    I love how there isn’t excessive detail in your paintings, it reminds me of what an old memory looks like - just enough detail but over time it generalises into something beautiful like one of your paintings.

    Boy that certainly was a challenging one. Your thoughts and transparency in your process is very helpful. How?

Just keep on painting and keep on painting. Thanks Michael, that was a good one.

    You looked a little nervous and under pressure and the result is a bit less than your usual plein-air. Yes that car saved the painting. And even though i really like to see you out there struggling at any situation. Well done my artist friend. You means much to lots of artists that watching you mostly doing Plein air and teaching them some lessons.

The reflections through an air shadow , between the buildings and up the street, subtle reflection from the cars through shade.

    Have you ever thought of pre-painting the architecture/road shapes before going on site so you can spend more time on your color and light? Essentially just the initial tone and line drawing ahead of time. Might take some of the looseness away but it’d be a fun experiment?
    AND I just saw a guy who has a book out on limited palette; he painted exactly the same little painting 46 times only changing the 3 color palette used; the differences were amazing.

    • @chamberlainpaintings
      @chamberlainpaintings  2 роки тому +3

      I tried pre-sketching when I first started painting cityscapes on location but I didn't like the results. I don't expect to go out and have a successful painting every time. I want to be challenged. It's the best way to grow. That book sounds interesting!

  • @DannySabraArt
    @DannySabraArt 2 роки тому +2

    Totally agree about cityscapes being much more difficult because of the intense drawing required. i've been toying with the idea of either just doing straight drawings of city scenes to get better of that in the field, or also painting in black and white and just focusing on drawing and tone with plein air. A focussed practice like that isn't as alluring to me as using a full palette but every time i do a cityscape I always feel the difficulty of the drawing and as you said so many colors to figure out. I really liked your point about finding a spot in the painting that worked. I RARELY feel like an entire painting is totally good. usually there are spots that work and spots that dont. I think for us students of art, the more we identify and learn from those the better we become. Great video as always!

    • @chamberlainpaintings

    Lovely video. AGAIN. Thumbs up here! Thanks for critiqueing your own work and mentioning what does and doesn't work. Very educational. Also that we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves, especially with such a complicated scene.
    You mention how you want to frame your work at the start of the vid but I don't really hear you voicing your focus of the painting. Which has me wondering: do you have the intent to focus on something specific when you start off or is it more an overall feel for the composition, possibly with a few details that you want in there?

    • @chamberlainpaintings

    The painting looks really good so far! Always super interesting to hear your reasoning behind color choices and color mixing. One thing bugs me about the composition though: the straight line of cars in the middle, it feels as if the middle ground splits the scene in two halves. Or is that just me? :)

Is there any rhyme or reason to using this color, or will any color work equally as well?
