I really appreciate how you continue to push yourself to try something new--it's something I think all of us aspire to but usually don't pursue. Loved how this one turned out--even if it's not something you typically paint. You also managed to go even looser than normal and it absolutely worked. Well done!

I like your early experimentation with the composition and am also interested in loosening up my painting strokes (which is harder than anticipated). It's interesting watching you do my work for me by figuring things out in the real venue. I want to capture the large shapes and get the interesting brush strokes but not dismiss the structure of the flowers and weeds AND avoid the saccharine, as you say. There is some point in the middle or a little south of the middle. This painting has addressed some of my question and would love to see what happens after you get back to the studio.

Just a thought. I really appreciate your videos being a nice, inspiring, relaxing part of my Sundays.

Another instructive and delightful post to watch on a Sunday teatime in England! I have just finished reading and marking up John Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting, one of your great painters. You evolved a solution to a foreground with plants as he suggests, ‘colonies of colour’ and tonal recession to suggest depth. I enjoyed your video which brought to life pages 67-9 and 79! Great minds think alike!!!

@@chamberlainpaintings I have followed you for a few years now - Covid lockdowns were made bearable by watching you paint! I discovered Ian Roberts at the same time and I have been on his courses this year. Two done and one to come and these have been very effective. We are in a fallow break over summer and one activity is a book club. The Carlson book was his first recommendation, and he was a considerable teacher and painter in his time. It is a cheap Dover reprint, text is from 1929 but it has b/w illustrations in what is a 1970s edition. He died in the 1950s but his close observation of landscapes is a life long distillation. The chapters on trees and clouds are especially good. I think the pages I cited tackle the important fore-ground spaces where nothing seems to be happening, hence his colonies of interest. The book was worth it for his quoting Whistler! “Nature is very rarely right, to such an extent even, that it might almost be said that nature is usually wrong...” I have checked the ART UK webs site and as far as I know there are no Carlson paintings in the UK, which is a huge shame. He was obviously a famous name years ago and his work is well represented in the US. His New England landscapes were his home turf and he did visit the desert states. Images I have found on line are fine painting and he does not hesitate to take control of a scene and remove distractions. Much of what he states, I have seen you do instinctively - you have worked it out yourself. Where he may be useful is identifying those little things which you might see but not notice. These can make all the difference! Am looking forward to the next post!

Good video. 2 things: Repetitive sky holes look like windows in trees that lean toward houses because the high lights are lower than the tops. Also those close flowers could be titanium + a little yellow and use the tan color for the distant flower masses. IMHO, but an excellent loose interpretation and a great picture.
