a Short Guide to Planar Structure

We discuss planes and planar structure as it relates to drawing and painting. How an object's planes are oriented and recorded in an image determine how it relates to the space it occupies as well as the fundamentals of its volume. Euan Uglow, Lucian Freud, and Vincent VanGogh are a few of the artists featured in the discussion.

Some of the best commentary online by a fellow artist, & of course superb work, thank you 👍

Thanks Alan, for the kind words. I've given this talk so many times, now that it's a video I'm freed up to think about even more inane subjects.

I'm a bit late but is it possible to name every artist you used as reference for this video?

[@shamback7575]

Sure, the first 5 paintings are by Euan Uglow. The 6 drawings are by me. After the drawings, there's a painting by Lucian Freud and then three by Vincent VanGogh. The last is the famous portrait of Pope Innocent X by Diego Velazquez. I should have included something by Rembrandt to show how uncompromising he was with his information, but I didn't want the video to be too long. Thanks for watching!

@@shamback7575 can you do a video of Rembrandt?

[@shamback7575]

@@drpg11 I'm not in video production mode at the moment, but when I get a chance I'd love to do something on the Great One.

Jordan Peterson, is that you??

[@shamback7575]

Ha! You must be referring to the part about about abstraction being more real than real. Thanks for watching!

@@shamback7575 your voice gave me a similar impression just in the beginning, and maybe few other spots. Great vid
