30X30 inch FISHERMAN oil painting process

[@dianerose4469]

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

[@davidpaulgriffin]

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.

[@sjrl1999]

The photo really portrayed it well in the painting 🙌

[@kerrykonecny800]

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

[@martinh8701]

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

[@DQ_ArtGroupie]

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.

[@pattititman1621]

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!

[@las174]

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

[@Wildflowerartstudio]

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

[@Lauragld]

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

[@KayInMaine]

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

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Kay!

[@ricklabadie172]

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

[@macmacancheese5188]

Brilliant ! A fantastic result.

[@loriemccown3899]

This is how it’s done! Nice work.

[@dorothyscott701]

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

[@christianday8430]

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.

[@ArtReso]

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

[@elizabethstrouth4958]

Nice composition!

[@cedricwilford]

Awesome! Thanks for showing your process.

[@Thatsme.KMarie]

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. ❤

[@bearynicebear]

lovely lovely painting

[@Duanemadill]

[@luiscalvillo3725]

Amazing as always

[@HaileyHanks]

Mornin' Michael! So cool, I really enjoy learning from your work. You're a great teacher:)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Hailey!

[@HaileyHanks]

@@chamberlainpaintings Thank you for all the inspiration😇

[@tmreinhart]

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

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Yes, usually 4-5 times per week!

[@ccosmoss]

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

[@chamberlainpaintings]

It’s a Blick premier canvas. Acrylic gesso has been applied by the manufacturer. I don’t do anything to the canvas before painting on it.

[@ccosmoss]

@@chamberlainpaintings thank you for your answer Michael! 👍🙏

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

[@PetaWilliams-j3u]

Nice

Good morning Michael

Good morning Mark

@@chamberlainpaintings - Beautiful , nicely skilled, this is a keeper for Gallery / Auction , ( michael, so many errands here )

[@oldmanandthesea7039]

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

[@chamberlainpaintings]

The light is better. Plus I rarely paint from photos

[@davidbirch9558]

Great but how did you paint the fishing rod so accurate.?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I used a straight edge for the bottom half and then free handed the top half.

[@davidbirch9558]

Thanks for response

[@haxel222]

Every time I watch your video I feel so inspired!

[@jaylueckel3174]

Ditto

[@Fatma-fs8yq]

I've been following you for years... every video of yours amazes me more you were and still are the best artist ever. Wish you all the best 🤍

[@timprichard1831]

Love it!
