[@thepatsyfamily]

Ahh, the mood of that Emma painting with her iPhone, the darkness, I love it. Even though the subject isn’t dark, rather the opposite really. That one looks rainy or dreary and the colors are great. It’s got a jazz vibe.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks, glad you like! 😊

[@Deel997]

The Eureka squinty faced Emma one is so so beautiful, the personality really jumps out. I clicked so quickly because I was captivated by the thumbnail.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@kateellenberry]

Love that I could tell whenever a painting was of Emma - crazy that you can tell it's her even when the brushwork is so lose! 👏👏👏

[@rosies9362]

Loveeee the one of Emma with the car. I’m amazed at the likeness you capture with such minimal detail.

[@AmyVChurch]

The way the light hits all the buildings is so on point!

[@LeslieStroz]

Wow. Can’t even pick a favourite, there is so much quality and diversity. ❤️

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Leslie! 😊

[@lillost4198]

This is so fantastic. I wish I had a parent that painted me from time to time. It’s so special and seems full of love.

[@emily-sg2cu]

I love the one of Emma with the iPhone, the colors are stunning!

[@Blissbb]

i agree

[@joycebutler3494]

That was so much fun to see the paintings that you choose to live with and what they mean to you. Thanks for the tour, they are all wonderful in their own way.😀

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Joyce, glad you enjoyed the tour. 😊

[@Stephshouse23]

I love the dark rich colors and the contrast of the light in the painting of emma with a new phone, i think it just has such a romantic feel in an impressionistic style which I love

[@vishnukaura9]

Wow you are insanely skilled. Saving up my money to buy one of your paintings one day😊

[@saimah731]

Wow, your paintings are amazing! I really loved the one with Emma walking by the car... I thought it was a picture at first!

[@greenteawithbees]

You have an incredible sense of light and dark in paintings that is truly a talent

[@ariahmyles]

The painting of the lighthouse cut off at the top is amazing! I love that composition!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

We'll have to paint Maine sometime. I think you'd love that area. haha, no surf tho!

[@Mc23640]

I really enjoyed the family paintings. It’s a nice and unique way of displaying one’s family without necessarily using photos

[@davidgough3512]

A real treat to see and hear about so many pieces ! As with music, if the artist likes the song or painting, people will usually like it too. Even when it's about something personal that one wouldn't think "the public" would relate with, that often seems to somehow work even better.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I agree! I've always trusted in that and it works. I've sold paintings in a wide range of subjects. If a painting is honest and well done it'll find a home eventually.

[@BrookeFallsMusic]

all of your paintings are really fantastic and i especially love the painting of emma with her hair up and wearing the sunglasses by the car!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Brooke!

[@viktoriazaikina295]

that's kinda wierd but u remind me so much of my teacher in artschool. u have the same approach to painting. i mean keeping the painting super loose, working fast, focusing on big shapes, etc. your every video brings a smile on my face😁 because they are very comforting and inspiring.

[@raemariecollins]

i always come back to this video just to see your paintings

[@filliere4576]

Thank you for the very agreeable overview of what you have kept for your own walls. Especially like those at 4:00; 6:05; 7:00 and their bare-bones essentials of composition and paint.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks!

[@laurapiacente8924]

I really enjoy your work. A bucket list item of mine is to buy a cityscape near the river in Chicago painted by you. It’s my favorite city in the world! Have you done any painting of the scenery there?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I’ve never been to Chicago. I must visit!

[@smithy2646]

This was lovely to look through your personal collection and hear all your thoughts and inspiration! I haven’t painted in oil paints in year, I’ve moved to more digital portraits recently but you’ve inspired me to get the brush and paints out again and try a landscape!!

[@kimlanoue2033]

Love that you shared all your personal collection. I’m on my butt with a broken foot. More painting for me! Love all your paintings.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Hope you heal up soon!

[@leahvaught6001]

the rat, i need that painting of the rat, it is my favorite thing in the world

[@martingimenez339]

Thanks for the visit it was awesome. The painting with Emma and the car is flawless. Incredible how you managed to paint her features so accurate with her being your daughter because usually painting family is a struggle.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Martin. That painting came together pretty quickly and I'm convinced I just got lucky with her features. I realized how lucky I had gotten when I tried to reproduce the painting. I worked on her face for days on the reproduction and couldn't get it to look the same. And I had both paintings next to each other! I just couldn't reproduce her face as it appears in the original. I even used calipers! Couldn't do it. The new painting looked like Emma, but there was something missing.

[@martingimenez339]

chamberlainpaintings I understand, faces are very difficult and painting them twice is even worse. Not so long ago I had a commission and the guy wanted me to make the portrait of him, his daughter and his son on the same canvas and since they were stranded he handled me some bad pictures...it was HELL! I said yes because usually I say yes to everything challenging in life but this one was a pain in the ass. I had to make a bigger print of each picture, transfer them to the canvas, separate the nuances by marking them with a pencil as if it were a painting by numbers, then loose the strokes to hava a painting with feeling and finally it came out good but it took me a week of sweat. I admire those portrait painters who can make a beautiful portrait within a couple of hours without even thinking. Im not much into portraits and faces in paintings but I know it's necessary to know the craft.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

@@martingimenez339 I've had a few experiences like the one you describe. Never again! 😂

[@jimreid9674]

Some really great paintings there. Really love the Emma in ugg boots one. Love the ducks one too. Thanks for sharing.

[@vianey5963]

Eeeeeek i love that little mousey 🥺💗

[@laylahgasca5215]

how is there no detail and so much detail at the same time in some of these. i adore

[@LeeAnnM]

Very very nice! I still count the pacific grove cypresses over the bed as one of my favs. You really have talent with portraits (people & pets) I’d love to see you develop that side even more!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! Painting portraits really takes a lot out of me. 😂 But I really do love painting them. I hope to do more in the future.

[@europeanroyalty4778]

Enjoyed that! Thought the painting of emma with the sunglasses was fantastic. You always seem to capture atmospheric perspective with so little. Not judging but iPhones at 10/11, christ what a world we live in Michael. I don't and won't have kid's,not sure I could deal with being a modern parent. Even the thought of social media gives me the shivers, and I'm only 36.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I know what you mean regarding the phone. I guess we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. She actually researched the whole thing and used her own money. 😂

[@Hooreeg]

Crazy seeing the central coast painting and remember those spots from family trips growing up!! Love it :D

[@marianav9144]

I see why they wanted to buy the one of baby-you with the ducks! I love it. My top five: the one I just mentioned, the one with the lone house in the pink cloud sunset, big one of emma on the boat, the one that is overpainted with the white house (probably my fave) and emma in sf!

[@seapossumsforrest8162]

What a treat! Love the tour, and all the paintings! Thank you for posting.

[@fjdocucj3557]

Your videos are really inspiring because I love you style. Hopefully I will try to make some paintings like these on quarentine

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Yes, this is a great time to be creative 😊

[@Blissbb]

me toooooo

[@alvinray9080]

Great tips in this one! Nice big paintings too! Thanks!!!

[@michaelwood5519]

Thanks for sharing your collection Mike. All of them look great, and it's interesting to see how consistent they are as far as style or your method. I've been enjoying your videos for several days now, you're really a great person and artist!

[@sageanderson8148]

Wow! I love those paintings. Tell Emma that I love her videos and her and I also love your paintings.

[@annlgs7303]

Michael - I love your work, both your paintings and videos. I am making my way through your video library, and learning a lot. Do you have advice on painting city scapes and buildings? Unlike nature scenes, I find getting the many intersecting angles found in buildings reduces me to penciling in lines to then paint within. This feels like the tightest of tight painting, and like I've created my own paint by numbers. Thank you!

[@tressan8810]

Really want to paint some landscapes now

[@deborahrech7429]

You are an amazing artist!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

☺️🙏

[@maggie2244]

I love your ability to do great portraiture too! I really admire your great talent, there’s a freshness, an optimism, such great execution of light and color.. well your colors are beautiful.

[@tildavanwell6603]

Love your style so much! The portraits en figures are amazing.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Tilda! 😊

[@annaregan8781]

your painting style is so cool !

[@joywhitley3141]

I knew we were kindred spirits; I'm from New Jersey. 😊

[@MyVintageLife]

Montgomery Street, Emma squinting, and the house on the rocky cliff. ♥️♥️♥️You should name your paintings. This video goes with Emma's most recent upload!🤗🤩

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Glad you like! I do name all of my paintings. I put the title and the date painted on the back. I'm going to watch her latest right now!

[@zowiehood2679]

I love how you use light in your paintings they don’t need much detail but if you get the light right you can visualize the details. It’s really cool!

[@marcolee.]

u are sooo sososo talented!!! now i really want to paint haha

[@MsKatherineJo]

Thank you for the showing. So much talent!

[@MoniqueBourgeois]

Love your paintings and the tour...Thank you.

[@eyeofventure]

Could you explain a little bit about the main things about plein air painting?

[@mathisbadre]

i absolutely love it ! it reminds me of Edward Hopper’s work, you are so talented !

[@ivygenosko9411]

Binge watching your videos in the background rn, while i try to finish my "creative response" art piece thats due tmrw 😭love your vids and calming & creative energy 💚💚💚

[@lauramartins6967]

WOW😍 Your paintings are amazing

[@rebeccagreco1861]

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks! 😊

[@viktoriazaikina295]

such an amazing collection!! your work always inspires me😍

[@user-mf1rz9mn3l]

Your paintings remind me so much of the writer Raymund Carver!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

How interesting! 😊👍

[@PleinAirAdventureswithTezDower]

I love them all but the building paintings look awesome Mike 🎨🙏

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Tez!

[@linkakawamura2321]

Wow I’m speechless

[@timothyl.7611]

i love them all😭 if you ever decide to get rid of one let me know!!

[@dafne4131]

You are SO TALENTED

[@fernanda00790]

Un trabajo excelente, las pinturas realmente son mejores que las fotos, se siente la energía a través de ellas.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Gracias! 😊

[@ThatShowTK]

Super excited!

[@J904-v6j]

Love your work. Beautiful. Your landscapes remind me of Hopper (one of my favorite artists)

[@margaretford141]

Thanks for the show Nice to see Maine represented. I recognize the Port Clyde scenes

[@christinelewis5765]

I REALLY enjoyed your video today! I guess maybe it’s because I can relate to what you shared about your work. And I can totally understand why you want to hold on to those. It is funny to think of how artwork can become such a part of you. Thanks a lot for sharing 😉 always interesting!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Christine!

[@Blissbb]

The lighthouse. King

[@mogalcat3091]

I love your technique sooo much! Do you have a video where you show how you mix your paint? I can't get my paint to flow as smoothly as yours. I make half a stroke and all the paint's gone.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Do you use medium? I don’t think I have a video on the subject. Maybe I’ll make one!

[@mogalcat3091]

@@chamberlainpaintings Yes, I use Winsor & Newton medium. I don't know what's in it. Sometimes also just plain linseed oil.

[@1Thedairy]

I really enjoyed the tour and I honestly couldn’t say which painting I preferred because they are all wonderful. When you create a painting to sell that you are really pleased do you feel reluctant to sell it?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Sometimes I hold onto paintings that turn out really well. Especially if I feel I can learn from them by having them around. 😊

[@lynnhacheynordhagen8224]

Thanks for the great tour! Do you ever miss some work that has sold? I sometimes wish I could have a few paintings back:)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Lynn. I don't usually miss my sold paintings. I'm glad I have photos of them though. I'm happy they're out in the world somewhere. 😊

Great pictures.

You are amazing at what you do!👏

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks 😊

[@lisazhong6139]

what is your favourite canvas size to paint?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I don’t really have a favorite size. It depends on the subject. 8x8 up to 16x20 are what I use most. 😊

[@bryannsum]

hi! I don't know if you are going to see this, but I was wondering which medium you use the most? it looks like acrylic or maybe oil paints, but I want to do more work like this and am not sure what medium is best if I want to get a similar result. thank you!! i love your work by the way :)

[@chamberlainpaintings]

I only paint with oil paints 😊

[@pattyspoems580]

You are so talented. I am so enjoying your videos. So glad a video popped up on my phone. From Claremore, Oklahima.

MICHAEL. - getting to see some of your most cherished moments preserved memories that convey thoughts of forever multi - feelings , very special sharing in home, you and surroundings touch a feeling I had of “” Living art “” , , vocal sincerity added Life to the images, subsequent symphony spoke fluid , , moving emotions into and from these works of reality with art, seems I perceive strokes of love in the layers of color, don’t think I could ever call it “” work “” , ( that borders on insult ), I had to subscribe , thank you so very much ; )

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Mark!

[@markparkey1218]

chamberlainpaintings ( your welcome michael), , (hesitantly, I must tell you, additionally , there’s more in your paintings, to be seen , that I see, , , images, objects, animals, people, faces, multiple, singular, some on an open wall space, window sill, in the water, sky, trees, in the limbs , with or without leaves, windows, shadowed images in the windows, edge of a curtain gap. Only “ some “ paintings do I clearly see what may not be there, other people have criticized. However, red shack painting, there’s two dogs, a cat, also a human face, that’s just in the red shed wall area and the water, the mission painting, there’s a white owl above a doorway , sitting on the ledge, also a person with a red shirt, deeper, on a second story balcony. Your paintings, many many pictures, in the shadows, intentionally or not, the paint was on your brush in your hand, for me, , this is some of what I see, just the one sense, of Looking ! ) ) ). The light house with the bridge, the bridge leading to a house on the hill, and, the house on the hill, that’s a 3 piece set, or maybe only to me. Your paintings are incalculably unique in a rare , very rare way.

Your studio work is way more interesting than your plein air stuff IMO.

That may be, but my studio stuff wouldn't be what it is without the plein air stuff.

[@margaretsmilligan9393]

Great collection of work …my favourites , your brother with his red truck and the mouse painting! Really enjoyed this glimpse of your personal pieces , thank you

[@emilyle6944]

I've been watching Emma for some time, but I just came across your videos! I've always wanted to be an artist, but I'm a little scared though of being financially unstable. I also quit art class after middle school because I felt it took too much time, and I didn't really like the assignments we had to do. I also wanted to focus on academics for college etc. (I'm a senior in hs now) Recently though I've been painting for fun in my free time, and I remember how much I enjoy it! Mostly I've been painting my own cards for friends and family as gifts (also because I'm broke 😂). I really like the style of your art, especially after watching this video. I've never painted with anything besides acrylic paint, but you've inspired me to maybe branch out to oil paint in the future. Best of luck on your painting journey 😊 keep up the good work!

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Emily! I wish you all the best on your creative journey!

[@Lily-uv9uu]

Wow I just found out you’re Emma Chamberlain’s dad
