CREATING LIGHT plein air OIL PAINTING

[@miltonwelch4177]

Thank you. Sometimes I wonder how tenured art professors and prof-assistants at fine art academies feel about this kind of videos posted and readily available. Lucky generation of art students, for sure.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Hmm... good question!

[@kerrykonecny800]

Nice painting...interesting analogy of music in a movie to light in a painting...thank you!

[@sophiefernelius2406]

You definetely have a great sense of light!! Love the old barn, I’m a sucker for old buildings!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Sophie!

[@artbykcappadona5166]

Michael, I feel so excited when you’re painting I feel like cheering. You paint quickly you get to the point fast. Your focal points are always great. It’s hard to express what you were talking about. I’ve often tried to say I want to paint the least amount, and still get the impression of what I was feeling down. So leaving it more like a quick sketch is exactly what makes the painting exciting, and allows the viewer so much versatility to complete the story. Just excellent!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@elisabethseeger5837]

That was great- interesting that before you lightened the grasses, they looked like water- standing muddy water, but when you lightened them up they reappeared as dry grasses- fun barn!

[@Audion]

Excellent closing summary on light.

[@edithostrowsky6472]

You really captured the feeling of a warm day and cool shadows. Your painting called to mind the Barn paints of Wolf Kahn.

[@gitajoneja1401]

It's a WOW, how well you captured the essence so one is drawn to look at it again, and kept it loose. Certainly inspires one to attempt something similar as 'Light' is what does the trick.

[@davidpaulgriffin]

I appreciate the way you voice your thought process as you work. There's a lot of good advice there.

[@sylhayes8152]

Love how you get straight into the painting

[@LeeAnnM]

Mission accomplished! Very nice Michael and you’re right the light (especially in California) is often the main subject. I hope to see it again.

[@sherrierichard2848]

Great feeling of light. Loved the middle value shadows. As alway, you do great drafting in buildings!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Sherrie!

[@suemcdonough3204]

That window that you added on the top made a huge difference. Love the fast pacing of your videos

[@nathanielovaughn2145]

Your painting is more beautiful than the photo!

[@donleblanc7223]

Great painting, you turned an old barn into a work of art.

[@59jaguar]

Good one Michael. I like the subject matter. Glad you slowed the pace of this video down too. Cheers

[@Krise343]

It’s so much fun watching your videos. I lived in Sonoma County for years and loved all the old, decrepit barns in our area, especially off River Road heading west to the ocean. Thanks so much again, Michael!✨🙏🏻💕

[@sandy411]

This is a great painting, Michael. You did indeed catch the light. What I like about the scene is that it takes me in and walks me past the building, Fun!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@janlangford2179]

I love old farm buildings too, you certainly caught the light. yet another informative video, bravo Michael x

[@cherratheehager5492]

Great video I’m new to Plein air. I learned so much.

[@chellie2023]

Nicely done, Michael! Lovely painting.

[@GlenysSherer]

You are one of my favourite painters to follow…..love your style and brushwork. I also admire your consistent habit of ‘getting out there’ to paint. It takes discipline and focus. Bravo!

[@terrychancellor4593]

Absolutely LOVE this!!! Beautifully done!!! I strive so hard to stay this loose and try to capture a subject in just an hour, this really motivates me!! Really stunning!

[@Susancarolart]

I really like this one

[@robbalbrecht]

Great stuff, Michael. Love the warm and cool relationships and the explanation of how you’re using them.

[@sharronboxenbaum7392]

Wonderful- very calming somehow.

[@eandrien]

[@andyhornberger758]

Beautiful painting! Always enjoy your videos and your work.

[@michaelsherck5099]

I think that the "feeling of light" was very well expressed -- I really see California in this painting and it's very exciting. I also think it would have been fun and interesting to see you channel Fauvism in this subject. A little Andre Derain "wild beast" would really let the creative currents swirl! 😊

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Michael. Maybe I'll look at a bunch of Fauvism and then go paint!

[@markparkey1218]

Michael , ‘’wild beast’’ , perhaps the painting is of another ‘title name’ , some of the artists work is untitled, a particular painting titled , ‘ The Surprise ‘ , does use lots of ‘’ white ‘’ . Further research explains that color usage most typically of , reds, blues, greens, orange, yellow, exaggerated colors. The term , in French ‘’ les Fauves ‘’ translates into the phrase ‘’ wild beasts ‘’ refers to a ‘’ group of the early 1900’s , artists who emphasized strong color, aka fauvism a post impressionist era, had three exhibitions, the style era 1904 and a little beyond 1910, the fauvism height being 1905 - 1908 . Perhaps the ‘Wild Beast ‘ title is from the ‘’Rococo’’ period .

[@markparkey1218]

Michael, this video , and your verbal instruction, narration, teaching about “‘ the artists”’ , the impressionists, ( more, all actually) , led to learning so much more about how artists perceive and express , even artists spanning the centuries, so fascinated. 🙂

[@petersenesac8102]

Great job of showing the light. One thing that really amazes me is how you paint with the camera in your hand. Somehow, you manage to keep the painting in full frame so you must be looking at the painting on the screen as you paint? Are you also blind folded and standing on one foot?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Haha, yes, sometimes I am looking at the screen.

[@malinka6125]

Creating light in the countryside Our intrepid artist is our guide Use both warmth and cool for contrast he seeks Let’s ignore the glove squeaks “Looks unfinished” is the cliche The artist said all he wanted to say Capture the building slant, its rickety Composition authenticity Uses light for the affect primal Pa-tre-on to support YT’s best channel 😁 I love the setting and the painting.

Hy there! Thanks for the video! Was wondering if you dont mind sharing how long you worked on this painting and usally how long u spend painting outdoor. Further more im intrested to know if you sometimes continue to work on the painting on the studio, adding littel details and fixes, if so why and if not - why not? Sorry for all the question, Thanks in advance :)

As I mentioned in the video I spent about and hour and did no touch ups afterwards. i spend more time if the canvas is bigger but no more than 2.5 hours.
