Really great painting idea - so few people paint dusk/dark scenes.

Really nice painting. I love the abstraction and lights.

Love the looseness of your work -- looks effortless but with a cohesive energy. These videos are excellent!

This was so much fun to watch!You were much looser in your approach than I imagined you would be. Watching these real time videos, I’m making new observations about color and value relationships all the time.

What do we think.? I’ve been there and you’ve captured the feeling so well. The lights are so important in this piece, and even though it’s nighttime or dusk they give the warmth that’s needed. Loved the ‘real time’ video. It gives us the thoughts in your head before you do it. Thanks so much .

I enjoy hearing you talk about color mixing. Particularly in terms of atmospheric perspective. Thank you.

I very much enjoyed this video. Fascinating to see how you constructed the abstract nature of the painting, Simplifying isn’t simple ! Excellent.

fantastic video, I appreciate the longer real time format thank you for sharing. Love how you put in the lights at the end with quick strokes

Take it easy, by the Eagles! Definitely remember that one! Many a family road trip was had with the Eagles 😁 I also love the long form videos, educational and relaxing!

This is one of my favorites. I love the playing of lights and darks. Love this one. And yes the looseness it awesome

I really need to force myself to loosen up while painting more often. I find that it’s a common thing for artists to not want to risk ruining their piece by being “messy”, but the ones I put the messy brush strokes behind end up being my favourites despite not being perfect

@chamberlainpaintings

Yes, something about those messy strokes really makes for a more interesting painting.

Love the abstraction and simplicity of the shapes and values. The lights and shapes inform and define the composition beautifully and creates an interesting and entertaining little gem of a painting.

Very cool painting. The loose feel is understated yet you know it's Alcatraz without question. The long form video is helpful. Definitely do some more of them. Thanks!

Probably far more helpful than many of the workshops I've attended, so thanks for that. Do you still have any paintings of Monhegan that may be available? Thanks, man.

yess king cp, what if you paint emma jeans!!! that's the collab we would like to see

Hi Mike, it's incredible how you simplify the shapes of the buildings to almost an abstract point and it still works. I can't do that. I confess once I've tried painting a SF streetview to follow a premise of yours (not replicating your work but by painting some pic I found to practice complicated street views in the process) but it turned out cheesy and I painted it over...I put too many buildings and couldn't solve it. I think I would have to go too realistic with a street to make it work.

Cityscapes are a challenge. I've done this particular view many times so I have some of the problems worked out, but my success rate with cityscapes is low. Most of them are in a box in my studio.

chamberlainpaintings you are too humble, I've seen many awesome cityscapes of yours. But I believe you, although I'd love to see that box.

Depending on my mood, I like either long form video or time-lapse. I saw another ytber do both. Just took the long form voice over and condensed it. So you had the option ...depending on the ever changing moods of artists. 😜

Great! Thanks! Love It!!!! I'm learning to paint. So helpful.

From when you started blocking in and adding the initial washes of color (around minute 6) did you thin the paint with liquin or something else?
