Painting The Kiss (Lovers) by Klimt

- This video is a fast record of my painting of The Kiss (Lovers) by Gustav Klimt. See below for details about the full length videos, which are for sale.
I used the original painting online at The Belvedere Museum, Vienna, as my source material - along with a high res copy. Every detail is as accurate to the original as I could possibly make it. The painting proportions are not square as the original and it is smaller too. The original is 180cm x 180cm. Mine is 100cm x 80cm. However, the faces are not sanitised as so many copies are, but contain the original yellows and blues, with their wonderful irregular and beautiful features. I am still in two minds about whether they should be so pale - the Belvedere website is as I have made it, but I really need to see the original to be sure - a trip to be made some day! The background is not made up of gold leaf squares (I've seen this done) because it's clear the original is random brush work. I used 22 carat gold leaf where possible. It took several weeks to complete, but it's one of my favourite paintings and I learned a great deal recreating it. It is for sale if you wish to make enquiries.
I have a full length series of 3 videos with this painting in almost real time (speeded up, but only slowly) and I explain exactly what I am doing (materials, techniques) throughout. Please contact me if you would like these - they cost £30 and I can email them direct to you.

This has been my favorite painting since I was very young. I’ve moved into my new home in a small town in Istanbul and I’ve been inspired to paint this on a wall I’ve designated. It’s been over a month and I am terrified. I am frozen to get started. Your video is so exquisite and stunningly done. I wish I could get it maybe halfway as good as you have. ❤❤
Thank so much for your kind remarks and I hope that your painting goes well! I'm sure it will. Spend a lot of time getting the drawing right - you might even be able to project the image onto the wall. If you do project make sure there is no distortion because of camera/projector angle. Best of luck!

So lovely, can you tell me the name of the song? It resonates with the art ♡ love it
Hi - the song is by Masterpiece Music and I think it's called Renaissance. They make music that's free for video makers. I agree with you though, it's really lovely. There is a link in my blurb above if you want to download it.
Amazing!
Thank you
Bravo! ❤
Hi Penny - could I possibly use a short bit of this for my educational video on Klimt I'm making? James
Yes, but please credit where possible.
@@pennycrichton-seager1086 oh gosh of course! I always do credit, and I’ll put a link to your page too. I’ll let you know if I use it - thank you!
@@jamespayne8060 lovely! Thank you!
😍
Beautiful :)
Thank you
Hello, i love your work so much, i have a question, are you selling your painting ?
Thank you. I was not planning to, but feel free to pm me.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yes
Hi Penny! I loved the video and love your work!
I am currently making a copy of the painting! However I am using imitation gold leaf and oil paints, do you have any tips or tricks that you could give me?
Specifically about what kind of varnish / sealers/ or glues to use with imitation gold leaf or if I can paint with oil paints on top of imitation gold leaf. It is a tricky substance and any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
If you use imitation gold leaf (and I did in places too) then you use it just as you would real gold leaf. Paint an area of Size and let it go tacky (5 mins approx) then carefully place your gold on to the area. Leave for a few minutes and then gently brush off the excess gold leaf with a wash brush or similar. I only painted a few small areas at a time and I used folded paper to collect the excess leaf so that I could use that again for tiny places. I do have 3 full length videos of my painting this (total over an hour) which I talk through everything I do and is only slightly speeded up. These are £20 for all 3 if you are interested - I am also going to have a subscription service on my website soon and that will be a couple of pounds a month and free access to over 100 of my video tutorials (including the Klimt), so you might want to wait till then? Anyway, have fun, it's a wonderful piece and a joy to paint. NB I used Golden Open Acrylics, which have the same properties as oils, but are MUCH easier to use! Again, I talk about that in the video.
Forgot to add, I did not varnish it, but you can. If I had I would have used Golden Open Polymer Varnish, but it's in our bedroom on a wall that gets less natural light so it's not necessary.
Amazing!! Did you use varnish? Which varnish do you think is better for this art? ❤
Sorry, I did not see your question. I didn't use varnish, but I do on some of my work. For most, a satin works best, but gloss will always enrichen the colour
Bravo
Thank you
Could you do the faces and skin in oils ( as l think this gives a truer likeness due to the long blending time of oils) then do the rest in acrylics ? Many thanks .
Hi. Actually I use Golden Open Acrylics which have a very long drying time. The Open is the important word to notice as Golden also do a normal range of acrylics. I find the Golden Open are the best things to use as oils really take too long to dry and ordinary acrylics are too quick. The ones I use take a good hour or two to dry, and palettes well covered can last months! So do give them a go. There is no need to mix media.
Thank you . I haven't used acrylics since school and l found them too quick drying but haven't tried this new range, or painted for decades in fact, so why am l thinking of embarking on this one as a first try !? 🤣
Can you tell me what is the name of the thick pen -like embossing agent ( in white ) that you applied before building , please ?
@@carolenmarch7445 hi - not sure what you mean? I used a Pebeo outliner pen, but that was in Gold.
@@pennycrichton-seager1086 Looked like the Polyfiller equivalent of a pen that you could use as a base for relief work, then paint over in gold , or have l imagined it !?😂
how much do you sell, please? I would love to have it....amazing!
If you let me have your email address or facebook, I can pm you.
Einfach wunderschön. Danke für das schöne Werk, schicke mir doch bitte ein bisschen Talent.
nach Interlaken Switzerland. 😘
Vielen Dank! Talent geschickt!
👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰
hi, this is stunning - i’m trying to do something similar and was wondering what materials you’ve used here ? also what did you use u see the gold leaf to make the 3D circles please !! x
Hi. The best thing you can do is buy my 3 videos that give a full and detailed description of everything I do including all the materials from start to finish. It’s £30 for all 3. Go to pennyartist.com and look for videos.
your colouring is wonderful. where did you get the sketch copy in large size ?
Thank you. I went to the Belvedere website and used their high quality image of the original. Then I used my computer to enlarge it (on multiple size A3 sheets) to the size I needed. I then traced the outline lightly and put that on the canvas, then I went back to the original and redrew it, having some guideline for proportion. I prefer this method to gridding, as I like to actually draw it, but each to their own.
@@pennycrichton-seager1086 thank you so much
Fabulous! I've sent you an email. Would like to purchase the longer videos. thanks!
Hi - I've not found your email, but you can buy from here and I will email you all 3 videos at the same time. pennyartist.com/products?keywords=how+to+paint+like+klimt
Hi, are these 3 videos the tutor video for The Kiss or general Klimt technique ?@@pennycrichton-seager1086
Hi @@TrangNguyen159 the videos are specifically to help you choose the right colours and techniques for this painting. So I suppose it helps if you want to learn how to paint like Klimt too.
Hello, I just buy one video and already made payment. How can I get the video?@@pennycrichton-seager1086
Hey could you please share with me your email to buy tutorial for this painting.
Certainly, it's penny@crichton-seager.com
You can now buy directly from my web page: pennyartist.com/
Poco didactico
I really hope so. I want to help everyone to paint this if they want to and I love to teach.
