ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE plein air OIL PAINTING half moon bay CALIFORNIA

[@alecvesely8431]

I found this one of your most instructive videos. You were wrestling with the compressed values of an overcast day, the muted colors of the landscape, and a composition made up on the fly. Any one of these creates a challenge and you had all three! You had your work cut out for you. Fascinating to watch the problem solving taking place. Thanks for showing this.

[@margaretsmilligan9393]

I love how you are not afraid to try new subjects while out there, giving me the courage to have a go myself , thank you so much

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

I could tell from the sketch you were totally feeling it! Those blues in the ground are so nice! A good lesson for all of us, the landscape is the inspiration, and doesn’t have to be copied. You killed it!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Dennis! Miss you buddy!

[@ariahmyles]

@@chamberlainpaintings What up Dennis? and you "paint your lights with your darks" ...so true. never heard that before! Great painting Michael

[@chamberlainpaintings]

@@ariahmyles Thanks Ariah!

[@DennisTysonPleinAir]

Ariah Boyle Hey man! We have to paint soon. That lights and darks thing was like next level thinking. You have to be a new kind of chill for that stuff.

[@chellie2023]

What a fun painting session! I love watching you experiment and stretch your artistic chops.

[@braveheartx72]

I think your willingness to change things or to move things around, and your ability to render the image as if that were what you were actually seeing, is often what makes your paintings so successful. I've never oil painted or done plein air before, but you really make me want to give it a shot. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your experience and knowledge, Jon

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Jon!

@@chamberlainpaintings You're very welcome! If I ever get my act together and actually produce some paintings, I would love to show them to you and possibly get some feedback. Also, have you ever thought about adding affiliate links to the supplies that you use? It might not make you a lot of money, but it could be another source of income.

[@braddutson3559]

Great video. I particularly liked that you thought out loud as you were sketching the composition. I also liked seeing you make changes on the fly. The final product turned out beautifully.

[@samanthareimerart4627]

So many good tips on resolving the composition, checking for those straight lines, not being stuck on the composition in front of you. I'm a watercolourist and this is one of my favourite, 'go to' channels for painting.

[@Mikes10241]

I really liked the final result....beautiful work.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@kathytucker6560]

This is really nice. I am amazed how you push the pigment around to come up with a design rather than sketched thumbnails. I’ve always thought too many thumbnails would waste time while the light was changing minute by minute.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! Yeah, I've tried but can't seem to get into doing thumbnails. I like to get an idea with the viewfinder and then jump right into the painting process!

[@lillianbeamon1817]

- I have written in the wrong spot, if you listen to Her podcast called "" put your phone down"" on Spotyfy she accurately addresses, many, many of the problems in the world of people, emotions, peoples problems, i listened to it over a dozen times, the podcast I first listened to is called "" emotions ", I do recommend listening to all of the podcasts. I assure you there is no reason for the implied concern. If you really want , sift through comments where The Artist Michael Chamberlain had two other Artist's with him and his Mother drove out to make sketches. I was looking at the painting, time 10:15 into the video, I froze the image on screen, I see things in paintings that other people say are not there, not all paintings are like that to me. I sincerely apologize for any I may have caused you, Michael Chamberlain is a Magnificent Painter, Miss Chamberlain is a Successful Media Artist and World Fashion Model .

When I lived in Fremont I had to go to Half Moon Bay once a week. That was 28 years ago. It was my favorite place in northern Ca. I did a lot of sketches and paintings of it. Lunch was at a quaint old Victorian house. Love the painting. You paint the way I would love to.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Barbara Joan! Half Moon Bay has a really nice downtown. Love the coffee shops and restaurants. I should paint there more often!

[@charmcrumrine8750]

Working on achieving a good composition by shifting bits around is good practise as I tend to be too literal. The little tips I’m picking up from your thought processes are wonderful.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I think my work has improved greatly since I started seeing nature as raw materials for constructing a painting. It's so freeing and a more enjoyable way to paint. It's a very different process from duplicating what you see! I love it.

[@pleinaire8698]

I love to move things around! I just started doing it and what a difference it makes in the outcome of my paintings. Next maybe I'll try to start with a white board. I tone mine now but I can see how white could help with value.

Yes, moving things around feels very creative. It's fun and it makes for better paintings!

I’m in Montara. My painting style leans more towards post-Impressionism, however I still prefer to paint outside. And because of the quarantine I’ve had loads of time to practice, and it was your videos that inspired me to do so 😊

Wish you could have put the actual scene in the upper right-hand corner so we see how you're interpreting the landscape. But then again you'd need another camera. :)
