BLOCKING IN LIGHTS oil painting DEMO in REAL TIME

[@aval5938]

i can watch ur videos for hours on end. your videos have taught me so many different techniques, thank you mr. chamberlain!!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I'm so glad!

[@johnA012]

In the artworld, nothing exceeds the experience of seeing artwork in person. You've included a rare/ brief close up of your painting. Seeing a macro view of brushwork and layering of medium(s) is the next best for the viewer

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks John!

[@martingimenez339]

This will be fantastic, I dig the panorama format a LOT.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Martin!

@@chamberlainpaintings omg tysm for replying!!!! I’m crying I’m a huge fan. Your so talented

[@potsrme]

I really enjoyed watching this extended presentation of your process. I think it’s really valuable to see how other artists work, and the more complete that view is, the more helpful, in general. Watching the whole process is the reason I joined Patreon, and I am looking forward to digging back through your archives. Amanda

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Amanda!

I'm really enjoying this Mike. I've been watching you for a couple of weeks now, and what a difference it has made to my paintings. I've painted in a realistic style for years, but I'm loosening up and really liking how my work is turning out. You have made me realise that I don't need to paint every detail, just create an impression. I've always known that, but couldn't put it into practice. Thanks so much.

[@maiapeterson3853]

senior in art school but this has been my favorite class! thanks for your teachings!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Love that! 😊

[@inessantos8936]

I really like your style of painting! I feel like its really unique and brings me a lot of joy! You earned a portuguese fan right here!!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! Glad you like my work!

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

I see by other comments that I’m not the only one who has been inspired by you to go looser and more sketchy. I’m working at it, but why does yours look so great with so little, and mine? 😩 just looks unfinished. I’m “ getting it’ , but I know you have to be a really good painter before you get that loose look. Not easy I know. That’s why I admire artists who can do that.. As always Michael, thank you so much. Tallahassee

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Keep working on it and you'll get it! It does take time. Keep going! 😊

[@christianday6759]

This is becoming a very beautiful painting of what would normally be thought to be a mundane subject. Your composition in both the reference photo and the painting are spot on. Monet had his Gare Nord and you have Bakerfield! Tres bien!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Christian!

[@alvinray9080]

I liked how you described that sketchy feel, and the reflections on the right truck. That left truck too could be good on it's own like on a 8x8 or 12x12.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Alvin!

[@filliere4576]

A suggestion, Michael; take a square-top bristle brush and guillotine it at a sharp angle so you have a clean, clear pointed wedge of bristle remaining. It'll give you detail, and edge control, without reaching for a smaller brush.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I’ll give it a try!

[@pleinaire8698]

this reminds me of your bakersfield railroad crossing painting...well done!!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@markparkey1218]

-(Michael)- -( I feel your patience in this painting, your reasoning, you add that which is needed and where, like a uniqueness of your “”spirit thought”” is so methodically processed, I look forward to the culmination, I greatly admire the way you have done this , also admire the sharing of your creativity, I love the painting

[@dk15098]

Your videos are awesome. I am doing oil painting for 20 yrs now bit ur techniques are really helpful . Love from india ❤️

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@lilymia9874]

You’ve inspired me to switch from drawing to painting so I can be loose instead of hyper realistic like you’re style of painting. You’re work is amazing

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! Glad to have inspired you!

[@preetikajain9498]

Waiting for the next one!!

[@josephrichardson7366]

Great video and painting, love how you changed the background to, I agree, a better one for a painting. I'd say to get the transparency back either thinned down rag to wipe it away then dry it off and re apply orrrr I am finding smearing it around with your finger has some fun effects :)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Joey!

[@matthewgyulay2961]

Beautiful work Michael. The looseness is exemplary and the transparency really adds depth. I have to admit, I kind of liked the look of the burnt sienna foreground in front of the food truck when it was more transparent, but I'm guessing that it was reading as too much chroma for the scorched earth of Southern California. I am curious about what you think it needs in your eyes to call it finished. The burnt sienna sketch coming through really brings it alive too. Nice!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! I’ll finish it in he 4th video. I haven’t ever filmed the final stages of a painting because so much of the process is just sitting and looking. We’ll see how it goes

[@lunabouch]

This particular painting reminds me a bit of artist Wayne Thiebaud’s style.

[@kaitlyncharnley]

This art style is so good. No matter what you paint I always love it:)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@retiredpainter259]

Thanks again Michael , I might have a go at something similar myself now . Sounds like you have rain outside

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I was standing near a fountain 😊

[@sherrierichard2848]

Really shaping up great! Color choices on the big trunk are so good. Format you choose was perfect for these big shapes-good composition too. Can’t wait to see what you end up finishing or not (?)

[@phisquared6187]

This was enjoyable, also informative. Thanks for doing it, and taking the time and effort to share your process and experience with us.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@bradad2026]

Liking how the brush is an expressive extension of your thought process. Will there be any more instalments of your composition series?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Yes, I’ll do more videos on composition 😊👍

[@Kevin-je3sm]

This is amazing you’re so talented !!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@sallygruber2749]

Fun!

[@pleinaire8698]

hi Michael.. you talk about keeping the transparency in your oil painting...can you tell me more about that??? i'm also interested in keeping my oil paintings more transparent....somewhat like watercolors..

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Maybe I'll make a video on the subject!

[@honeygirlsapiary]

Excellent! You said just shapes and values or something similar...maybe I can paint some things that are intimidating after all...just shapes and values :)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Exactly!

[@jonron4729]

👍👍👍

[@theeaselrider4032]

Had you listened to me, and pushed the whole thing back, your figures would have been a couple quick dabs of paint & your done. I do like where it's going though. I'll keep watching.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

There are many ways this scene could be painted. Glad you like where it's going.

[@lauradumont-boyer1914]

Might be a bit late to the party to get an answer, but about your patreon: when we subscribe, do we get acces to the older videos AND 2 new videos per month, or 2 videos of our choice per month and the rest remains blocked? :)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

You get access to all of the older Patreon videos, plus a minimum of 2 new Patreon videos per month. You won't be billed until the first of the next month, so you can check it out and unsubscribe before being billed if it's not for you.
