercise. Thanks Mike.
Staying with those large shapes for as long as you can really helps this painting. You’ve done it again. Thanks so much for all you share. Have a great New Year 🍷 Tallahassee
Super helpful! I find it so hard to simplify and "get rid of the noise", so to speak. Learning what to focus on and what to eliminate is definitely a learned skill. Thanks 👍
Nice quick work, it would have taken me 20 minutes for the composition. Come out to northwest Indiana, bring a tube of titanium white, it snowing like crazy.
Bravo Mike, for what is worth these kind of videos help me a lot because I always overdo, and watching you simplifying that complicated photograph into that cool fast painting is very valuable for me. It's not like I'll go in that direction but it's extremely useful to know how to work out simple shapes.
Hi Michael, I just wanted to say that you're an huge inspiration and I'm always excited to watch your vlogs. It would be really cool if you could film some food related stuff or books you recommend :) Greetings from Switzerland! Tiffany
Just wow, I wish maybe one day with more experience be like u, who knows. But actually in my opinion this is such a masterpiece especially when you consider the time frame 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Another Awesome instructional video Michael. You really are generous to do these! You empower the viewer/artist to say "yes, I can do this!" by breaking it down for us. I hope your fan base of viewers will show appreciation by becoming PATREON supporters! The cost is a fraction of online classes and incredible value! Thanks
-( Michael- I like that particular shade of blue for sky, like shades of that blue alot, the green shade , like it also, conveys pleasant feelings ""to me"" dont know why, into the city see the "" black predator cat, panther'head is in Silhouette 2-3 stories up on left building face,(hope you can see it), across street on opposite building see a "shadow of dove wings, " near, more near 1 story up, hints of red,( blood), hinted at. Also ,, some black "weaves "left and toward foreground of painting, up in the buildings, "" The Hunting Panther"", to me, (michael , I dont look at what you paint from, I feel, perceive what your CREATIVITY makes me see, I Loved this so much.
Hey Michael! I'm currently working on a large commission piece of a building. Lots of geometric shape, and I'm used to working more organically with nature scenes. Would you say its imperative to use a ruler to ensure straight lines? Do you think I could apply this same technique you use on a larger scale? My style is a bit more refined than the way you paint, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are. Maybe too ambiguous of a question, but I suppose what I'm really wondering is if you apply this same blocking technique to your larger scale pieces?
Bonsoir Mr Chamberlain Pourriez vous m’indiquer si votre première couche est appliquée simplement avec le solvant Gamsol et les autres couches sont avec le liquin pur ? En vous remerciant
Tu perfeccion en la simplicidad es abrumadora Michael. Con poco muestras mucho, gracias por enseñarnos a sintetizar y ver lo más determinante de cada composición.
