5x7in, oil on panel.
I’m finally making paintings my mom would actually hang in her house. I never thought I would appreciate, like or even make things like this but here we are. I’m old! Painted with @katerado and @franklinlei during this session a few weeks back. #mymomthinksimtalented #pleinairpainting #pleinair #pleinairpainter #alameda #victorianhouse #landscapepainting #oilpainting #artist #oaklandartist #california (at Alameda, California)

Our memories lost to the sea…

Was on a 1 week vacation by the seaside and painted a lot. Marine wind is cold I got knocked out a few times but oh well. :’) 

“Stick to your day job kid…”- some man looking over my shoulder at this painting when I was only 10 mins in 

(That terrible interaction aside it was really nice to spend a little more time on a painting for once. It was also nice to paint something bigger than a couple of inches lol)

Gouache/Water color sketching! Here is a glimpse into another process for creating bold images using
gouache! In this demo I am starting as a traditional watercolor, leaving the white of the board for the highest
luminance within the image- namely the sun light breaking through the clouds. But then I switch into more opaque mixtures as the painting is built up. If you work transparent to opaque, it’s really important not to cover up all the wonderful happy accidents from those first washes of color! Otherwise what was the point? Reflected and bounced light should be similar values to the original washes for those respective areas, but you can now introduce more subtle color notes within the shadows. As usual, I reserve the high-lites for the end. The final seconds show how easily an image will come together if the overall, major ideas and block in stages are working. #sammichlap #painting #drawing #color #pleinair #traditional #artwork #classic #watercolorart #artofinstagram

#sammichlap #gouachepainting #painting #drawing #trains_of_instagram #artofinstagram #greattimes #color #pleinair #pleinairpainting #green A recent gouache sketch from one of my favorite subjects from past years - Trains! In this case, the vintage GP9 diesel locomotive. As a 6 year kid I spent a lot of time at my dads wood shop, located off the west runway at the Burbank Airport (1974).I’d watch this exact engine roll past my fathers shop, which always inspired drawings to follow. I guess they really made an impression on me to this day!

#sammichlap #cinematicdesign #filmdesign #pleinair #painting #color #design #artcenter #accd #artschool #conceptart #artlessons Week 7 HW of my painting 1 class at ACCD! The video shows last week’s Homework- using the Richard Schmid color chart system of mixing one color into every other color I asked the class to give 2 alts for each color harmony that results from each cross mixture. Each student did 24 frames- I think the class total thus far is close to 4K frames produced by 17 amazing students! The still shots feature a couple of weeks work collected for an upcoming ACCD display.

@sammichlap #artcenter #painting #filmstudies #design #cinematography #color #drawing #pleinair #artlessons #conceptart Week 3HW from my painting 1 class over at Art Center in Pasadena ca! 15 minute film frame studies x 24 per student x 17 students! This clip represents just a small portion of the work.
To introduce color mixing, I had each student use a limited palette(a different combination) for each frame, which was keyed in a certain direction for delivering specific harmonies. This class continues to exceed expectations! Keep in mind they are 2nd term students! Well done everyone!

#sammichlap #pleinair #painting #traditionalart #sketchoftheday #sketching #visualart #trains #traveltown #artofvisuals #broken #acrylicpainting #drawing 174/365… Another Pleinair from Travel-town Museum. I went out on Sunday with my son and we both painted this little saddleback steamer. It’s just rusting away and falling apart, which adds the the charm- I was trying to demo for my class the importance of simplifying your values right st the beginning- once the 2 value pattern is established, I then add the spots of color for the lights then shadows, keeping the values as contrasted as possible. Towards the end I add transitions and more sub divisions of temperature to help push the overall color ideas.

#totoro #wagon #myneighbortotoro #sammichlap #painting #visualart #artist #dailyart #drawing #sketchbook #adventure #animation #prop #rainy #myazaki #stilllife #pleinair In our local mall is a fantastic store Maido, and we spotted this little gem from our favorite film Totoro! It’s a wind up and the load of furniture giggles around as it rolls! I took a few pics of it set against the sleek retail stores and transformed it into this little scene. I enjoy Painting these still lives using fun props which create stories.
