Thank you very much! I used to strive for almost photorealism in watercolor and was always disappointed. My attitude change when my teacher told me that the beauty of watercolor lies in the imperfections the pigments create. It changed my view completely.
Greetings! I was doing a little TH-cam research on a stunning, innovative painter whose name i had never even heard and now here I am in your lovely channel. I literally read the name Klimt for the first time about 20 minutes ago when I was compelled to look up the intro sequence for an anime series I enjoyed as a kid and discovered whose work the uncharacteristically western paintings were inspired by. The series is called Elfen Lied and is not family friendly by any means but they really thought outside the box for the opening credits: the supernatural characters from the story are imposed in classic anime style directly into some of Klimt's most famous and evocative paintings, while the score is a truly moving operatic piece called Lilium. I'm sure there are many who were put off by it at the time, probably 20 to 30 years ago by now, and might've accused the creators of distastefully borrowing from a beloved European artist, but thanks to your lovely intro, I now know that his iconic style was originally inspired in part by Japanese art! God I miss learning things. I'll definitely be around for more nuggets of wisdom and good vibes!
Hi Frankie!! That’s cool! I didn’t know about Ellen Lied, but their opening credits are definitely interesting and aesthetically stunning! And yes: Gustav Klimt was definitely part of the “Japonisme” movement, of European artists influenced by the patterns and colors of Japanese art. So, looks like the anime went full circle? 😋
@@mygeekfamilycotton indeed! I watched it a few more times and confirmed that the singer is performing in Latin. So, a modern Japanese animated series with an intro that pays homage to a Bohemian painter who was himself inspired by traditional Japanese paints and prints, all to the tune of what sounds like a Roman Catholic hymn of anguish in the original tongue. Sounds about right for a series about genetic mutant elf sisters that dismember each other with psychic ghost arms.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the difficulty of attempting Samuel Palmer! I just love all that intricacy of pattern. Will try to source the pretty tape in the UK where I live. 😊
Awesome, as usual! There are so many painters you’ll be busy for some time (I hope). Interestingly, just recently (at my office) we were just talking about Norman Rockwell, an American artist whose paintings centered on American culture (mostly of the first half of the 20th century), with several depicting people in medical based offices. Maybe you will consider adding him to your video queue.
Thanks! I do love Norman Rockwell! I visited an exhibition of his works some 25 years ago in Japan (of all places!) and still have vivid memories of it. Will bump him a few notches up in the pile! Cheers
Amazing video! I am doing an assignment where we have to replicate some famous paintings and I chose Klimts Danaë. Feeling stuck I searched youtube for tips and am so glad I found your channel. The end result is great and you son did a great job modeling 👏 👏
Hi. Thank you for sharing your talent. I would like to know how you transfer the image from the picture to become a sketch in the canvas (4:35).It is not very clear to me. Thanks.
Thank you very much! There are several techniques to report a sketch/picture (can do a grid, a backlight if your paper is not too thick, etc…), but in this precise case, it looks like I simply used carbon paper. If you don’t have, you can blacken the back of your picture/sketch with a charcoal/pencil! Hope this helps!
I enjoyed your video and would love to incorporate metallics into landscapes so will try that. Would also love to paint like Samuel Palmer. Any ideas? Also - where do you buy your pretty masking tape please!
Hi Christie! Thanks a lot! Samuel Palmer will not be easy, but… I’ll see what I can do! And, for the masking tape, I bought it in Daiso, the Japanese equivalent of the Dollar Store… these stores usually have plenty of small things we can use for painting/arts/crafts, so… 😋 cheers!
Gustav Klimt is another of my favourites. Now, do I try your Seurat first, or this one? Or maybe I'll try and combine them slightly. I'll figure it out. Thanks for another awesome video.
I dont understand the materials used in the underpainting. Is that watercolor? What is the golden paint? And the patterns are painted in achrylics or in gouache? Could you list the materials used? Thanks
Hello! Yes, the underpainting is done in watercolor (as are the flesh tones), the gold is acrylic paints, and the colourful patterns in gouache. Hope this helps!
Thanks for watching! He is on my list! Not sure when though… I do a video per month (more or less) because they need a lot of preparation… but stay tuned! 😋
No, not all I will be back, I have had a few people tell me that one of my paintings remind them of klimt , I thought that was a good thing especially since I am just starting out
Je ne comprends pas. Pourquoi en anglais ? Vous êtes visiblement français vu l'accent ? Ya pas que les anglophones qui veulent apprendre la peinture 😉... Cela dit vous parler très bien anglais. Mais, peut-être avez-vous un site Utube en francais ?
Bonjour Emma, merci pour votre message! Oui, je suis français, mais je vis en Asie depuis 25 ans (Japon, puis Philippines et maintenant Singapour). Je parle donc en anglais plus souvent que je ne parle français.
Ah. Merci de votre réponse. Heureusement, je comprends bien l'anglais. Je ne connais pas ces pays et je ne pense pas avoir maintenant assez d'argent et de temps pour les visiter. Merci pour vos vidéos.
Hi Romain! My son modelled for this painting. I have made a few videos about Van Gogh (one in watercolor+gouache and one in acrylics). I am sure you’ll find them on my “painting” playlist. Thanks and have a good day!
Excellent! You are an awesome instructor. Thanks
Thanks a lot Christina!
My mum loves Klimt so I wanted to make her a painting for her birthday. This video is so helpful, thank you!
Thanks Amy! Happy I could help!
This channel is quite a heaven on earth
Hahaha thank you very much!
He is beautiful. I wish I could paint with watercolors but they're my biggest weakness as an artist. This painting you did is absolutely stunning!
Thank you very much! I used to strive for almost photorealism in watercolor and was always disappointed. My attitude change when my teacher told me that the beauty of watercolor lies in the imperfections the pigments create. It changed my view completely.
great video, thanks for explaining it so well and demonstrating it simply and easy to understand
Thanks for watching!
This is absolutely stunning ❤❤❤

You're awesome, talented, well-taught and very funny/friendly. thank you so much for this video

hi, can you demo how to paint "faintly" with the marvelous brushstroke & use of color in Klimt - Schubert at the Piano II c.1899
Wow! Thank you for you time. I love your video
Thanks!

I may have missed it, but once you lay down the gold paint you were using acrylic over it? Was a gouache?
Hi Rebecca! It’s true that I didn’t say… sorry! I used gouache, but honestly, both would work
Awesome Sir
Thanks for watching!
pretty cool nice video 👍👍
Merci Romain!
Would you do SOROLLA? PRETTY PLEASE??
Hi Jackie! Thanks for dropping by! I will see what I can do!
Love to see Tom Thomson of Canada.
Nice! Will see what I can do! Thanks for watching
Can you do William Morris?
Now that is an interesting and intricate style! I’ll keep it in mind!
Awesome🤩
Thanks a lot!
I would love a fauvist "wild beast" Mastisse episode if you havent already.
Hi Kittylitteral! Thanks for watching! Yes! Matisse is in my to-do list! 😋
Do you think you could do a video Francis Bacon?
Hi Katherine! Yeah, it is certainly part of the (already Long) list… a bit of patience! Thanks for watching!
Can you do a Alphonse Mucha painting?
Thanks for watching! He is on my list! Not sure when though… I do a video per month (more or less) because they need a lot of preparation… but stay tuned! 😋
nice

Yeah, I might! Thanks for the request
Could you do a painting like Siqueiros? Thanks in advance
Not sure my wife would let me paint a mural! 😂 but his style is interesting indeed… maybe!
Are you related in any way?
@@mygeekfamilycotton LOL
@@mygeekfamilycotton Yes, he's a distant relative. All Siqueiros are somehow related
😮🎉
Subscribing ❤

Can you paint like Gustav Klimt?

Haha, great!
Ces vidéos sont absurdes. Quand on peint comme un peintre connu, on a l'air bête.
