Love the suble color changes, Michael. The ocean is like a three-year-old who can't sit still for a portrait painting, yet you've managed to capture it beautifully. Thank you for showing us that it can be done.

As a painter myself, you have convinced me to one day live by the beach and do some plein air!

Love your beautiful colors and sharing the way you mix on the fly. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to be so free with a brush but watching you work, and with your running commentary, I think I can find a way to try! Thanks so much for this!!

Great camera work showing the comparing clearly, thanks

Such sensitive, gentle colors. The painting is calm, yet lively. I would never get tired of looking at this picture.

Great video. Beautiful painting!

Awesome and calm painting

Ah Michael,this is one of my favourites of yours!❤️🇨🇦

Good stuff Michael , Great to see you out there, looking forward to spring and some sunshine to get back out there too

Lovely color balance.👍

1:39 creativity in the palette , dried paint imagery , fascinating

This has been very helpful. Thank you

Yes!!! Love this video, great lesson 🙏😊

Painting waves One of his faves A limited palette and squeeze out wastes less Five colors and no particular white, I guess Uses complementing colors to gray Having fun the spontaneous way Sky reflections, energy direction Check out Pa-tre-on, make the connection 🌊 Love this. The colors are simply beautiful and they work so well together. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

Love this limited palette stuff!

Wish I had seen this video years ago!love the limited colors

Ooooo. That one turned out great! Thanks for letting us watch it’s creation!

A really great video! Thanks!!

This one turned out REALLY well!

Looks great. The limited palette is working well. Great video Michael as usual.

love these videos

I’m new to your site, and LOVE your style. Thank you for illustrating your loose style and incredible outcome!

i love this

Your work and insights are brilliant. Thanks for doing what you do and teaching so well. Very much appreciated.🙏

Great tutorial!!

Good morning Michael, 0:04 , ( freeze frame, getting ready, hmm remembering the hum of a large semi hermetic refrigerant compressor, as used in larger , walk-in coolers and, or walk-in freezers, this is a similar location that sparks the sound memory ( of your, a painting video, perhaps years before ) 🤔💭💭🧐 eager to see now 😁🙂

You make it look so easy. I need to try my hand at oils again. I’m one who paints with gouache and watercolor so oil seems so sticky to me. But I love oil paintings and the moodiness they give off.

The limited palette really works. This painting is so harmonious. Im so impressed not only by the painting but that you are wearing a white sweatshirt while painting😂

Great thank you

Excellent lesson Michael thanks. Painting with urgency allows for the image (that makes zero sense up close) to reveal itself when we step back. The viewer’s brain is an amazing thing, we’re wired to see known, familiar patterns. It’s nothing less than magical when we step back to the sweet spot and suddenly everything that seemed a mess flows together and becomes realistic and dynamic. I particularly enjoy in your painting the way the water is draining beck into the water from the sand as the wave is coming in. Thanks again. I’ve been quite undisciplined these last few months and this is just the inspirational kick in the pants I needed.

Oh I want this! So gorgeous!!💙💙💙

Wonderful paint 🎉❤

Love the subtle tones and colors. I especially like the sky on this one. Thanks for the tips!

Loving your greys and that’s what my seascape needs right now….

That is absolutely gorgeous!

That is soo beautiful

Your painting is very powerful and makes me feel that I'm right there, sharing the moment. Your graceful and melodic lines, asymmetries, contrasts of edges and temperature, colour harmony and composition balance are all spot on for your painting.

Great video! Love that painting! So good

I really like how this turned out!!!! Great work!!

Very nice painting for such a dull day, well done 🎨🖌️

Have really been enjoying the limited colour palette series Michael!! Too easy to think more colours means better paintings but you're showing us how exactly wrong that idea can be. Love your easy going, no nonsense narration and video style!! I live at a surfer's beach in Australia so all your paintings are very relevant to my local area too. TFS!!

Great painting! Impressive that you can talk and paint at the same time...lots of good thoughts on color mixing...thank you!

Michael, I have really enjoyed this beach video. You made this limited palette work so well. The lovely color changes and soft grays are perfect for this scene, along with the more saturated colors in the sky and waves. Thank you for sharing this painting adventure with us! It has been very educational, as well. This is the first time I have watched you paint, but not the last. I subscribed to your channel.

Great video Mike. The painting looks awesome!

You make it look so easy 👍🏽

Great result, Michael! Thank you for your insightful commentary.

Control....starts in how one talks to the painting....."reeling it in"

Absolutely love this one and the finished piece is so good , thank you again

Beautiful ❤

I love the way you explain what you’re doing & thinking throughout the video. I appreciate you mentioning the paint colors and brushes and medium used. I haven’t painted since high school and I would love to continue learning and practicing after years of abandoning it. Absolutely love your videos.

19:11 , umbrella - ed sunlight , horizon glow , tipped wave whitewater, sand held reflection, moving shadow of the seized waves 🙂

Very nice video and painting 🎨🖌️

Love the limited palette idea! Very economical. You're so right about painting from photos. It's just not satisfying. Need to come to CALI prob be 2024...

Amazing painting, sir! I'm sure that to paint something like this must be pretty challenging. You did it great! Btw. 6:44 "It's all about relativity!" Yeah! Einstein thought so too! Greetings from the EU!

19:03 , before the 1/2 second , 🙂 ( guesstimate)

Great tutorial!

warm fuzzies from all your vids :)

We love your art sir !I I definitely wanna learn some. 👌🔥🔥🔥

Love it. Subbed!

Interesting to find a paint and brush brand called Utrecht given that I live in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands. They do not sell here. 😉Nice video and painting 👍👍

EXCELENTE!!!...

Hi Mr. Chamberlain, can you share what camera and lens you use to film Emma’s travel vlogs? I love the image quality and would like to know. Thank you! ♥️ ✌🏽

Hi brilliant video. I know you said in the video what color mixes you used, but I would like to try and copy some particularly these two types of blue mixes. In the video at 10:30 minutes in and 14:00 minutes in the, there is a lighter different blue and another different one. What are they please? One kind of blue for the wave and another for the background sea. Thank you

Painting waves is my grief as it's the only time I go back to that extreme desire for uniform. I don't know how to break it. It's not a problem with other landscapes and portrait. I don't understand my mind why it reverts back

The minimalist brush 🖌️ strokes require restraint for me. Just as hard for me as avoiding blending. 🎨

Hi Michael if you love waves go look at work of a New Zealand artist Freeman white is work is great

stunning, what is the framing you'd used at the end? it looks great. I love to watch you paint you inspired me to paint plein air

Exellent
