5:03 "If you get the big shapes right the painting should work" SO TRUE!...it turned out great!👏

Great reminder to capture those ever-changing shadows before they're neutralized by the sun. Love the jewel tones of color, and of course, the trail invites me to go see what lies beyond the lifeguard house.

This one turned out magnificently!

Michael , I absolutely love this painting!! Bravo.. I like all your work, but the extra foreground and trail is great and I really love the distant purple hue. Mountains !

Good morning Michael. For me you can never say “big shapes” too much! Appreciate the reminder 😁👍🏽

Wow you always manage to make a seemingly impossible and complicated scene make sense without losing your personal style of painting. Loving the colors and composition as always.

Love it. Your colors and brush strokes are great

Your doing great with the greens,mixing blues

Your colors are gorgeous. I’ve said it before- that blue you initially lay down for the water is what I want for my VW Rabbit. It’ll happen and I’ll share it. Thx💕🙏🏻✨

Can we see a video with you just doing day to day tasks and errands? 🙃 I miss those where you’re fixing up the house, making coffee, getting a burrito, etc. Vlog style/ day in the life.. ❤

Beautiful!

Great results as always.

Exceptional work and valuable tips. Thank you. I spent the first 14 years of my life on the other side of those mountains. Leo Carrillo is a real treasure. I definitely need to get out and paint. 😂✌🌮

Made my Sunday morning more relaxing 🫶🏼🫶🏼 happy Sunday guys!

Really like this one. Your video and a cup of ☕️ on a Sunday morning, perfect!

Great result as always - you make it seem so easy 😊

Love this viewpoint and the colors you used! Turned out great!

Michael - Your composition is already beautiful 6:29

Love these ocean settings, Michael ... and as ever, the beauty of your creative eye. ❤

This beach is so beautiful, and your amazing work very inspiring. It is such a pleasure to watch you work, Mike! This painting is such a masterpiece! Thanks for the tutorial!

Awesome!

I really benefit so much from watching you “block in the big shapes”. I am getting better at drawing in the big shapes with pencil before I begin painting in watercolor. Thank you for making these videos. You are helping us become better painters! 😊

Very interesting ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹 Your work is very beautiful ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹 Thank you for sharing ❤❤👍👍🌹🌹

Micheal, great Crit of your own painting and changes to make. Cheers-Greg

Sooo good as usual, Michael!!!!

Good on you suporting the local food bank Michel its more blessed to give than recive .

sometimes the color green become too much in this type of sceneries, I think the way you use different tones and colors in the green help a lot ( this works like a asmr video between the sound of the brush and the sea )

Good morning Michael 🙂
