    I've done some watercolour painting and at first used cheap brushes. Eventually bought a single sable hair brush for what I thought was a stupid price but that brush is the most amazing thing to paint with. I can't imagine painting without it, the way it holds the paint and water, the springyness, it's just so smooth and clean and an experience all on it's own. I can't afford a true professional series 7 but I can only imagine how much a difference the quality makes.

      Brushes are a tool. Expensive tools are aimed at professionals. I'm an electrician by trade, I don't use a £30 multimeter from a hardware store I use a £700 Fluke. The same holds true for brushes. Most of us, myself included will never get the best from a good brush just like most people don't need the range and accuracy of an expensive multimeter or the sound quality of £5,000 studio headphones or what ever other crazy expensive version of a normal every day tool you can think of.

It's ability to spring back and hold it's perfectly pointed tip after you lift the brush from the surface is worth every single penny.

    A modern art painting with a few lines on the canvas, USD2 million; a modern art with a splash of red paint, cool USD15 million. A street artist that actually draws a lifelike portrait of a person, a mere few hundred dollars per painting. Crazy!

    • @frankprank5788
      @frankprank5788 Před 3 lety +9

      Drawing a lifelike portrait of a person aint a incredible skill, basically anyone can learn to paint what looks like a picture. Its much harder to break the barriers and have the tought process to create something truly unique like a few lines on a canvas or a simple splash of red paint. To get to the point to create something like this takes years, decades or even a lifetime (and almost everybody who makes stuff like this can paint perfectly traditionaly). The street artist around the corner just got the basic skill without creating something what expresses his true self or a clear personal vision, thats why his work is only a few hundred dollars and not millions.

    • @iml3ftb3hind1
      @iml3ftb3hind1 Před 3 lety +29

      Let me explain how it works. Millionaire one purchases 5 paintings of an unknown artist for 2 mil dollars. Millionaire 2 purchases another 2 for 10 million. Now millionaire 1 donates his paintings to a museum and gets a tax write off for 10 mil since the artist is now known and his work rises in value. Now millionaire 2 gives his paintings to the museum since there are only 2 owned by a private collection (him) and their value is now doubled. This is why some paintings get sold for this much. The guys that buy them use them to launder money, get tax write offs and keep them as long term investments.

    I'm not interested in brushes at all and have no idea why this was recommended to me. I do however find it extremely fascinating.

    Interesting that you never mentioned chemical extraction. My first chemistry instructor in college was a physical chemist who spent 20 years in Alaska where they used large sealed liners the size of a small town to dissolve gold in soil and crushed rock to pull gold out and then reacted that leachate to precipitate the gold out of solution. Interestingly enough, there is more gold dissolved in the oceans than there is trapped in the earth so probably once we run out of landlocked gold the price will skyrocket which will make it cost effective to start filtering it out of the seas and oceans.

      The picture is definitely all wrong. A vintage bottle of champagne can cost over 1000 dollars, but Armand de Brignac is not vintage and also doesn't cost 1000 dollars. It is not even the most expensive non-vintage champagne any more as CMIII is nowadays much more expensive (and is sold for about 500 dollars). You can get a bottle of Armand do Brignag for 350 dollars easily.

    • @jukka-pekkatuominen4540

      Actually it was mentioned at the very end. Apparently one time Armand de Brignac has cost 1000 dollars, but that was only a few bottles. Those bottles prices were artificially inflated instead of sold normally. A bottle of Krug vintage champagne would have been a much better example as those sell constantly for over 1000 dollars a bottle.

Its great if art makes the creator feel some type of way, but that is literally true for everyone.

      We humans are just horrible to be honest and instead they should hunt them in the ocean, so they are free, until the day they are not, being preyed on. They want it the easest way. Also, diseases florish in animals kept in boxes and being narrowly 'farmed' so they add also antibiotics and other stuff in animals tanks. The same with other farm tanks of fish. And of course, lets not talk about other 'farmed animals' Horrible. They farm animals to death.
      In a way...that is not even nutritious for the one who eats it. You eat expensive fluff and you think you ate something to feed your body for health and nutrition.

      Ahmed El-Mhemadawi art is creation if you make something you’re a artist musicians or visual artist and chiefs. Art can be in different forms. Even if you do scribbles or make bad food or write a shit song that don’t mean it’s not art.

      Art was about killing the need for skill, of vision after the rennaisance, became more allegorical, where the unskilled and untalented with too much money felt threatened by those who could control the masses with their representations of heaven and hell...now we buy and sell un art, art without art in it, its so ironic, its of high value to a mixed up society... a guy from India, living on a dirt floor can become a millionaire on f.b. makin chickens, and turkeys out of his hand tracings, but some one who can do an exact recreation of a Michaelangelo painting is run of the mill...

      It really isn't. A lot of Instagram artists have such bad skill it makes me cringe yet people consider it art. People think some of that crap is beautiful and have millions of likes and gather millions of following. It's the same concept with these. Some of these artists can paint better than anyone and sometimes it represent their life's work condensed. Then there are some modern artist just sit there paint streaks and cant draw a pot for the life of them. It's really naive to say all of them are bad. I painted my profile picture sophomore year of high school, it's not modern art but thats how we all start.

    The thing with the art segment is that contemporary artists should have a large portfolio of traditional art as well. Being a "contemporary artist" is such a subjective term because there is no quantifiable measure for "contemporary art" whereas traditional art does have quite a lot of standards and measures to determine its range of worth.

    • @user-oc3ic4vc7x
      @user-oc3ic4vc7x Před 3 lety +6

      It should not be a requirement to do traditional art. The whole point of modern art is a rejection of societies standards of what art is. Art is subjective, there is no real value to it, the value of art is perceived.

      Your points really resonates to me coz the way the so called contemporary/abstracts artists were even applying the paint (trying to manipulate the brush or trying out random colors, shapes n BS!) n looking like they were juz working-out a frustration really looks like they were hoping the results might bring them big bucks by chance! How the modern art market works n functions in this day is beyond me! I feel it really is a daylight robbery to other true talent based artform especially in terms of price point! I guess man is always the biggest fool in this regard!
      Ps.I understand the original contemporary artists who evolved over time, whose arts sells at a high price after all this time, but noone could convince me that the so-called new-age artists who are trying hard are only here to try n find their luck in a medium they really are not worthy of but juz to find their possible big buck! It's a no brainer! Not a talent juz a laat stop shop for some greedy so-called artists to make a quick big buck!
