The GOLDEN RATIO has been around for thousands of years. No one is really certain just who discovered it first. We do know the ancient Greeks used it throughout their art and architecture. The Ratio had a revival in the renaissance and this mathematical concept is a great way that artists today can improve their compositions and create PERFECT VISUAL HARMONY!

The artist is sharing HIS technique with us... why the HELL would anyone dislike the video????
Jealousy!!
His work is gold 🌟
Lol wait... They just couldn't understand the math and for too bored too absorbe the genius 😅 bunch of slow pokes
There are plenty of people who dislike living, so it's pretty understandable there are people miserable and pathetic enough to dislike someone else's creativity and happiness.
BecUase they are between eight and twelve and cranky
i'm a dentist.
I design smiles; working with lab techs to make veneers for upper front teeth.
I will implement this idea of the golden proportions to my work.
When I was in dental school, I also came across this ratio in teeth, but I didn't understand where the ratio came from. Now I know.
MIND BLOWN! Phufffffff!!!!!
OMG. I told you in a previous post that I am in college for Drawing. They taught me what the golden ratio was, but did not tell us how to actually use it within your art. Thank you so much. I've watched 2 of your videos and have already learned more that the entire year in school. Thank you so much. I will start using the golden ratio in everything I do.
That is awesome!
Thankfully we don't have to rely on institutions for knowledge anymore!
Andrew: " I don't know about you, but for me, it 'works' "
Me picking my jaw from the floor : "Are you sure it's a painting??"
I've known about the Golden Ratio for decades but I've never heard it described in such a clear way. Kudos. BTW, looking forward to learning how to make your handy ratio tool. Thank you for yet another awesome insight.
I knew about the Golden Ratio from photography. Seems that I forget about it when I paint though.
I think we just need a new series on this channel called "The Great Chalkboardventure" with you just teaching us stuff at the chalkboard each week. This is fascinating and super helpful, thank you so much for doing it.
Ryan Noel 👏👏👏
Absolutely agree!!
Great explanation! We also all come equiped with our own proportional divider. Stretch out your thumb and first two fingers (like the peace sign +thumb) and you've got yourself a 1:1.618 (roughly) porpotional divider. At 5'9" my first two fingers measure 8 cm apart, and my thumb to first finger measure 13cm, so there's that number series, too!
I'm literally amazed by my thumb and fingers right now.
wowwwww
STOP freaking me out! I got it! Jeez!
Beautiful explanation.... fantastic...
Amazing!
Also known as "God's fingerprint". By the way, your work is BEAUTIFUL!!!
@@DrWhom What is "nonsense"?
Absolutely!
Funny thing about it is it follows suite with us living in a simulation too. Simply coding being repeated in everything.
Yes, shows you there is a Creator/Designer of everything in nature and universe.
Why God....? Just Numbers
Andrew, you have to be watched by the Health Authority. Your enthusiasm and teaching style are
contagious.
15:30 "I don't know about you...but, for me, this works." No kidding! That painting is AMAZING. I love your understatement.
Crazy how intuitive this is. I just analyzed my most recent sketch, and bam, the horizon is exactly on the ratio.
Another excellent tutorial, well presented, your excitement is infectious. I have ADHD, the times I have had tutorials on the golden section, it never really clicked beyond a basic '2/5 x 3/5'. It has fully 'clicked' now, Thanks again.
I just began taking a beginners painting class at a local School of Arts. The instructor was explaining the Golden Rule but I couldn't grasp the concept. After watching your video, I had a epiphany! It's amazing when you look upon nature to see that we indeed live in an orderly world! Thanks for the informative video.
This is a wonderful demonstration of how and why the golden ratio is so pleasing to the eye. I'm not an artist but a photographer; composition is so important whether the viewer realizes it or not. I'll utilize these ideas when composing future images. I now see why some of them "miss the mark." Thanks.
Mind blown. I think what makes this and your other videos so compelling is your excitement at discovery. I pray you never lose that sense of wonder. You are a wonderful teacher, not so much because you are teaching, but because you are sharing your wonder at what you have found. That is what makes great teachers. And your painting shows such skill because you are not striving for "good enough", but for perfection. Thank you!!
I have been confused and totally dumbfounded by the examples and write ups about the Golden Ratio. The spiral, and the other divisions. You are a beautiful teacher and I really loved watching this. In fact I wish my partner could see this video. He's not an artist but he loves maths and he's also a musician which also in some regards uses maths. Thank you for explaining this better than anyone else has, the visualisation, words and enthusiasm are fantastic. Also your painting is near daunting. It has a lot of power in that one Tisch. I feel this one is dramatic, powerful...it is the same feeling you get when you look out or up at a scene in the world, like a mountain range and realize how small and insignificant you are.. Which is a strange feeling. It's beautifully devastating. 👏
I have been learning Painting from You tube for almost 7 years now and these 18 Minutes have been more useful then all those years combined. You are a Jem Andrew and I am Lucky to have found you on You tube..!
Thank you Andrew, this is by far the best explanation for the golden ratio I've ever seen.
I would be very interested in the tutorial for make that caliber, it seems very useful. :)
I would like a tutorial for making the caliper, too, please :-)
And me!
And me
Me as well.
Me, too!
Finally, someone talking sense about art and breaking down these ratios in a language I can understand.
This is the only video I have seen which gives such an excellent explanation of how to actually use these measurements in your own artwork. Just brilliant, Andrew. Thank you🥰
Your work, both on canvas and your teaching skills in this videos are 100% amazing! Thank you for sharing this!
So interesting. I am now wandering around my house with a tape measure. Just brilliant. Thank you
I have been planning my future house to a centimeter, considering the ideal set-up as per feng-shui and what "bad" energy flow nonsense to omit and how to create the harmonious flow through the house, and here I am - writing down the Golden ratio to go through the whole house plan and measure it all. :D
That painting blows my mind. It looks like a photo as does most of your landscapes.
I'd love to learn how to make the golden ratio tool. I am dyslectic and I was never quite able to comprehend how to utilize the golden ratio, so I've always stuck to the rule of thirds. You explained the golden ratio so well that for the first time I understood. Thank you so much.
Exactly what I needed. Is there anyway we can bring some value to you my man? You are absolutely best art teacher on CZcams!
Luka Vujic I love that you asked that. You don’t see many offers of reciprocity in these kinds of videos. Not that I believes others wouldn’t. I’m certain many would, and do try and pay it forward. But I think it’s very kind of you to genuinely ask him.
Blessings to you.
indeed, he's a master of our time. this is the best explanation of the golden ratio i've seen
I've been forcing the ratio into my paintings instead of using the size of the canvas. Using the ratio to determine the size and distance of each main object within the comp. Honestly never thought of dividing up the canvas itself. Awesome!
The etching he shows: the tree is curved to insinuate the golden ratio curve too…. Beautiful
Great explanation! Looking fwd to learning how you made that golden compass!
Just when I wanted to improve my compositions, excellent timing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I’m gonna use this in an oil painting video soon. the video was way more elaborate than the books I’ve read. Amazing video! Amazing teaching! Amazing information!
Your description makes perfect sense! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
I used this method unintentionally in a painting of an alleyway that was somehow spot on. Once I analyzed it, there were golden ratios happening everywhere. Thanks for sharing this.
Excellent, excellent Break Down. Best explanation of the Golden Ratio I’ve yet to see. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Wow! I really learned a lot from this video. I have taken many painting classes and was never told about the golden ratio. You explained it in a way that is very "understandable". Also, your painting is absolutely magnificent.
Great video, Andrew! Your passion and enthusiasm for art is contagious. Thanks for a very clear teaching on the Golden Ratio. Just when I was needing a video on composition, here you are to deliver!
Love your work Andrew Thank you for sharing
I am so very glad to see you teaching this magnificent principle. I have been teaching this to my students in the studio and in workshops that I teach for several years. I like the way you have applied the golden Ratio to random rectangles. But have you yet explored the related wonders of the “Root Rectangles?” By the way, you have a great guy named Nick Taylor that makes an incredible set of golden ratio calipers in metal.
I will look into root rectangles! Sounds intriguing! I will also look up Nick Taylor. I could use some sturdier callipers!
Wow, I love it!
I can’t wait to try on my next one.
I hope you teach us how to build that ruler...
Thank you Andrew, you’re the best!
I've been looking for this for a long time now. Cant wait to try it. Thank you🙏🏾
Listening to you and watching the draw on the board about the Golden Ratio I could perfectly pictured one of your paintings, The Winter Landscape you did a wonderful tutorial? The mist, the trees and the sheep...and say that´s a perfect Golden Ratio. Thank you so much for your generosity sharing with us, for your enthusiasm that is contagious.
Andrew, you are such a natural! That was just the best explanation ever! I have been using this ratio in my composition for years and I teach it too, but I had to show my students your video because you did that so well! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing how to make that tool! Loving your podcasts too, Andrew. Thank you, thank you thank you!
I've heard of the golden ratio, however, it boggled my mind with the appropriate way to apply it. Here, you've made it really simple to understand! Thanks!
Thank you! Beautiful painting
All of your work is exquisite!
Andrew this is really cool. I actually never really got into the golden ratio, I might think about it more. Your new landscape is really also quite incredible. I would love to see a video on how you tackled atmospheric effects like god rays, and mist.
This was crazy helpful! I’ve never understood the meaning or application of the golden ratio before. Thanks Andrew!
Love love love your video! So useful and well done!
Thank you for sharing this! Plus I LOVE your work!
Great video andrew😀 being someone who loves art but hates math the connection can’t be denied or ignored. Thanks for showing us this
Very useful information. I was already digging these numbers for years now, Davinci, Michael Angelo and Rafaelo have them a lot in their works.
As I got involved in studying Pythagoras' philosophy. they show up in my paintings as well , but after a point I do not go for them, these analogies or close approximations just appear there in my paintings usually.
That tool is actually very very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Andrew! Fascinating plus a stunning painting!
Best explanation ever! I love how that tool works and how you described where to drop those harmonic feeling lines! Wonderful painting too! The light through the clouds is masterfully done!
Thank you very much for the explanation. Although this video is about painting, as a newbie photographer, I find this video explains a lot about compositional lessons that also applies in photography as well. This makes me realize and understand the importance of the rule of thirds, not just following those lines simply because everyone else told me to do so.
I’m an engineer and into mathematics. I knew some of this, but there’s a lot that’s brand new to me. Thank you for this excellent video. It’s great.
That was fantastic! Thanks Andrew.
That golden ratio is amazing! I don't recall ever hearing of that before. The way that you explained it, along with the examples of it's use made it really exciting! I can't wait to try it out! Thank you so much!
Andrew, TFS such a clear, concise explanation of the golden ratio with your usual enthusiasm & passion! I always love the fusion of arts & higher math, and while no longer a painter, can now apply the golden ratio to crochet, cross stitch and beaded jewelry designs by intention as well as instinct :-D
Update: I recently crocheted a striped Corner-to-Corner (C2C) baby blanket in 3 colors. But instead of doing a more traditional repeat of equal width stripes, I did stripes based on the Golden Ratio. The baby's mom and her family adore the blanket and repeatedly comment how beautiful it is. Apparently, the Golden Ratio stripes really elevate an otherwise very simple C2C pattern. 😀👍
Hi very well explained thank you. Looking forward to learning how you made the ratio calipers 😊
Outstanding explanation! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful plein air session. Love your style and delivery. Learned a lot. Thank you.
You inspire me to be a better artist and a better teacher. Thank you for validating classical painting and drawing techniques with your own painting examples. Your newly completed landscape painting is amazing; absolutely stunning. Who can argue with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"
This video clearly defines the golden ratio and absolutely exemplifies how to teach it as a foundation in visual composition. As always, your videos are valuable beyond compare.
Thank you, Andrew!
Thank you so much Rebecca! I really appreciate your comment. :)
God: I have created the heavens and the earth to create mystery and magic for all mankind.
Andrew: Hold my brush, imma make a tool for that.
🤟😁
lol
I've never heard it explained better, and by a most talented artist. Beautiful work...simply beautiful!
Well explained. Thank you Andrew.
Great job, please do a video on making the caliber
Awesome explanation Andrew, I have heard of this before however never thought to use it, just usually divide up into thirds. Will definitely give this a try. Now most paintings that use this method size the canvas first for golden rule too which also looks a different ratio than normal. Thanks Andrew.🤯
Yes, some use a golden ratio from the outset, but this can be applied to any rectangle! Cheers for the comment Leigh! Always a pleasure mate.
Loved, loved this video❣️
Absolutely fascinating. Many thanks!
You are definitely the painting instructor for people who are already painters! I love all of your videos I’ve seen so far! I thought I was a good painter.. but I know that your teaching will make me better!
Anyone painting is a "painter". What you qualify yourself as being, is relative to how you frame your perception of yourself, but how good you think you are, doesn't necessarily make you "already a painter".
Oh my goodness, Andrew, thank you for a really fascinating video! Wow did I learn something and got as excited as you! You are a born natural in front of the camera - excellent job teaching and I should have started with HOLY COW, WHAT A MAGNIFICENT PAINTING!!!! Thank you for your time/effort/expense/Rachel......Team Tisch all the way!
Cheers Angela! I like that: "Team Tisch". We should get T-shirts made... too much? haha!
Count me in, Andrew, first in line for those t-shirts!!😉
This is one of my favorite videos on CZcams, thank you so much for sharing!
This has to be one of the most informative videos I've ever watched. Thank you Andrew.
Hmmm I was studying and drawing sacred geometry shapes, and learning about the Fibonacci sequence, the flower of life and Phi, I stopped for a moment to check my email and there was your video about .... the Golden Ratio.... interesting coincidence !
Andrew Ji( an Indian way of respect, like " Sir") a countless thanks to you for always inciting the goodness of art and being a HUGE inspiration to thousands... especially when we are down and nearly gave up. Can't ever thank you enough for your big heart🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for all this knowledge !
Love for you to do a video on the ratio tool. Thank you for this vital information.
Andrew, not only are you a masterful artist, but also just as masterful a teacher. I love your videos and your artwork. I have learned so much from you. Thank you!
Please please how can we make one of those golden ratio measuring device? It’s fabulous! Thank you for sharing 😃
Mind blown! Thank you!
What a great video. Perfect explanation Andrew, and that painting on Milford sound is stunning.
Golden ratios should be thought of as a suggestion and not a "secret" or "rule". Remember, any and all compositions are subjective.
Thank You! It is a very interesting technique, I will try it out. I have also heard about a theory knows as the "dynamic symmetry" - I don't know if you knew, although if you didn't, you seem to be doing well without it, but in case you would like to know more, there is an old book by Michel Jacobs floating somewhere in the internet. Also there is a photographer on youtube who uses this dynamic symmetry, Tavis Leaf Glover.
Hey great stuff, I will look into that!
Thanks, I'll check those out.
Superb Andrew, THANK YOU.
I remember watching a program about the golden ratio years ago. But your explanation was clearer and easier to understand. Thank you!
Great video, Andrew! And yes, Fibonacci tells it all. Lots of thanks for reminding me!
Is that a new Italian vegtabile?
@@norskviking9410 Neither new, nor a vegetable: an Italian mathematician who lived about 800 yrs ago.
I knew of the Golden Ratio and the 5/8ths rule. Nevertheless, I really loved how Andrew elaborates on it with respect to composition. I did not know about using the secondary lines. Very helpful. What about portraits though? Lastly, I love those calipers! Share your secret or even better, market them and make some money (I'll buy them)! PS on a side note, I have signed up for SkillShare and find it quite useful AND I have begun to play around with the CMYK color palette and am loving the intensity and beauty of the colors. Thank You.
Cheers Robert! I think I'll go ahead and make a video explaining how to make the callipers for free. That way everyone will have access to them. Lot of requests! Glad you enjoy Skillshare, me too! Lots to learn, makes me want to live a few lives just to get it all done!
@@AndrewTischlerArt I, too, would be interested in how this works for portraits.... must pull out my Sergeant books ;)
@@AndrewTischlerArt have you made a video explaining how to make them yet?
Brother your videos are all on a whole new level! Loving all the new teachings, thankyou!
Love the clear way you use to explain how it works! very practical indeed, thanks a million!
I know I have used this superficially on my basic set up when composing my paintings overlaying in photoshop the golden rectangle image. But you have taken this to another level for me and now chomping at the bit. I did a painting which was square and found that for the composition to work I had to place the subject in the centre which threw out the asymmetric format how would you tackle this in your work? Cheers bonny lad Rob
Hey Rob, I might have to do a follow up. Currently I am using the centreline for my composition in a commissioned work. Sometimes there is no way around it. Remember, this is only for asymmetrical balance. Sometimes symmetry about the centre is okay!
I love how you showed a lot of examples of the golden ratio being used. Your painting is incredible!!!
Your passion for painting and knowledge just shows through so beautifully.. And it's even more beautiful that you share it with all of us! 💛🙏✨
Great video Andrew, thank you so much for sharing
Great video Andrew!
Evidence of God’s design in nature Rom 1. “Mathematics is the language by which God created the universe” -Galileo
I first discovered the golden ratio years ago watching an old Disney classic titled, “Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land”
How do you make that golden ratio measuring tool? I don't see it in any of your videos.
Theres free plans online. That's where I got my plans. Just look up golden ratio calipers
Simple and clearly elucidated explanation of the golden prinicple - your videos are always so helpful and well produced.
Absolutely incredible! Love it! Thank you once again for all of your advice and teachings. I learn so much from you! Can't wait to make my Golden ration calipers!
1:1.618 is the signature of The Creator. ...a calling card of sorts.
Golden rule of grammar school: NEVER draw an 8 like a snowman 😂😂
I have seen many videos on Golden Ratio but havent got any which explain well about its practical use in painting. Andrew, you have done it so beautifully.🔥♥️💯
Mind blown! Thank you for enlightening me!!
