The more I paint, the more I appreciate your mastery of simplifying the composition, and doing it so quickly! The light is shifting, cars dissappear but you just go for it!
I don't know much about paintings but the realism of the nearby objects is impressive, although the nearest highway seems to me not to be seen as well, but I think that the lack of clarity or definition of the objects in the back that denotes that effect of poor sharpness due to the distance seems incredible to me 🔝
Your videos inspire me alwayes...actually I have started plein aire landscape a couple month ago...I feel very shy to start cityscape painting!!...how I overcome this fear infront of the people ?.. fear from doing mistakes...!!!!
I was nervous to paint in the city as well. The hardest part is setting up. Once you begin painting the nervousness goes away. After a few outings the fear will go away. Just go for it!
@@chamberlainpaintings Thanks so much for replying...I have just watched a video of you talking about the same topic..anexity and fear of painting in public and really that helped me....thanks again for your efforts .
Ive said before that the way you sketch out and scrub in your blocking is great to watch but also your loose style. I want to loosen up more in my work. Thank you.
I always feel trepidation about how you begin: it seems too loose, too general, sloppy. I then always feel amazement and admiration as you pull yet another rabbit out a hat with a wonderful final result. This one in particular!
I always like your city compositions. This had to be challenging, trying to capture such big scene with all those straight lines and cool cement colors. Your composition has more vibrancy and warmth with those sienna undertones. The video implied a lot more atmosphere and distance but I like your choices. Your scene invites the viewer, and that street compels our eyes out into that horizon. Instructive and interesting as always, great video. I have to catch up on your recent work. Thanks
Great tips on simplifying which is the hardest part to achieve in a cityscape! Great subtle shift in colors and color temperature from left, shadow, to right, sunlight. Good job! The wind has been so strong in SF, and you didn’t let it bother you!
I don't do much recon although that's not a bad idea. I paint in Russian Hill quite a bit since Studio Gallery is nearby. I often find my composition while looking for parking! 😂
@@chamberlainpaintings. Yes, Michael , love your paintings, sketches, block ins or rough ins. You may remember how silly me often imagines seeing other shapes, within shapes, ever since I was a youngster. Anyway, so beautiful at 2:47 , center, I see a person setting a Royal Cape upon the shoulders of another. ( many or most cannot see this ). Think of a person of Royalty that wears a ruling cape , such as Kings and Queens often, always wore, historically. The Queen is worthy allowing the Royal Cape to be set upon their shoulders. Such beautiful Imagery in your paintings. Also the actual composition painting as well. Thank you for allowing me to see them.
