I will add, the SF street painting on the floater looks incredible, well all the paintings look incredible but that one has that nighty vibe with the lightning and the purples that pop up the complementaries so well, plus the varnish, I don't know...made me want to have it, it looks perfect. You know your videos are mellow, they have art, surf, food, nice locations and you are a super cool dude. People always tell me to make a channel but I don't know if I have what it takes cause you've set the bar too high. Im not a Chamberlain!

Very helpful. I was struggling with doing my own floater framing. Answered my question exactly that other videos missed. Thanks!

Great use of complementary colors. There are certain painter’s processes that I like watching and you’re one of them. I’ve always wondered about Euan Uglow’s process. Steven Assael has a wild process!

Thanks for your support! This video was also great to go along with making the frames. I am in that exact same place where I am preparing for a show, and need to save the chunk of money to have someone else do these frames. Thanks for the video! )))

yup!!! I have a bunch of gold and black frames... your natural wood floaters are beautiful and fits your modern look!!!

Oh wow!! I need to get some tools from the hardware store! This looks so much more affordable in the long term, especially when I usually buy from an art shop. Ps. love the sneakers painting 👟

I don't know how I haven't seen this video...I love your floaters and the work you put on the presentation of your paintings. But I already told you that before, as well as other many things Im always repeating lol...I'll continue doing it though because your work deserves it and the comments help to the growing of the channel.

I love that painting , the colours and composition are brilliant .

Invaluable information on float frames. Regarding your gold frames, simply pull out a tube of brown or (insert appropriate colour here) oil paint you have lying around and brush it onto the gold leaf, then rub off using a rag. Voila, different frames.

Love your frames, definitely integral to the Chamberlain look

beautiful painting! Can't wait to see the whole collection for the show

Thank you so much for the video! I need to improve my frame making abilities!

Thanks mate, I’m going to start making them for my smaller works. 👍

OMG! These paintings are fantastic! I love them. Brilliant job, Mr. Chamberlain! Btw. I love the city themes.

Wow, this is fantastic it’s jammed packed with tons of valuable information. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful work too!

This is amazing. Thank you so much for showing this! Love this painting as well, incredible work.

I think this a great supplement to your other frame video. Good luck with your upcoming shows and hope you are safe from all the fires and smoke.~Jon

Thank you for great information video.

Thanks for the Video and tips your work really works well in those frames love it .Framing can be a huge cost but this also is so practical and not such a huge expense well done .But best of all it really make the painting look like the star of the show which is what it's all about Thanks

Thank you sir .. you have really help me .. am from Ghana...

The Café at Dusk turned out fantastic framed (I watched the other video where you painted it).

Tbh watching these videos later in the day/@night is the most calming thing ever.

Thanks for this brilliantly simply explained video. Your method is so much more easy to do to achieve a very good quality frame.👍👍

Hi Michael. I always watch but don't always comment. Want to wish you luck with your Oct. show. Looks like you have some wonderful paintings to display. Liz and I love your SF city paintings especially. Of course, I love the ocean paintings also. Always makes us homesick for the bay area. Yours frames are perfect for your paintings. I love the pochade boxes you make also. It sure helps to be a talented carpenter along with being a very talented artist.

i had no idea of how people did this type of framing!!!! very well explained :-)

Ok wait- I needed this thank you

Thank you for sharing. It’s very generous of you.

Stretcher bar keys actually work well to use as a shim between the frame and painting.

Beautiful artwork. Thanks for the video

Thank You!!!

Great tips! Love your work!

Love your vedeo vedeos especially the DIY frame making ones. I do my own faming also. Hope to see more.

I tell you in spanish,Michael. No sólo eres un gran pintor sino que también enmarcas maravillosamente bien tus obras de arte. Eres un ejemplo a seguir. Bravo!!!!

Hey Michael, I'd have a question about mounting the panels to that wooden support frame. What do you do if the panel is slightly deformed or bend caused by the liquid paint on the one side. Any advise on how to glue that back on a frame to stabilize it without ruining the paint layer?

San Francisco looks like such a lovely city from your artwork and your vlogs. I would love to visit there if I ever go back to America. I actually love the architecture because it reminds me of a mixture of LA and Melbourne, Australia with the terrace houses and the coloured weatherboard! So pretty! I'd also love to visit Studio Gallery because the local art always looks incredible online!

Really enjoy your videos on frames and your painting demos. Can you tell me what kind of glue you use to mount your panels to the cradle? Thank you for all your youtube information!

I'm usually pretty critical of many art videos here, but I must say that not only are these quite good paintings, but the frames are very nice, clean and modern. And there are some new useful tips here about building and using them. Good work!

yo ! i really needed this video , thank you sir

very talented. Thank you so much for sharing

Your frames are really nice Michael.

your paintings are so great!!!

Love your videos! What do you use to sign the back of canvas paintings? Was thinking Sharpie might cause bleed through problems or something. Thanks

Hello, do you sometimes use a different color than black for the background of the frame? Or have you ever tried something else, like white or just the natural color of the wood? I wonder how it would look

Very informative! Thanks! I love the look of these frames too but there doesn’t seem to be a vast supply up here in Canada. I recently ordered some floaters from a company based in Montreal but they were too shallow for my canvas. The website didn’t specify depth at all! So when I went to Vancouver recently I stopped in at Opus and they have wooden frames. I bought 2 that were supposed to fit a 3/4” canvas.... but they were slightly too shallow so the painting wasn’t flush. I wish I could make my own like you but I am disabled and my husband isn’t that handy, unfortunately 😕 I guess I’ll keep looking because I think buyers like the paintings pre-framed.

Their looking great!

Where do you get your wood to make your frames

Outstanding

Very nice! Just curious why the sides of the masonite aren't sealed? Or it may just look that way on the vid. Not sure if that would be a problem down the line. Thanks!

I think I’ll go to my local framing store since I’m only doing one 12”X16” oil painting.

very cool & useful

Love your frames Mike, That painting is a Gem🎨👍

thank u for this!!

Beautiful art! Great work as always!! Stay connected and stay safe!!

Great video, as usual!

Could you do a quick video of applying the varnish?

where'd you get the L shape lumber from?

👍👍👍

Good stuff!

Great work - painting and frames. Maybe larger paintings would look even better with wider frames?

Would the foam tape work for large heavy 20x20 flat panels? I would had assumed you’d screw into the painting cradle. Great art by the way!

Nice painting it has that nightfall wibe. Shouldn`t you write your webpage on the back. Like a stamp with all contact stuff you do great stuff.

Very interesting Thankyou Michael

What is the price of the paintings without the frame and with the frame of medium and small size?

With the foam tape, how do you do the lining up on that when dropping the panel in? If it is crooked it is stuck the moment you drop it in.

KING

Such a nice looking frame. When you attach a panel to a cradle, do you need to wait a long time so it's sufficiently dry in order to clamp the panel to the cradle?

That painting is fantastic! Was that mounted linen or just gesso? AWFULLY vibrant if it isn't linen. Your frames are killer as well!

Mike, Do you try to have all your pieces use the same frame face width of 1-1/4"? In this video, your cradle is 3/4". What thickness is the panel? I'm guessing 1/4" roughly. So, with the 3/4 base, 3/4 cradle and 1/4 panel, its 1-3/4 face on the frame which you state in the How to Make Floaters video. Here, you have the panel slightly below the face of the frame. Are you making any adjustments or dimensional variations when you have canvas vs panels? For instance, the 3/4 base plus the 3/4 stretcher is 1-1/2". Would you cut the frame face width of 1-3/4" down or leave the 1/4 difference alone? I'm making floats for watercolors that I mount and have used 1/4 panels and 3/8 panels. Its extra time and effort to make the cradle part for the 1/4 panel of course. As you, I mount loose paintings to the 3/8 panels when I want to float them. I use the mounted paper for plein air since they travel better. One more question if you please: Your poplar lumber looks closer to the color of pine. Is this a different type of poplar? What I can buy has a more greenish cast. Thanks Mike.

MY IDOL!!!

so you sell your work?

Can you film a tutorial just on how to draw with pencil?

Do you suggest gloss Gamvar or satin?

Pry means being nosy. You want to prize it out i believe

Did you know Chip Chadbourn (aka Alfred Chadbourn)?
