Love the suble color changes, Michael. The ocean is like a three-year-old who can't sit still for a portrait painting, yet you've managed to capture it beautifully. Thank you for showing us that it can be done.
Love your beautiful colors and sharing the way you mix on the fly. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to be so free with a brush but watching you work, and with your running commentary, I think I can find a way to try! Thanks so much for this!!
You make it look so easy. I need to try my hand at oils again. I’m one who paints with gouache and watercolor so oil seems so sticky to me. But I love oil paintings and the moodiness they give off.
Painting waves One of his faves A limited palette and squeeze out wastes less Five colors and no particular white, I guess Uses complementing colors to gray Having fun the spontaneous way Sky reflections, energy direction Check out Pa-tre-on, make the connection 🌊 Love this. The colors are simply beautiful and they work so well together. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Excellent lesson Michael thanks. Painting with urgency allows for the image (that makes zero sense up close) to reveal itself when we step back. The viewer’s brain is an amazing thing, we’re wired to see known, familiar patterns. It’s nothing less than magical when we step back to the sweet spot and suddenly everything that seemed a mess flows together and becomes realistic and dynamic. I particularly enjoy in your painting the way the water is draining beck into the water from the sand as the wave is coming in. Thanks again. I’ve been quite undisciplined these last few months and this is just the inspirational kick in the pants I needed.
The limited palette really works. This painting is so harmonious. Im so impressed not only by the painting but that you are wearing a white sweatshirt while painting😂
Thanks Louise! Are you referring to reflected light regarding my sweatshirt? It's funny, I've never found that to be a problem. Maybe because I'm used to painting without an umbrella at the beach. There's light bouncing off of everything! 😂
Your painting is very powerful and makes me feel that I'm right there, sharing the moment. Your graceful and melodic lines, asymmetries, contrasts of edges and temperature, colour harmony and composition balance are all spot on for your painting.
I love the way you explain what you’re doing & thinking throughout the video. I appreciate you mentioning the paint colors and brushes and medium used. I haven’t painted since high school and I would love to continue learning and practicing after years of abandoning it. Absolutely love your videos.
Have really been enjoying the limited colour palette series Michael!! Too easy to think more colours means better paintings but you're showing us how exactly wrong that idea can be. Love your easy going, no nonsense narration and video style!! I live at a surfer's beach in Australia so all your paintings are very relevant to my local area too. TFS!!
Michael, I have really enjoyed this beach video. You made this limited palette work so well. The lovely color changes and soft grays are perfect for this scene, along with the more saturated colors in the sky and waves. Thank you for sharing this painting adventure with us! It has been very educational, as well. This is the first time I have watched you paint, but not the last. I subscribed to your channel.
Good morning Michael, 0:04 , ( freeze frame, getting ready, hmm remembering the hum of a large semi hermetic refrigerant compressor, as used in larger , walk-in coolers and, or walk-in freezers, this is a similar location that sparks the sound memory ( of your, a painting video, perhaps years before ) 🤔💭💭🧐 eager to see now 😁🙂
Love the limited palette idea! Very economical. You're so right about painting from photos. It's just not satisfying. Need to come to CALI prob be 2024...
Amazing painting, sir! I'm sure that to paint something like this must be pretty challenging. You did it great! Btw. 6:44 "It's all about relativity!" Yeah! Einstein thought so too! Greetings from the EU!
Interesting to find a paint and brush brand called Utrecht given that I live in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. They do not sell here. 😉Nice video and painting 👍👍
Hi brilliant video. I know you said in the video what color mixes you used, but I would like to try and copy some particularly these two types of blue mixes. In the video at 10:30 minutes in and 14:00 minutes in the, there is a lighter different blue and another different one. What are they please? One kind of blue for the wave and another for the background sea. Thank you
Thanks. The mixtures you're referring to were made with ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, and titanium white. I would suggest making color charts using these colors in order to see the variety of colors that are possible. If you push the mix toward ultramarine it will be more blue, if you push the mix toward burnt sienna it will be greener. Hope that helps!
Hi Mr. Chamberlain, can you share what camera and lens you use to film Emma’s travel vlogs? I love the image quality and would like to know. Thank you! ♥️ ✌🏽
I think it's one of the most difficult things to learn as a painter. Just make a stroke and leave it. Sounds simple but it's not! Most humans have a tendency to want to clean up, which is good around the house but not so good for painting. 😂
@@chamberlainpaintings as you demonstrate to us, and we slowly absorb, most of the painting happens on the pallete, not on the canvas. That is very hard to learn for me at least. Pre-mixing colors, versus mixing colors on the fly, as you say color harmony from the existing colors you've already mixed, builds upon Harmony in the final result. I found this to be especially evident in my master copies of Paul Cezanne.
@@Audion Yes, and also stepping back after making a stroke to see how it reads from a distance before blending and overworking! Stepping back also helps us see whether or not the color we've mixed needs adjustment.
Painting waves is my grief as it's the only time I go back to that extreme desire for uniform. I don't know how to break it. It's not a problem with other landscapes and portrait. I don't understand my mind why it reverts back
I agree that painting waves is a challenge unlike any other. I suppose clouds are similar, but they move much slower so they're easier to observe. Just keep painting waves! You'll figure it out and it will have a positive effect on your overall painting ability.
