I am a fan of thick paint and big brush strokes brings the painting alive.
I agree!
I know you said it didn't need to be a good painting... but you made one anyway. 😉. And as I said before, your work looks so much better in person- I'm certain this one will too, especially with shadows and highlights created by the lighting on the brushstrokes.
I've often thought when watching your videos that I'd like to see you just dig into piles of paint and give your paintings some nice thick impasto. I really love the depth and dimension thick paint gives to paintings. It doesn't have to be the whole thing, as you said. Sometimes the background can be almost completely smooth, with the focal point or foreground with lots of texture.
I am very much looking forward to seeing more of these from you. Your works already have so much energy and action, I anticipate them only being enhanced by you exploring this.
The Paint has got to be THICK!...I love it😄. I like how You let the Waves roll in diagonal to the Rocks...draws the Eye in👍
Thanks Mike!
Great idea about considering your paintings as studies. It’s a good attitude and one that I need to take in the field more often ..
I’m always thinking about getting this painting to stage where I can sell it and then get very frustrated at the end of a session. .
This has to be one of my favs of yours! LOVE the composition!!
That was so much fun to watch you both mix up gobs of paint and turn it all into beautiful, tactile seascapes.
Thanks Maura!
What a great day! Love the saturation in the rocks and water of your painting - as well as the loose and organic texture. I appreciate how you clearly verbalize each decision and move. I’ve come to realize that it’s not just for our benefit, but a steady internal dialogue helps guide the whole process! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks Tad! Yes, another fun day. True, there's always an internal conversation going on. Talking to yourself is good! 😂
I agree, I always have an internal dialog, so it’s nice to know I’m not alone. But more importantly, Michael’s descriptions as he paints gave me the courage and knowledge to start plein air painting just over a year ago. The set up, painting techniques, and sometimes fixing mistakes are great teaching tools.
I like the look of the thicker paint in your painting- nice!
Thanks Elisabeth!
Love the loose big brush marks and the energy it creates in the water.
Love the thicker paint!!!
Loved your composition right away!!! 👍👍👍
Been a subscriber for a min now! Happy to see you’re still alive and well!
Thicker paint is luscious and the texture adds so much to the feel of active movement of the water.👍
I welcome this experiment for its textured, dimensional and impressionistic look. Frankly, MC, that painting has more dynamic energy than your usual works.
And I hope you go headlong into painting with thick paint (and fast).
Onward!
This was a great video! I am intrigued by the thick paint. I like how each stroke interacts with what’s already on the canvas, sometimes covering, sometimes blending. It is very appealing and I want to try.
It’s great to go out and paint with other artists. Watching these videos and your interaction with your friends helps me not to cringe if a painting buddy offers suggestions at a paint out. It goes against all my instincts because I like to be good at arts and crafts and a lot of people I know aren’t artists and just think everything is amazing 😂 But I know to grow as an artist and person I need to be willing to try things I’m not good at, be willing to experiment and fail sometimes, and learn from other artists.
You gave me the guts to join local plein air groups and also, once I’m there, to walk around and look at other peoples work, and be willing to let other people see mine, and hear their comments and suggestions.
Thanks Lynnae!
Just beautiful❤ always wanted to do this on Lake Michigan with the light house
Thicker paint and no small brush problems
We see Tad’s white tennies; Michael-probably not Doc Martens
We came for the thick paint but composition is king
Not worried about any weather balloons from Beijing
Brush reloaded frequently but not frosting a cake
More color and added texture, no mistake
Committed to breaking old habits

I think you and Tad have a different definition of “a lot of paint”. He’s got you beat. 😂 Love the sky reflections in Tad’s and you remain our “wet sand” king.
Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Tad isn't afraid to squeeze out the paint and then use it! Thanks Suz! 🙏✌😊💛
White tennies! 😂
@@tbone805 bro. 😂 thanks for laughing. That makes me happy.
A beautiful day on the rocky coast!
I can imagine it's hard to paint thick, especially with how conservative we can be with our art supplies, and then you must have to be more careful about application in order to preserve space for your highlights.
Beautiful painting and colors and I really love the texture of the waves and rocks!
Thank you!
That turned out very nicely...I liked the sky reflections on both paintings!
Really beautiful! I like all of your work, but really enjoying the thicker paint!
Wow! That heavy paint application worked so well with the rocks and “white” water! You really got the planes changes on the rocks reading so well-definitely not over worked. Great work and great lesson. thanks!
Thanks Sherrie!
Love the result! Going to try using more paint. I don’t see you using a pallet knife, just mixing everything with the brushes? Love Tad’s painting too. Great work guys. 👍🏼
Yes, mixing with my brush 🤙
I love these videos but does anyone else miss the surfing vlogs 🥲🥲🥲
Really nice video and painting! I would like to see you take a small, "thinly" painted canvas and redo it with the thick painted method. I'm curious how different it might look by comparing it side by side. I realize you are busy but just a thought.
Thanks Linda!
Excellent outcome. Very fluid, and the colors kick ass.
Thanks Dennis!
One of my favorite paintings you’ve completed on a recent video. The composition, waves and white water on shore all come together perfectly. Looking forward to more ‘thick paint’ paintings.
Exploratory painting is fun 🖌️🎨
Some great colour combinations.Palette knife is also great to experiment with impasto. Can get marks and textures that a brush cannot.
I agree about the thin paintings - I saw the original acrylic painting of a Bison by Robert Bateman and thought that if it had been painted that well in thick oil paint it would have come down off the wall and chased us through the corridors 😂
Yes! Vitality through thicker paint!
I love the thick paint and the nice colors throughout the whole painting. Gorgeous painting!!!
Thanks Sophie!!
Came out amazing as usual, Michael! I personally like the thicker paint but all your paintings are so good no matter how much or how little paint is on the canvas.
Thanks Kay!
Wonderful work as usual 🎉✨✨
I love how this turned out. I’m always amazed how you start over a used canvas. Such concentration!
This came out really nice.
Thanks Barbara!
Great result! Like the combination of thicker and thinner paint. For the past several years I've thought of myself as a student, doing studies, because every painting teaches me something. Also helps me manage expectations and not be overly self-critical !
Thanks Cheryl!
beautiful piece, your style goes really well with thicker paint
Thanks!
Love, love this!Loved watching it develop.
Fabulous! Love your style😃👍
Oh Man, I thought you took on a whole ball of wax on this painting, over and old work, thick paint, etc. But, I must say you pulled off the challenge and I liked the result. I’m a thin painter, so my thicker areas are the highlights. Thanks for continuing to share your process and thoughts. Cheers-Greg
Very fresh, beautiful!
Thanks Jose!
always love your videos!
Thanks so much for the video. Great to see how the thicker paint works out. Also love the green in the water. Reminds me of Ocean Beach in SF.
I love your videos 💖💖💖💖
Love that thicker paint idea, Michael you're just going to have to raise your prices on your paintings to cover the cost of all that paint! Nice job on this seascape !
Thanks Joel! Haha, yes!
i love that you re used an old painting!! such gorgeous colors and such a beautiful location!!
Thanks a lot for these tips!!!
Fantastic job, guys! Really beautiful paintings! Even some stranger liked it! lol ... A study or not, I think this painting turned out really great! I love the way how you painted the waves and rocks. The effect is amazing! Greetings from the EU!
Thanks Olda!
@@chamberlainpaintings Have a good one!
Interesting paintings today. I particularly liked your white water which appears almost by accident (one of those happy accidents maybe). By applying thickly, its not evenly applied so you instantly get a crest to the wave as well. i wondered whether you could get some spray to top the waves around the rocks (or is that too much detail). Using thick white paint and moulding it (sculpture ?) helps to describe the power of the wave. The next set of paintings where you use thick paint will be interesting. Will you use a palette knife? Impasto? Thought provoking as ever. Well done - ditch the scarf though - doesn't fit the beach surfing dude look.
My approach to whitewater is to apply the paint spontaneously and look for bits of magic. The trick is to recognize the good stuff before painting over it. As for spray, too much detail for my taste. As for palette knife, I don't think so. I prefer the look of brushstrokes.
Gorgeous
Fabulous video. Love the use of thicker paint. It definitely reminded me that I should experiment more and use more paint!
Thanks Julie!
It's good to see your daughter got the Lancome gig it will catapult her into new and exciting things.
Nice one Michael 👍
Thanks Andrew!
Love your channel. Great tip on thicker paint adding a better value & more texture. Your painting is really evolving nicely!
Thanks!
I don't know if it's just me, but i can't even look at thin paintings, no matter how well done. Give me some impasto and i'll look for more to like.
For me, it depends on the artist. Often thin paint shows lack of confidence and lack of commitment. However, there are painters who have used thin paint in bold and effective ways. Diebenkorn and Sorolla are a few obvious examples. Thick or thin, give me vitality! 😂👍
@@chamberlainpaintings Coming from you, sir, i will take those recommendations 😊
@@davidgough3512 Haha, thanks David. Look up Seawall by Richard Diebenkorn. It's a very abstracted landscape but I love all the contrasts in the painting. Thick and thin; busy and calm.
Nicely done, sir. 👍👍
Me encanta! 🌊💛 los domingos se vuelven mejores con tu arte
Gracias Paula! 😊💛
Beautiful!!
Good job!!clean spot to dry,and time,you'll have a jewel.
Thanks Joann 😊
love his life
Your paintings are always great. For thick paint, check out Turner Vinson
I luv that
Thank you
I am doing seven paintings in seven days to break a barrier i might just keep going and do one every day for rest of yr
Good for you. Keep going!
Beautiful painting! I Wish I cud paint that good and that quick! I thought your paint looked really soft and creamy before u even added liquin.! Id love to know what brand of paint that was.... as the paint Im using is annoyingly a lot stiffer
Yeah texture! 😄
Good Morning Michael 😎
Good morning Mark 😊
@@chamberlainpaintings thicc success michael 😌
@@markparkey1218 Thanks Mark!

I was thinking you were going to do more impasto but that's another way of painting altogether ... Are you familiar with Turner Vinson , he's a great painter from Montana ...
Maybe I'll make an impasto video :) Yes, I've seen his videos here on UA-cam
( palettes party alert 8:22 )
Great video and painting! I love your mental mindset of it being a study. I think painting over an existing painting helps, too. Did you just use the 1 brush for this painting?
Thanks Judy! Yes, I only used one brush.
@@chamberlainpaintings the brush cleaning holds me back from painting thick (if I’ve brought 10 brushes I’ll use 10 brushes!), plus fear of wasting paint, but you’ve inspired me to jump right in and give this a try. Thank you so much for making and sharing these wonderful videos with us!
@@judymiller8883 Using a single brush forces you to be creative in getting the effects you're after. It also keeps you out of trouble when it comes to detail. I can't tell you how many times I've switched to a smaller brush and killed the painting.
@@chamberlainpaintings sounds like just what I need, thank you!
Great painting. What type of brush are you using (synthetic or bristle)? What brand? Thanks in advance.
u guys seem to like panels A LOT in the States. almost every artist i see on yt from there paint on panels. why is that u prefer them more or they are more accesible?
Easier to store. Less expensive. No backlighting issues when painting en plein air. Can be carried in a wet panel carrier.
What is "liqum"? phonetic, to slow drying?
Is that dark burnt umber and ultramarine blue
The dark mixture was Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna, and Alizarin Crimson
