    I love how he got so scared when he started "drawing" with the black paint haha. Black is such a terrifying color to work with sometimes, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

    Then I watched your video. Much better!

    The vibrations you continually refer to are the result of Van Gogh placing contrasting pieces of paint next to each other and is arguably the essence of his genius.

    Quite a lot of strong feeling. I think Vincent may be pleased that so many still appreciate his work.

    I really like the painting but I feel like Van Gogh had a distinctive brush stroke. It does look similar to Van Gogh but even in the faces he had some sort of swirly brushstroke. He was a strange person.

    Just so you know, the fabric for potato and flour sacks in the 1880's was a little more refined than what we think of as burlap today. There are suppliers who sell a very very close if not exact copy, but you'll need to stretch them yourself. I must say, your tutorial was quite good.

    I truly enjoyed your video---awesome work !~ Van Gogh was NOT a Fauvist, however; he inspired the development of the Fauvist movement with his use of bright and pure color. I've never seen him referred to as a Fauvist, but a Post-Impressionist, which is the school Van Gogh painted in. In his early years he knocked back color with darks but as time went by he did much less of that, opting for brilliant color, which is what mesmerized Matisse. Henri Matisse was the founder of Fauvism and did so after being inspired by Van Gogh's work as well as a few others. If you're going to invoke the Great Masters, please do get the Art History correct. Not trying to be a snot, just feel a gift of his magnitude deserves to have his story referred to factually. He inspired that movement; he was not a Fauvist but a Post-Impressionist. Here's a respected link for you to research for yourself: www.britannica.com/art/Fauvism P.S.---your followers who'd like to have more texture in their 'squiggly lines' can use Impasto Gel with impressive results. Best Regards to you and wishing you much success~

  • @Crashoverall
    @Crashoverall Před 8 lety +5

    sometimes i think the impasto technique was used to hurry things up a little bit.
    I know its not the only reason but come on, mixing paint directly on the canvas is the fastest way to get an insane amount of paint to the canvas.
    It takes too many strokes to build it up slowly.

  • @rexmundi2237
    @rexmundi2237 Před 8 lety +7

    Early in his career Vincent simply liked drawing far more than painting. He thought black and white more expressive and "serious" than colour, plus paint materials were too expensive for someone who had so much trouble just feeding himself. Wasn't until the last few years of his life that he fully appreciated Impressionism.

      Did you let the background color dry first? I watched this tutorial and bought oil paints (only prior work was in acrylics) painted my canvas a 'burlap' color and attempted to 'draw' my lines with paint as you did and only managed to muddle the colors. Thanks in advance, beautiful work.

  • @ethancanin
    @ethancanin Před 8 lety +3

    I'd get some burlap, and the passion he painted with. The end result is not close to Vincent. Nice, but too controlled and lacking the emotion. Fun to see someone try, but get back to us when you get a little looser in you technique.

  • @renzo6490
    @renzo6490 Před 7 lety +1

    I'm questioning why you put a brown base to the painting.You say that van Gogh painted on burlap which can be a dark brown color, yes .But wouldn't he have covered that fabric with white gesso? I suspect he did ! If so, he painted on a white surface unless he added color
    to his gesso. Your purple is muddy because you're using Cadmium red, which contains yellow. A bluish red like alizarin crimson mixed with your ultramarine blue (which contains red ) would make a fine purple.

    • @muppetmaster04
      @muppetmaster04 Před 7 lety +1

      Gerald Greenblatt I have seen his art and he painted straight on to the brown/ocre burlap. gesso would have been to expensive for him and he would have mentioned it to theo at least once.

    • @renzo6490
      @renzo6490 Před 7 lety +4

      Gesso is applied to prevent the oils in the paint from coming in contact with the raw cloth because those oils will, in time, rot the material.If van Gogh painted directly on raw burlap 125 years ago, we would see that rotting process in evidence on his paintings.
      I found this information here:
      www.artistsandillustrators.co.uk/how-to/oil-painting/984/how-to-use-colour-like-van-gogh
      (“You’ll ask - please - père Tasset or père Lhote the lowest price for 10 metres of his primed or absorbent canvas,” van Gogh states in one of his letters to Theo.
      He liked to use finely woven linen on wooden stretchers, sized and then primed with Lead White, chalk and barium sulphate. The white ground was usually tinted using small amounts of pigment - Yellow Ochre, Carmine and a touch of Yellow gave a characteristic pink tint here. )
      And this from Wikipedia:
      The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, executed on a privately primed Toile de 30 piece of burlap in early November 1888.
      Finally from the Sotheby website referring to van Gogh's painting L'ALLÉE DES ALYSCAMPS:
      Van Gogh described the support on which he painted to be "burlap," but recent scholarship suggests that it is actually rough jute. He and Gauguin had purchased this material in bulk and primed themselves, and Van Gogh used it for the first time for this picture.
