Thanks! It takes a few plein air sessions to get comfortable but you'll soon get to the point where you don't feel self conscious at all! Just keep going 😊👍

Thanks! Next level rhyming today Suz! 😊✌️💛

@@chamberlainpaintings 👍 king

you're the best Suz!

@@ariahmyles you two are so kind to me. It makes my day, dude.

Your poems are the best, really enjoy each one! Puts a smile on my face for sure.

Yes, beautiful weather!

Thanks!

Once you set up and start painting you’ll be fine. Most of the fear is anticipatory!

Thanks! 😊🙏

Thanks Hazel!

Thanks Ariah! Too bad no waves 😂

Thanks Sharron!

Thanks Lesley! Maybe someday I'll paint Pleasant Point!

Thanks Cory, much appreciated!

Thanks Olda! 😊

@@chamberlainpaintings Cheers!

Thanks Yadi!

😂👍

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Cedric! We gotta paint at the beach sometime soon!

@@chamberlainpaintings awesomeness!!!!!!

Thanks! 🙏

I used to have that problem back when I used smaller brushes. My smaller brights became stiff and unusable even though I cleaned them thoroughly. I now use larger natural and synthetic flats and it's not a problem. Sizes 4 thru 10.

@@chamberlainpaintings Thank you so much. That was so helpful 😉

(buy new ones for bday painting parties tho) , just wishful thinking on my part guys

Thanks Robert! I use the tripod if I think I may paint while seated. My back was stiff from too much standing so I brought it just in case. I still love the Anderson!

Thanks Barbra Joan! I really appreciate your comment 🙏

Thanks Roger! Exaggerating to recreate the lived experience 😊

@@chamberlainpaintings yep I think it’s called “Artistic license “

@@59jaguar Yes!

Thanks!

Thanks Tim!

Very poetic 🌟

michael at 13:12 , Behold the unclothed Madonna, as a riddle, or a story, of some, gifted to one. See creativity path it’s way up a shore, , stops, , and sees it’s own as breathed, from a countenance, a single eye, wraithed wrist across it’s forehead. It’s kin mingles a brightness separated that wears a headdress. .Atop the right cliff, sitting upon the face in the rock, see an aged one, cloak of green, arms , shoulders covered, length of mostly dark hair down the back, woven headdress perhaps of straw, , sitting are casks , behind, not of wine. . Leaning on a right arm it’s left restrains a creature fraught with escape. . Below a tattered left cloak sleeve, a small one stands, another sits, both nearly touched by purple. . Just beyond the right cloaked shoulder, the purple resides. . At the base of green , midst of the cliff, a visibly bold creature, on fours, it’s greying mane flows across and behind. . A second green cloak , weary, lays behind the mane and it’s length reaches the orange barrier. .The Cliff lower portion is pierced of three types, each decend to edge darkened reflection that lays deep upon surface sea. . The orange barrier maintains itself, two standards erect , bulwarks are on the further rock, the right standard gathers it’s sight, the left, , the unknowns. . Center edge, greyrock, one clothed in white, and it’s red headdress. . A machination is in the sea, the orange barrier touches it and the bulwark upon the first rock. .White water of the sea holds it’s own barrier, before and further beyond. . Lightning falls as misted rain from the sky.. At 15:01, see the completed , cloaked madonna, a beautiful, complete painting creativity adorned ❤️ ☺️😁

Thanks Rose!

😂👍🙏

I prefer Liquin to the gel. The gel felt stickier and it didn’t work as well for the sweeping strokes. I use it indoors tho. Liquin is too toxic for indoors

@@chamberlainpaintings Thanks Michael. I’ve been using Walnut Alkyd oil too. I like it better than the solvent free liquid.

Thanks Michelle! The solvent free gel worked really well for the shorter strokes but it was a little sticky for the longer ones. I prefer Liquin but I would use the gel if painting indoors 😊👍

Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks Charles! I usually thin with Liquin and sometimes add a bit of odorless mineral spirits. I don't ever thin with odorless mineral spirits alone except for when toning the panel. I only use Liquin outdoors. When indoors I use Gamblin solvent free gel or a mixture of one part stand oil, one part OMS, two parts linseed oil. Hope that helps!

@@chamberlainpaintings It most certainly does! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

Thanks Joyce! I'm using mostly Utrecht with some Gamblin and some Winsor and Newton. I still like Utrecht paints. I haven't noticed any change in quality 😊👍

@@chamberlainpaintings thank you!

I haven’t noticed! I don’t use it very often

Good Morning Mark!
