The energy in the bold brush strokes is insane. Keep up the great work.

I love the painting in the background at the end with the palm trees 🌴

Great video as usual. That's such a good tip re keeping the colours warm. I've found that my paintings seem a little flat, so I'll keep that in mind for the future. I really appreciate you making these videos, I'm learning so much every time 😊

I have learnt so much about painting from you. Keep up the fine teaching.

I now use my heavy fishing weights hooked on a single chain, with a hook on one end of the chain, to hang off the center of my easel. It's never blown over since when painting in the desert or coasts!

Liquin original is still a terrific medium for working on-site; with all the different alkyd mediums available, Liquin still has so many advantages- thixotropic gel formula that stays put on the palette, but liquifies when brushed, desirable gloss finish, and fast drying rate. We really enjoyed this video, which shows why painting en plein air is such great training for working decisively and for packing as much information into each brushstroke as possible!

We enjoy Sunday mornings with you. Looks like the limited palette is here to stay for now, which speaks to your excellent color mixing skills. This week’s video yielded an especially beautiful painting. We’ve noticed the shift away from extra scenes of surfing, guest artists, music, and the burrito report from El Gran Amigo, which were also fun.

Beautiful painting and so great to see the process (including any struggles)- thank you!

Another very awesome video! Thanks for your encouragement!!

Love it. Haven't seen any surfing vids lately. Miss them.

I really like what you said that you can always darken the color but the most important thing is am I having fun here. Painting is sometimes stressful to me because I want it to be in certain way . but what you said was really inspiring. love the video!

I really love your style and your explanation! You define the painting process very well. Also, the tone of the videos is super relaxing. You are truly talented! Congratulations for your work!! 🤠✨

“Exaggerate, recreate the lived experience” thanks for this Michael👏😎

Fantastic job, sir! The painting is so beautiful! Great colors. I also like how you have developed your own distinct painting style. This location is really awesome! Greetings from the EU!

Your style reminds me of Edward Hopper

Michael, another beautiful painting! I agree that art does not necessarily record the scene as it is, but recreates the lived experience. Thank you for taking me along on the journey.

Thanks for your comments about matching colors versus pushing color as interpreted by the artist. Really helpful!

Fine interpretation of the scene. I love the feeling of light and simplification of the scene.

You 're so a good teacher ! Thank You si much To share your vidéos !

On a day nice and bright Prepares to use a lotta titanium white Shape shifting, simplifying Wind almost has the easel high flying What’s guano? Never mind, don’t wanna know Less wind equals more fun Videos over, felt like it’s just begun Exaggerate, recreate Pa-tre-on where ideas germinate 🌊😁 A winner. I love the painting you did and the one in the background back at the studio too. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

Love the saturated jewel-toned colors in this painting, Michael. You pushed them to just the right degree, touching up nature a bit. That comes with experience. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Amazing ocean plein air painting!

13:46 Michael , your instructional commentary, about the light , and, recreating the lived experience of standing in front , ( so true )

Loved your colors and how you created them - thank you, & keep out of the wind!

Your really inspiring me to get back to painting.I was using both chalk and oil pastels for years.Really enjoying your style and teaching us as you paint.Your works are alive.🇨🇦

Love the video,nice work dude 😎

Mad and quick 😅 MAGICAL! 🩵 Thank you for the explanation and reminders while painting, even in the strong wind.

I'm so enjoying your videos!! They are wonderful and you are so talented. Thanks for sharing your expertise because I am learning a lot.

This is a ‘’most beautiful painting Michael 13:17 ❤️’’

Interesting about the saturation and creating more warmth - i have a Mt landscape that i might try that with - it worked in your seascape very well

Good morning Michael. I like how you pushed the colors in this, they do seem to create the sense of the lived experience. I am missing some transparency though. There is a convincing depth to the painting, and yet it also seems flat. Does that make sense? I still like it 👍🏽

I was just all up and down the California coast last month. I even found the spot in Pescadero where you made a painting, and of which I had made a painting from your tutorial last year. It was magical to see the actual place. (I live in Washington.) Anyway. My question is...do you ever paint in Big Sur? It's so epic. I imagine it could be the wind deterring you. But it'd be wonderful to see you paint there! (And since it's only a little further from Carmel and Pacific Grove, where you have painted in the past.) As for this video, wonderful work portraying the light! Love your work!

Great one. I like the colors in the water work. The vertical strokes in the sky too! 🙂

Amazing !

Beautiful painting!

I'm not a painter, but just watching this video relaxed me and inspired me to pain

Lovely painting

Love it ❤

Another popper,very nice

good video mate!!!

Fantastic! I have a question: for a short while you were using Rosemary brushes but I noticed you‘d gone back to Utrecht. Is there a particular reason? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Nice one Michael. I’ve been looking for a good thalo blue green but haven’t found any with Winsor newton . Suggestions?

12:59 “‘ pops of light “‘ ( cute tiny heart ) 👋😝😁😁

Good morning Michael 😊

How/why did you settle on this palette? The cad yellow medium is a bit unique. I've always used cad yel light and that's what I mostly see recommended. Was yellow light too "toxic greenish" or high chroma for your use?

👏👏👏

Michael “‘ Thumbnailed about 1/2 through 13:13 😁😁😁

Can you think of a better result from an hours investment?
