Even after watching you for about 2 years now, I am still amazed at what you can produce in such a short amount of time. Great painting! Thanks again for your inspiration.

You are so adventurous…adding large people in your painting! Wow! A wonderful painting! Maybe I could try adding people to my watercolor landscapes…🤔

Got a nice mood. The patches of Red and Turquoise were a good choice👍

Visual poetry!

That turquoise and red truly elevated it! Lovely work as always.

Nice painting, Michael! Your words are always as appreciated as your brushstrokes.

8 :38 - love your palette mixes

Love the simplicity, colours, and brush work. 😊

Very nice, figures add interest to the scene now and then, thankyou.

Love this Michael. Such confidence!!!

great painting!! love the final result so much!

I spend hours on the beach. I am in awe of how well you’ve created a partly sunny fall day. What an amazing composition. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Really like this one! The composition and the red and the edge of your figure work really well. I was glad you brought the white water in on the left, works great.❤️

Thats a great catch

Beautiful painting, it transmits a lot, the fisherman calm in contrast with the movement of the water where he stands...very poetic. That's what a painting has to do...communicate.

Amazing composition and a great painting ! Thank you for sharing

Was recently looking at joacquin sorollas figure paintings of people at the beach . Interesting to see you add this to your oeuvre Michael.

Homer would be proud. This is a damn good painting. You had me at block-in.

Very impressed with your person - really appreciate your style and looseness. Brave! Susan in NM

I really like that one. Thanks for posting

Very nice...I like the color of the water up close...good size of fisherman!

Wonderful you knocked this out! Great work!

Soooo good, Michael! You should do people more often. Love that you took away some of the beach sand in the painting. What you ended up with was so perfect!!!!

That wave painting 7:09 , in the fore ground is nice because it's so abstract and looks like maybe a cloud shadow passing. Nice effect, keep up the good work.

That's really good! I like how you just go for it.

Wow! Subscribed for a long time--first time I feel compelled to comment...fantastic abstraction and I love all the looseness and energy--reminds me of Winslow Homer...I'm a big fan! Love watching every week--

That really turned out nice, Mile.

I really enjoyed seeing how you approached the figure in this painting. Has a Winslow Homer feel with the solitary fisherman.

Adding the figure was a nice change from your usual. Great job!

Love the painting. In some of your previous videos there have been some interesting “figures” enjoying the beach. I’ve been hoping you would capture their contribution to the overall scene. Thank you for broadening your skills and continuing to inspire me.

Very nice . Love the figure .

Awesomeness ❤️. That's one really awesome thing about paint as a medium, if you dont like something you can just paint over it or like you said repurpouse panels. Can't really do that with watercolor, marker or ink. Much love ❤️ 🙏

Michael, good , fresh , feeling 0:29 , your energy and projection is “‘NEW , A different facet of creativity, I like it 🙂

One of your best paintings. I love that you put a figure in.

Oh I like it!

Nice one. Figures are present in most of my favorite paintings by past masters. I’m looking forward to seeing more in your future paintings.

Love it!

This was fun to watch, the colours are so vibrant and I love it 😍

Really enjoyed watching your process to develop the figure! You are very good with this. Agree you should do more figures!

Love this 🎉

Looks good to me

MICHAEL , 11:05. , beautiful painting ❤️

I very much agree with @40bdg - your talent and the work you create is amazing!

How about adding surfers into your paintings, seems like a great fit!

GOD bless

Very nice ❤❤❤

8:37 - the limed touquoise is touched by the fuschia hue, it’s countenance in rouge, , 3 in hooded cloaks attend, adjacent below. Opaque views all from under the brush shaft, it’s blue adornment, with jeweled forehead, monitors but cannot by seen. Great energy in the touquoise mass, it presents it’s own, with the touch of the bristle.

Yea like it brings a life to your sea scapes .

Good morning Michael

Looks pretty good. I lIke the red in the figure against the green of the water. Also like how the rod goes out of top. Just needed a bit more energy with bolder marks throughout and softer broken edges to the figure so he looks less like a silhouetted statue. All just my humble opinion of course. 😁

I love it!, like very much how loose is the figure,…take care

Hi Michael, I enjoyed watching this develop. Nice results 👍🏽 Are you going to experiment with both large and small figures?

I like the scene and how you painted it. To me the figure doesn't scream "fisherman", though. It sort of looks like an 18th or 19th century soldier holding a spear. I think it's how he's holding the fishing rod, mode of a martial pose.

Imagine being those people that he painted

Might try this one myself if you don’t mind Michael?❤️ from Australia

Hi Micheal…Nice work. Small point. You used the word “scale” several times in this video. I think your use of that work was really about the “size” of the figure. When I think of scale in an artwork I think about a small model say… of a car. If photographed correctly the model could appear to be actual size of a real car. In a painting with good scale, if you saw a photo of it in a book you would not now what size it was. Think of an Albert Bierstadt painting in a book. It has good scale bc you can’t tell how big it is until you read the dimensions. Anyway, just my thought in describing scale in an artwork to me isn’t about how large something is. Cheers-Greg

Did they catch anything though? 😅

Hi to help more with your figure oil painting go out and do more DRAWING not just in paint use more sketchig
