Michael, it's great when you give details of your colour mixing, thank you!

Thank you for explaining your thought processes, especially when choosing colors and where to put them!

Im not gonna lie i discovered this channel through emma, but i love art and this channel is so calming and nice to watch, plus i learn so much and i love watching the way Mike paints and trying out different techniques, and ive definitely seen an improvement in my art:) looking forward to using some of your tips for my next school art project!

How to turn a dull scene into a beautiful painting. I've just learned a little bit more watching this video. Yesterday I've been talking with a woman from Toulouse who was plain air painting where I was hiking and I stayed for a while watching her struggle with light changes, people, wind and dust and It reminded me how hard it is to be out there.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Martin! Plein air is always a challenge. Glad you got something out of this video!

[@brandoncornwell52]

You use a good amount of those purplish tones, leaning red or leaning blue as an effective undertone or as a way to graduate those warm tones into the distance. I love the lively sea tones. Awesome

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks, Brandon!

[@michaelsherck5099]

[@matthewgyulay2961]

The ocean was kind to you today Michael, to give you all that drama. Love the mood in the painting. Nice view. I really like the idea of doing the same view different ways with different lighting. Much like Monet did with his haystacks and the Rouen Cathedral. Nice!

[@sharronboxenbaum7392]

Love this painting- so much energy that describes the day with your variety of brushstrokes. Can you explain the advantages of adding liquin?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Liquin allows you to thin the paint without compromising its strength. If you thin with odorless mineral spirits only, you break down the binder in the paint, which diminishes its ability to adhere to the panel. If you're using a somewhat absorbent canvas this isn't as much of a problem since the thinned paint soaks into the surface. Liquin also speeds up drying time. The painting is usually dry and ready for touch ups in 24 hours.

[@sharronboxenbaum7392]

[@jimjacobson2884]

One of the things that I really like about your paintings is the way you simplify the scene. Was this something that took a long time to develop or was it just a natural thing for you?

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks, Jim. It definitely took time to learn to simplify. Squinting at a scene to eliminate detail really helps.

[@lesleybthedapperkiwi]

The energy and beauty of nature plus sharing your great commentary and painting🙌🇳🇿👩🏼‍🎨

[@janis6363]

Amazing how fast your brushstrokes are. You can tell you know what you want to do with your vision of the scene. Turned out beautifully. I had one of those plastic folder carriers I bought with some art supplies. Thought it would come in handy. After all these years, I now know what it was. A wet panel case. Duh. Thanks

[@mikegurney9278]

I like your use of the tile effect in the rocks, you had in one shot an angled brush stokes in the sky with a lighter value I really thought that was clever as if a front was coming in, then it was gone obviously you didn't like it, though I still think it was clever. The composition was very well done something I struggle with. Very nice painting. I took note of the purple/violet dioxazine and yellow ocher that works well. Great stuff.

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Mike! It wasn't that I didn't like it, I wanted to darken the sky to make the whitewater stand out. Sometimes you have to sacrifice something that's working for the greater good of the painting 😂

[@helenagalle2582]

[@zaidshah4535]

Very cool painting. Personally, I think that you could’ve pushed the atmospheric perspective a little more on the rocks. If you look at all the paintings you do there’s a very noticeable consistency and it’s a good thing except that I think you might benefit from limiting yourself to a primary colors palette every once in a while and work mainly on the value message of the painting, basically experimenting more. With that said, your compositions are getting better better! I’d love to paint plen air with you some day if I’m visiting the states.

[@xaydee3631]

Great painting! May I know why you hold the paintbrush like this? I’m new to painting and landscape painting

Thanks! Holding the brush this way just happened naturally. It feels right to me and allows me to stand back from the painting while making a brushstroke.

Hey Mike...really like your subtle color changes especially with Grey's...did you add the mixed sky color to some of the wave color patterns?... Anyway big storms brewing ...n'easter coming here Wednesday..."batten down the hatches"...

[@chamberlainpaintings]

Thanks Nancy! I mixed the color for the water next to the sky color in order to get the value correct but I didn't add any sky color to the mix. I later added sky color to the surface of the water and the wet rocks. Big storms brewing out here too! Actually in the middle of one now. 25 knot winds at the ocean. I'm sure your winds will be stronger. Batten down the hatches indeed!

I throw the palette cup with Liquin into a plastic bag and use it next time I paint. It doesn't usually get dirty. Paper towels get thrown in a plastic bag and brought home. I store them in a metal garbage can until I have enough to bring to the toxic waste disposal site.
