The way you simply attack your canvas is inspiring. No tip-toeing around, just get in there with a big fat brush, lots of paint and see what happens. Great painting, great video.
Thanks! Yes, you gotta go for it. The worst thing that'll happen is you'll do a bad painting. I think fear of letting go holds a lot of artists back from reaching their full potential. Myself included! I'm always trying to push myself to take more chances.
@@chamberlainpaintings That's the truth. I recently realised that I was afraid of making a bad painting, so couldn't let go. Since I stopped caring whether anyone would see the finished product or not, I have loosened up loads. All part of the journey :)
@@chamberlainpaintings Oops! I didn't think you'd read it. I was practicing "artspeak". My daughter tells me that I'm not ambiguous enough but it's difficult to be spontaneous with a book of antonyms and synonyms in your hand. It is a very nice e painting and I do like the size and aspect ratio. In fact, it looks rather grand!

So full of power and energy. I forgot that you hold the camera while painting. I thought you zoomed in on the video. Seeing you standing in front of it in the studio makes an impact. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
There is nothing embarrassing about how you do a painting. It is the end product that everyone observes and what they like about it. They really don’t persecute about the thought of whether a ruler was used or not. Its a tool. Like a brush😊
@@ronschlorff7089 Well there are purists out there which I feel is only relevant for specified judging purposes. In which case it is judged on specified rules. And that is ok too😊
@@ronschlorff7089 ok sorry. I do a lot of watercolours and purists dont allow white gouache for example for highlighting so it restricts spontaneous loose painting methods. Anyway the ‘rules’ whatever they may be may be where the fellows comment came from🤷♀️😅
I totally agree about the power of the larger painting. It comes across even in the video so I know in real life it has an impact. I think it helps “tell the story” … the immensity of the ocean…the feeling of being surrounded by the environment…. Makes me want to hop on a plane to be able to be in the room with it! Definitely keep at the large format when you can.
Thanks Kathy! I agree. One of the dominant features of the natural world is the grandeur and scale of the vistas. A larger painting does a better job communicating the immensity.
I absolutely love that you leave the sounds of the waves in your videos, I so miss that sound in person. I enjoy your work and appreciate the advice you share.
What a beautiful painting loved watching your process I hope now I have the courage to do a large ocean scene this coming summer thank you so much for filming that for us fabulous job I learned so much
Your seascape wave of sea water looks great i like the way your brushstroke . Great artist and happy to share this to everyone that is the real artist thank you.
Nice video today, both informative and soothing. However, once you said ‘magic moments’ I had Perry Como’s oldie bouncing through my head the rest of the video. The whistling little sing song interludes go great with a day at the beach. 😂🌞
This is great! I really enjoyed seeing you paint this big. Perfect for the waves, and a lot of brush swinging. Watching you paint will probably get me move to bigger sizes 😆
Hey Michael.. you’ve been such an inspiration to me! You’re a fantastic teacher! Thank you for being so open. I’m from South Africa, but in Portugal for a few months. I’ve finally started to do some plein air painting and today I’m going to attempt a 12x24 in this fashion. Let’s see how it goes.
So glad I came across you today. Thank you for sharing your process. I don't live near the sea but I will try to get to a beach soon. I will enjoy watching your next videos.
Heck yes!!! I’m so stoked you went big and it worked out! Didn’t need to use a 3” brush and you made it seem like space management on your pallet wasn’t too big a deal. Brilliant!
FINALLY!!! Wow that was a long time coming…I knew if you ever went up to a larger size it would life changing! the color on this one is so pleasing; you captured the feel of an overcast day but those pastel colors in the waves and sand are magnificent!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE I would love to have this one because it’s going to represent a turning point for you. I’m so happy for you!! Perhaps try a stretched canvas on a huge scale and see if you prefer it. I know it would be easier to transport; but I don’t really like the spring or absorption quality of canvas in general.
Thanks! Yes it took a while! This painting will be available in my upcoming show at Studio Gallery. I plan to do another this size for the show as well. As for canvas vs. panel, both have their advantages and disadvantages. The panel cost me about $7 to make, much cheaper than a canvas that size. Also, you don't have to worry about the painting being backlit when painting on a panel, which often happens with canvas.
@@chamberlainpaintings I keep forgetting about the backlight. I’m very excited for you; I know someone will snap up the large ones immediately! I see larger brushes right around the corner. 😃
I just moved to Pt Pete Fl. Your videos have truly inspired me to get out, head to the beach and paint loosely! Which is so not me and may explain a lot.😆
WOW. I thought you might be heading this way. Its fantastic. You mentioned you want to do more of this size and hang them in your house - i hope its big enough. Seriously, by doing larger paintings do you need to stand a greater distance to appreciate them? Its a fabulous painting as its captured the strength of the sea. You have done it on a challenging day when you don't have much in the way of shadows to help you. Really good stuff.
Thanks Paul! Yes, you do need to hang a painting of this scale in the right location. Being able to view from a distance is critical. It may be too large for my house.
@chamberlainpaintings. Michael, this is gorgeous and super inspiring. I was just in the Ventura area visiting family and doing a little plein air painting with a friend from Michigan. On those misty mornings instead of being disappointed with the lack of definition in our subjects, we decided to try wave paintings thanks to your demonstrations. I loved being at the ocean early ! I need lots more practice and cannot wait to try again. Thank you so much.
Thanks Elizabeth! My first wave panoramas were motivated by desperation. We have so much fog in NorCal in the spring and summer. Glad to have inspired you!
Hello Michael Long time no speak , busy painting and the weathers been too good (even in Scotland !! Loved this piece, great work. Your comment about never being able to do a piece like this in the studio is so true ! I saw that Constables 'rough study' sky sketches have recently sold for Zillions ! Hope all is well, Best wishes A.
Bravo Michael. Your videos are so informative and inspirational. I started watching your videos in 2020 and I am so grateful for them! Thank you from a Patron.
Beautiful painting! I think there is always more power and energy in Plein air painting versus studio painting. I think the reason you noticed it more in the larger painting, is because you were pushed for time getting the canvas covered. The energy and total concentration required to capture the mood, moment, and light are intense, and I believe that intense energy comes through painting from life in a set time frame. I remember my first time painting en Plein air. I was worried about being able to capture what I was seeing, and not looking like a failure in front of the group I was with. Although I'm positive I made mistakes, I finished, and I loved the spontaneous energy of the painting. As a bonus of regularly painting en Plein air, it allowed me to painting faster with less mistakes, and looser in studio.
This looked like so much fun! The colors you tease out of the environment is so inspiring. I look at your painting then back at the scene and then I see the subtle seeds for where you take it.
The finished painting has got me right there. Michael I will say your start to this had me wondering why such a hurry. But as usual you have done it justice. We so appreciate your explanation of what and why your doing certain things. 🌴Plant City, Florida 🌴
I really like how the wave in foreground kind of splays out ... It definitely shows how directional brush strokes come into play ... The whole painting is moving due to that spontaneity ... So good!!! Weather here is hot just call it "baked cod" very dry no rain feels like so.cal ... At least the mosquitos aren't around so can get in some plein air
very nice painting, I would like to see this on a 30x48 panel , i would like to see more sky in this painting, that is my preference , thats what I tend to do , great painting ! well done !
fabulous! so loose and full of energy. I need to get out to the ocean this year and try to paint as loosly as you. Love your videos, thank you from an english fan.
Hi Micheal….Loving the size of the painting as well as the pallet at one point the view of the top of the painting and the sky look nearly identical! I also think it was very smart of you to put down the handheld camera because we can still see your paint anyway, so you could actually be more focused on the work. Don’t take it the wrong way, but painting and holding the camera painting seems like Jimi Hendrix playing guitar behind his head. Jimmy might’ve done that for a minute or two but not the whole song. I really like the way the painting looked at 12 minutes and 18 seconds into the video. I also liked it at the end when you were talking about shapes and patterns and I was wondering if some of the idea of shapes and patterns could bring some areas in that same kind of idea/way into more clear focus in certain places/area, for example some spray off the top of the wave or a shadow in the foreground under a wave a bit darker, etc. Keep up the great work! Cheers-Greg
Thanks Greg! Holding the camera allows me to explain in real-time what I'm thinking and what I'm doing. When the camera is on the tripod you can barely hear my voice. It also gives the view you'd have if you were actually painting the painting. As if the brush is in the viewers hand. It's more difficult for me but I'm getting used to it. As for bringing more focus to certain areas, I'll do minor tightening up later if I feel it needs it. I approach these touch ups with extreme caution. There's nothing worse than ruining a good painting by overworking.
Beautiful painting! Great to see your process and hear your thoughts about painting from direct observation. I plan to check out your work at the Studio Gallery. Thanks for the helpful video! I learned a lot.
Earlier you said your gallery works will be more Plein Air. This large size will double your income. If with big brushes you can do it the same time. Same effort. They are more dynamic and epic works.
I love how your paintings are evolving. When I first viewed the channel you were painting 9x12 panels mostly. Now with the big brushes and liberal use of paint it presents as much bolder and free. Fine nuanced color and values. Well done Sir!
Fantastic video, sir! Really beautiful painting! And big one! lol Amazing. I also like this location. Btw. It's shocking how cold weather you have there, because, you know, here in Europe, we have a heat wave! Around 104 degrees Fahrenheit! (=40+ Celsius). lol ... Have a wonderful day!
@@chamberlainpaintings LOL ... Ice Age is cool in the movies! lol ... I think saber-toothed squirrel Scrat was funny. But I personally don't like winter and cold weather at all. I also love warm weather! Have a good one!
You're the only artist that i know looks over their painting arm...it works for you and thats great but every teacher I've been to yells at me for doing that especially if sight sizing...great painting
Don't get me started on sight sizing lol. As for looking over my arm, there are some things you get used to when plein air painting. Having direct light on your palette is one, looking over your arm is another. Both are challenging at first but are not a problem with practice. I try to orient the easel to avoid direct light on my canvas/panel. Sometimes that means I have to look over my arm. I have a friend Nick Coley, a professional painter, who paints with direct sunlight on his canvas! It doesn't bother him at all. I've only done that a few times. It didn't negatively effect the results but I did find it challenging. Looking over my arm is way easier.
transparent yellow oxide part, damn, it was very questionable lmao, my lame joke but I found that funny. Good work, I like how you explain the right things and dont blabber too much about stuff everyone can find out themselves.
Great video and the painting is spot on……I can feel the energy of the Pacific. I am left wondering why you chose not to add in the exposed rocks in this painting. Not a critique, just an observation and hope you can elaborate. Thanks in advance. 🙏
My Patreon videos cover various topics but I don't do demos. You don't get charged until the first of the month so you can sign up and watch a few videos to see if you find it helpful. If not, cancel by the end of the month and you won't be charged. The main goal for my Patreon is to generate some sort of income to allow me to keep making these videos. I share as much as possible for free on UA-cam. Patreon is my tip jar! 😂👍
Thanks James! I don't think I'll varnish this one. It's got a nice uniform shine to it because of the Liquin. If I was going to varnish I'd wait until it was dry to the touch and then use Gamvar.
Bringing the camera when you step back, looking at the painting from that distance, is cool to watch !
Thank you for making plein air painting easier by sharing all the things most people learn the hard way.

@@medusayuk5854 Good for you! So true
I appreciate the camera on its tripod because I see the overall process.
The panoramic aspect of 2:1 in a larger size really imbues the painting with a majestic personality which is very persuasive. Very nice painting!
Thanks Michael! I agree. 2:1 is my favorite ratio for painting waves.
@@chamberlainpaintings Oops! I didn't think you'd read it. I was practicing "artspeak".

Something so peaceful about the sound of waves 😊
I agree, taking a picture would become a tedious study. I like the radial pattern in the foreground, really makes it pop.
Fantastic painting.
Thanks Don! Yes painting from a photo would be torture and result in a lifeless painting. How's that for plein air attitude? 😂
What a beautiful painting loved watching your process I hope now I have the courage to do a large ocean scene this coming summer thank you so much for filming that for us fabulous job I learned so much
Very nice....like it all!...especially the sand and close up waves!
Thanks Kerry!
Looks awesome Michael. Seems like you have more freedom and space with the larger panel. It definitely has a presence that smaller works don’t.
Thanks Andrew. Yes, the smaller panels can often feel restrictive. Nothing like having room to swing the brush!
Yeaaaaah: agreed
The loose confident strokes look great.
Thanks!
Love the large size painting!! 🤩🤩🤩 I'd love to see more of these large ones done!
This one’s truly a jaw dropper!! Just outstanding
Thanks Sharron!

Super 👍🏻 !!
It's really huge I didn't think it was that big
That's one big beautiful work of art Mike. Love big formats. Is that a wooden panel over the wooden chassis?
Great video and the painting is spot on……I can feel the energy of the Pacific.
I am left wondering why you chose not to add in the exposed rocks in this painting. Not a critique, just an observation and hope you can elaborate.
Thanks in advance. 🙏
This is fabulous! What is the specific location of this painting? The large size definitely has a powerful impact! Bravo.
Thanks Mel! The location is Pescadero State Beach
great !
Thanks!
Thanks for this inspiring and beautiful video! In your patreon do you explain in more details the color mixing of this painting (and the others)?
My Patreon videos cover various topics but I don't do demos. You don't get charged until the first of the month so you can sign up and watch a few videos to see if you find it helpful. If not, cancel by the end of the month and you won't be charged. The main goal for my Patreon is to generate some sort of income to allow me to keep making these videos. I share as much as possible for free on UA-cam. Patreon is my tip jar! 😂👍
Great painting. I need to learn to use larger panels and move faster. Love the fluid application of the paint. How long do you wait to varnish it?
Thanks James! I don't think I'll varnish this one. It's got a nice uniform shine to it because of the Liquin. If I was going to varnish I'd wait until it was dry to the touch and then use Gamvar.
Very nice 👍
