You’ll see how I miserably fail at first, but how we can learn from mistakes and finally do something great!
And, I’ll introduce you to a real-life mermaid: Syrena!

very wonderful!!!! I like the way you did the underpainting and then another colour on top!
Thank you! Yeah, I usually like to work in watercolor first and intensify the colors with gouache. It does make a nice difference!
I love that Klimt on the wall. It"s so nice to see artists appreciate their own work, I think that painting is just gorgeous, so beautiful. YOU ARE SO VERY TALENTED. The mermaid is lovely.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous ❤
@@Redlox70 thanks for watching!

@@mygeekfamilycotton +1💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
This was so useful 😍
I've been obsessed with Mucha and Art Nouveau but unable to replicate the style
Thanks a lot! Hope I was able to help!
That was wonderfully done! I just discovered your channel and love your work. And to top it off you did so with charm. Fantastic!
Thanks a lot for watching !
I am planning a relief piece loosely based on Mucha, thank you for the tips as I am in the beginning of planning it
Glad it helps! To be honest, the detail I did on the framing pattern could be far better, but use my mistakes to make something more beautiful! 😋
I just discovered your channel by accident and you totally blew my mind. Rarely have I seen such an instructive video about an art style and yet so entertaining and understandable. I am glad to have found you and of course subscribed immediately.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
I love your work. It is amazing. I am a huge fan of mucha and an in awe of your interpretation. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much, Gigi!
Loved watching this , I hope I can find a good photo to use and try your method
Thanks for watching! Let me know how it turned out!
I'm doing a canvas painting and hopefully I can do the colors "Mucha style"... your underpainting technique will definitely help me to achieve the colors. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for watching ! Let me know how it turned out!
Love the picture & was just last week looking for an art nouveau tutorial, and this one was perfect. Thank you
So nice how the gouache details, line work and gold details in my eyes transformed the painting. Must try this
Thanks for watching! Don’t hesitate to share your work on social media (tweeter or Insta) with the #mgfcpaint, so I can see it! Cheers
Thanks for the mention in the video! Yes, I love your channel!
Thank you for being a faithful follower and contributing with your fantastic creations!
That is a great composition and enjoyable video. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for watching!
Oh I’ve got one! Marc Chagall.
Yes it’s so fun to watch you paint & thank you for the tips ! J’ai planifié de peindre mon partenaire Van Gogh style. Hé hé
Oh oui! Il faut je fasse Chagall! Merci, je vais l’ajouter sur ma liste!
❤
Thank you!
Much appreciation for these tutorials. You, good man, are an artist! Who are you and where are you? I am in a small town in the Canadian Rockies and exploring abstract painting which I feel could take more time than have I. Thank you again.
Thanks Ann! These are actually small experiments, more than exact tutorials. But I hope you viewers are ok to accompany me on this art history and techniques journey. I am actually French, but have been living for a long time in Singapore (and other Asian countries before that). Thanks for watching from Canada! Cheers!
I am SOOO delighted to have come upon your WONDERFUL channel!! You are such an excellent teacher in such a joyful manner !! You have done videos on some of my very favorite artists ... I love hearing their history ... and how you interpret their styles and then use that style in a painting of your own ... SOO GREAT!! I was wondering if you might be interested in doing a video on JC Leyendecker whose style I love ... THANK YOU for sharing all your amazing expertise!!
Hi Jayne! Thanks a lot for all this praise! I don’t think I deserve half of it! ☺️ you are not the first one to mention Leyendecker… let me see what I can do, and you may see it in a future video! 😋 cheers!
@@mygeekfamilycotton YAAAY!! THANK YOU!! :-) ... And you certainly DO deserve ALL the praise!! I'm SOO impressed with your amazing artistry!! :-)
I am in love. It's absolutely amazing. Only the pronunciation of Mucha is off. It's pronounced with a Spanish J sound instead of the English K for the CH letter. (Yes, I know how to pronounce it, I am of the same nationality, and yes, in this language CH is in fact one letter.)
Thank you very much for watching! And thanks for the pronunciation tip! I didn’t know… in my research I heard it as « mutcha », « Muka » but never « Muja »!!
it so nice paint cara look pretty nice to meet she interessting
Yes! We costume together for the Rebel Legion (Star Wars), and we became friends!
@@mygeekfamilycotton it pretty cool 👍🏻👍🏻
Are there any more specific techniques he used when painting besides lithography?
Hi! Sure, Mucha was using lithography to print his posters, but was an accomplish painter too (his murals are so full of details !), as an illustrator, he was ink, paint (watercolor and gouache) too!
Can you do a videos on 7 steps to paint like Francis Bacon
It is in the works! Modigliani and Matisse first, new episode soon!
@@mygeekfamilycotton AMAZING! I was also going to request Matisse. Your videos are really helpful.
Thanks for watching them!

@@mygeekfamilycotton I love your sense of humor!
Nice! However, the semi-circles are tending towards Art Deco and Mucha is ar nouveau.
Thank you! You can easily replace with another pattern. No problem
merci pour tous ces partages joyeux, instructifs et inspirants.
J'aimerais proposer l'idée de peindre comme Egon Schiele, et Guayasamin. Peut-être que tu y trouveras de l'intérêt.
Plein de succès et de plaisir dans tes projets.
Merci beaucoup! J’aimerais bien essayer Egon Schiele!! On va voir… il faut que j’y travaille… encore merci et à bientôt!
I would like to know mpre about line painting Picasso or Matisse.
Hi!! Thanks for watching. I am preparing a video about Matisse. I have been busy for the end of the year and I am very late to post anything, but be patient! It is coming!
With respect, I recommend you take a picture of your line drawing next time.
If you can put that on your computer, you can add layers of color which are easily removed or changed. It could save you a lot of time.
I'm currently teaching myself to build furniture.
I find it just as useful to test my ideas and techniques on scrap pieces rather than start with my main pieces.
That is true. I sometimes do a thumbnail sketch to see how every element (shapes, lines or Color) works in relation with the rest. But I didn’t do it that time…
It seems that you are a good person and everything, but the truth is that if there was a contest about who couldn't paint like Alphonse, you would lose it because you would be at a professional level of how not to paint like him, I mean the hair, if they criticized him, they said that He painted spaghetti, imagine what they would say about yours, and the ornaments and patterns are like they were painted for a 5 yr old kid.
::: wondering why some people are so rude:::
You could have made her with dark hair and at least with asian features...
It would be nice if you pronounced his surname correctly. Actually, the Wikipedia shows the correct pronunciation: [ˈalfons ˈmuxa], that is «Mukha» not «Muka».

That is right, sorry for that. A viewer from Czech Republic corrected me in an earlier comment… 😋
Mucha is my fave. Is this your mail order bride?
