It is always a pleasure to see you and watch your wonderful demonstrations. Your historical comments are quite appreciated. I often wondered if the old masters like Leonardo or Michelangelo were really satisfied with all their paintings even at later stages of their careers. For us they were great.
Thank you, Édouard! Yes, I wonder also! 😂 it is known that some paintings have been worked over and over, along the years, apparently to achieve the initial vision of the artist, but I am not sure they really had paintings they “hated” afterwards… I will research and it might be a future episode of “Museum mysteries”😋
J'aime beaucoup rothko et j'ai entendu dire qu'il gardait secret sa façon d'obtenir ses couleurs qui donnent tant d'émotions. Votre technique me plait et me donne envie de l'essayer.....je m'abonne pour profiter de vos conseils....de paris, je vous remercie.
@@ReineDujardin merci beaucoup, Reine! Oui, les couleurs de Rothko sont très complexes. J’ai fait la démo avec des couleurs quasi-pures mais il faisait aussi très souvent des mélanges pour donner plus de complexité. N’hésitez pas à jouer sur les tons!
Check out his “paintings on paper” in the exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. They are smaller than his usual color field paintings - maybe 40”x50” - but still pack a powerful emotional wallop. There is a book about the exhibit, but, like most of his work, you have to see it in person to have the full experience.
I really enjoyed this, partly because you are pretty funny with your interpretations of famous people, but also because you give a demonstration that makes sense. I have been thinking of emulating Rothko's later work - rectangles and color and borders - just to have that experience. Mine will be not as big as his though!
Thank you! Rothko was making very big paintings because he wanted people to really immerse in them. But, to try the technique, you can use any format! Cheers
I do love Rothko’s work dearly and am not fussed if there are others who differ. It is, of course, about the personal experience. The video gave me what I was looking for… the technical application and more. I am glad you used acrylic as that is my medium of choice at the moment. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, Mark! Rothko’s work was, of course more complicated than what I did in the video, but it was a good way to explore the textures that can come out of multiple washes. Glad you liked it!
hello! no, not yet, but it is in the works! I will ask you a bit a patience because I want to show how a camera obscura works, etc... thanks for watching!
You have explained this process meticulously.It’s more than simply making two blocks of colour.It’s still not my scene though. I’m sure we could knock a couple of dozen Rothko’s out no problem.😂Thanks for doing this entertaining video for us. 😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a fantastic video, I'm delighted I found it and looking forward to more
Thanks a lot! There are already quite a few style guides like this one on my channel. Please feel free to browse them all! 😋 cheers

“The act of creation is too serious to be left to the professionals” is just… wow I really needed to hear that
😄😋

This was fantastic!! Thank you!!
@@jayumble8390 thank you for watching !
I think the impact of Rothko is down to his paintings' sheer scale. It is difficult to induce the same emotions with something less.
Indeed, this was just an exercise to demonstrate the effects of multiple washes.

Bon jour.. Monfriar
Have you done Vermeer? Would like to see something there

I have seen Rothko’s paintings in the national Gallery in London. I’m afraid that as hard as I looked I didn’t get the point.
Rothkos are designed to be experienced without trying to figure it out. No narrative so to speak. Definitely a different approach to art.
It's because you are not educated enough 😂
bad tutorial
Paint like Rothko in one easy step. Step one = Be a 6 year old
I would like to see you paint like Arshile Gorky.
Ah! Gorky! Let me study a bit and I’ll come back to you!
