You're capturing the old railroad route....nice work. Iconic Pacifica.

[@williamwiggins6603]

Michael- excellent control of values and great brushwork. It’s very instructive to see your brushwork. I often overwork paintings. And observing what you do by actually doing less is very helpful. I am also taking a page from your book and doing quick sketches of under an hour, most of them at 30 minutes. It helps the entire process to get a brush and just paint with abandon. I also want to comment on my takeaway from Pescadero with Maura and Brian. It was so very helpful to see you explain to Maura your thought processes as it related to her treatment of your painting. The back and forth between both of you revealed lots about Maura a lot about you and a lot about the process. More of those ad hoc lessons would be extremely helpful. Great video. Really admire your work and glad I am able to watch you do your thing. Thanks.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks William! Learning to simplify and not overwork is a challenge for all of us. Focusing on big shapes has helped me greatly. Glad you enjoyed the video in which I work on a painting with Maura. More to come!

[@nettynet101]

Wahoo a video! Happy Painting!

[@AndrewBarrowmanArt]

Great painting and video Michael. I love the changes you made to the composition as you went along. Best wishes from Cornwall UK

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Andrew!

[@louloucr]

Thank you so much for being so descriptive when you paint. I really feel like i'm in the best art class possible and it gets me so inspired to paint. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@marreyes9202]

I really dont know anything about painting but I love to see how you explain the shadows, colors and proportions, its something relaxing and very educational for me, so thank you!!

[@matmacmillan5147]

Great advice re zooming in. I'll try that. The whole scene can be overwhelming! Thanks for another inspiring video. I will be doing more plein air thanks to your channel!

[@tuxedo_cats2]

It is so relaxing to watch you work! Love seeing all your progress and thoughtful composition

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Jana!

[@edithostrowsky6472]

Hope you are not impacted by all the rain! A truly wonderful painting. Great teaching commentary. Thanks for the wonderful experience of ocean sound and great painting.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Edith. There hasn't been much damage in my area. Glad the sunny days have returned!

[@ralphhancock7449]

Liked your comment about a small paintings' "zoomed in view" being readable from across the room. Nice insight!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Ralph. I learned that while participating in small works shows. Compose so your painting stands out!

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

Very nice painting, sir! Fantastic job! Cool location as well. The wind was really strong there! It must be quite difficult to paint all these rock shapes. Maybe painting the water is even more difficult, I don't know. You did it great. Have a good one! Greetings from the EU!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Olda! Yes, the wind was pretty strong that day. I was mostly protected but I was hit by an occasional gust!

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

@@chamberlainpaintings Well, I'm sure, it was way better than a hurricane! ... Actually, no one paints in a hurricane. A painting would be very abstract! lol Have a wonderful day!

[@steftalley]

It turned out to be a stunning little piece! You're such a great painter, Michael!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Stephanie! ☺🙏

[@angiestewart637]

I love watching your videos!!! I live on the southeast coast and wish we had huge rocks and landscape!! Thank you for sharing.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

One thing I love about painting on the east coast is that there are interesting houses or structures near the ocean. The coast here in California is either totally natural or it has uninspiring architecture. But, yes we do have rocks! 😂👍

[@susankahn7219]

Wow! It looks so good. You did a great job with values and your composition has a lot of movement. Nice diagonals.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Susan!

[@maggiefulop]

Great design and beautiful palette, as always.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Maura!

[@carmendavid9046]

Wonderful Video Thanks so much 🎉🎉🙏🙏

[@francoisdelfueyo4846]

Nice painting but I think that the composition would have been more interesting with a little less parallel lines (the horizon line of the ocean, the top of the cliff with the top of the rock and the waves)

[@glennsemmens3443]

Amazing!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

Starts with basic shapes to then more specific Wiped out the drawing in favor of the drama of the Pacific Camera blew over, stepped back to assess He looks a little close to the cliff edge, but I digress A review of the finished painting, safely back in the studio Patreon has more videos, don’t you know 🌊 I love the colors and the drama of the painting. It is really beautiful. You do look really close to the cliff edge in this one Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Suz! I was close to the edge but it wasn't too big of a drop. 😂👍✌💛

[@annlgs7303]

I really enjoyed and appreciated your teaching approach, sharing color mixes, color/temperature decisions, brushes used and why, brush strokes, and composition. Excellent video, and lovely painting! Thank you!!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@jmp3606]

GOD bless

[@peldridge2627]

I think you really captured the strong surf crashing against the rocks and foaming onto the beach - very atmospheric. Thanks for the glimpses of the ocean waves, too. The ocean's colors are so lovely. Really like this painting, as I do all your paintings. I'm a beginning watercolorist and don't understand a lot of your supplies, but your artistic eye and knowledge transfers to any visual medium. Thank you for bringing your art and the beautiful ocean to me this morning :-)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@lizsganga8440]

Love this painting. The composition is really interesting. Thank you for sharing!

[@nickrodis6862]

Thank you for sharing your seascape painting on the spot.

[@40bdg]

I like the composition a lot. Beautiful!

[@paulclarke3086]

Interesting painting this week focusing on the rock offshore. Particularly liked the strength of the waves coming into the shore. I agree, you need to get the composition right. Have you thought about a painting of the waves only crashing on the beach? I think your techniques could create a great painting. The limited palette is good as your colours harmonise with each other. Great painting - going back to small? I got the feeling you were trying to get bigger and bigger with the panels. Going by the weather conditions, you may have blown into the sea. I thought at one point in the video you were stepping back so far you were going over the cliff!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Paul! Maybe I'll go back and experiment with the waves. I usually go to Pescadero when I want to paint waves. As for painting smaller, I'm using up the rest of my 11x14"s. I'm thinking that i'd like to do more 18x24" plein air this year. That seems like a good size.

[@pleinaire8698]

Rockway Beach....My husband and I used to stay at the hotel there whenever we went to SF...great location for painting.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Yes, one of my fave spots

[@lukekayart]

Your self critique or analysis of your painting at the end is really interesting. As your thoughts are still quite fresh, do you find you often go back later through your videos to reference those thoughts?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I don't often rewatch my videos. The times I have, it's to see how I painted a particular painting.

[@RandomPiglet]

I’m not a painter, but still enjoy watching your videos! My husband paints however, and he’s started to watch your videos as well hehe. Thank you, Mr. Chamberlain! Love from Sweden🥰

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thank you! 😊💛

[@aleksprusa]

Really like the emphasis on the rock, great final product Michael! This is pretty inspiring as I’m gonna try some exaggeration and emphasis on a main focal point to capture in my next works!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Cole!

[@joycebutler3494]

Good to see you out painting! What a crazy lot of weather out there. Those waves are huge. Thanks for posting, nice painting.I do like the composition of the two rock formations playing off each other.❤

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Joyce! It's been a long time since we've had rain like this

[@mbhart]

That came together beautifully. My only thought -- at 9:26 I thought you were going to step back off the cliff :(

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! The cliff looked much closer and more steep in the video than it was in real life. I always play it safe!

[@normanhutchinson4177]

I like the way you composed this painting. I live near the coast and understand what you mean by finding an interesting composition in a larger scene. Glad you are not suffering in the storms. We have seen very bad reports on tv in UK.

You have the most beautiful light coming from behind the cliff and towards the large rock. And the colours you’ve used in the shadow water are superb. Love it!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Amanda!

[@Susiachi]

I’ve been thinking about you all week, knowing you’d be super frustrated with all the rain. Good to see you had a chance to get out to the beach again. Best wishes to California!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! I did a lot of cafe watercolor sketching so it wasn't too bad. I managed to get my art fix! I mostly missed being able to surf. The waves have been way too big

You mentioned the struggle, to start with an appealing drawing, I call it going to war with paint. 🎨🖌️🖼️

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I really enjoy playing around with different compositional ideas. The struggle is in being honest with yourself. If it isn't working, wipe it out and start over!

[@Audion]

@@chamberlainpaintings the more I paint the more I realize I need to slow down, watching you and others reminds me to loosen up and slow down at the start.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

@@Audion Yes, the start is crucial. Take the time to make sure the composition is solid before moving to the next step. Like I said in the video, sometimes I'll sketch out a several unsatisfactory compositions before arriving at one I like.
