Yes, very useful! Cone it off and paint anywhere. Even in the middle of a busy street!

Tim Horn always starts with a sketch A habit that is well entrenched The cars in shadow may prove testy Starts right of painting does his bestie If it doesn’t work twice, he’s going to edit Ideas the left brain tries to discredit Urban plein air always a workout Heads to the taqueria for a time out Always good to enjoy rapprochement Don’t forget to check out Pa-tre-on 😁 Love the city scapes. Those books of sketches are priceless. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

'If something doesn't work, I get rid of it' Exactly! I've done lots of 'surgery' on many projects and the results always turn out much better. One must remember that painting is NOT photography and that excluding items from a work is perfectly fine. Removing that white building from your painting allowed it to work much better! Great lesson in re-arranging a project! Thanks Michael....another great, straight-forward video!

I find it so stressful trying to paint when the sunlight is changing everything 😂 yet you both captured the feeling of this scene perfectly with the coolness of the shadows in the foreground. the cool vs warmth really brings the atmosphere of the street onto the canvas

Interesting. I love Tim Horn’s work. About a year ago, I had the idea of using ultramarine blue for everything in shade to start out. I had no idea he did the same thing!

Very cool to see two different artists paint side by side. Both paintings are awesome!

Tim is interesting, I liked it. Those sketch books seem like a decent way to have some fun. 4:45, sounds like a cool story told in a sassy voice. 7:40, downgrading the street into older days when that building might not have been there, perfect plot twist. Tim's artwork looked like a photo, almost impossible to tell it was painted unless you get up close (like less than a feet away). Those values were crazy. Mike's painting looks like a fantasy story from a kid book and very inviting too. Great paintings you guys.

Love your videos and seeing how others plein air painters work !

Not in a milion years i will achive your talent in showing the light, i am so fascinated, again sorry for my poor english, thank you for a lovely time watching a master in action.

wow this is amazing to watch

Tims Sketch book just looks soooo beautiful a real lesson for us all, I do try for my studio studies but they are real rough lol

i get so excited when i see a notification

I would buy it too, Tim!

I love this. I've sketched there when visiting beautiful California. Thank you for sharing this excellent video, and your superb art and location.

pleeesse publish those sketches!! I would definitely buy

Amazing, learn so much from your videos.

Thinking about taking Tim's workshop when he comes to Nashville. Either that or Monhegan Island :)

I love Mr. Horn's sketches, but I love Mr. Chamberlain's painting. I think books should be made, if possible.

Congrats on that painting! The composition was quite difficult. Thank you for teaching me the importance of starting with the shadow values and really focusing on that. I am feeling more satisfied with my paintings now when I use this approach!

Thanks Daphné! Focusing on value patterns is so helpful in getting a good composition. I'm so glad it's working for you!

Stuff that "doesn't make sense" can be quite liberating, as long as they don't clash or prominently stand out with the rest of the painting. One spot that stands out from the rest invites an explanation. But if there are several areas that "don't make sense", each one is more forgiven...but then the whole painting gets accused of being "unfinished"... the academic criticism cast upon impressionist paintings in general. Kind of tricky.

Another brilliant urban painting. How do you ensure that you don't get paint onto the cars next to your easel ? Working on a slope must be difficult - do you run the risk of getting your perspective wrong or the buildings become too large? And then you moved everything over to the shady part of the street!!! I envy your ability to edit the detail out and capture the image. Tim's sketching beforehand is good - its something I'm trying to do. Really like these urban/cityscape series of paintings. How many times do you visit a location before doing a painting?

If people don't want paint on their cars, they shouldn't have parked there! Actually, i'm glad the owner never showed up, because they probably would have been a little miffed at how close I was to their car. I try to get most of the paint on the canvas though.

@chamberlainpaintings

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Paul. Keeping paint off the nearby cars isn't a problem. Painting on a slope can be more tiring on the legs but it has to be a pretty steep slope. I haven't noticed the slope changing perspective. I usually do a painting the first time I visit a location if I see something inspiring. I often return to spots that I feel have potential. As I mentioned in the video it often takes painting a scene a few times before I achieve a result I'm happy with.

Publish the sketches ! I´d buy one too !

Great paintings

I'd buy it. I actually prefer the sketch work to the paintings. Unless it's painted in the academic style it isn't worth spending money on in my opinion. But the sketch, now that's cool.
