Ginger, you are fantastic. I really love your work on the old masters--it shows your true mastery of the art form, and I am learning so much. I have become a huge fan!
Thanks so much and we really appreciate your help with the live lessons too. Just a heads up, we will not be live next week and the following Monday. art hugs from your pals in Texas
Yes! I love this history lesson of the old masters! I want more! I so much appreciate this. No one else teaches like this. Please Ginger give us more of this knowledge. Thank you!
I totally love the colors Chardin used!! He is my type of painter. This was a great lesson and I have learned so much about patterns and light and shadows. This was a terrific teaching!! Thank you.
Ginger you are amazing with color. I would love to see more videos about the old masters and their techniques I am learning so much from you. Thanks to you and Jon.
Ginger, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing it us. Your incredible insights to this artist brought him out in a whole new light, and gave us all information that we can use in our own painting experiences. You made an old artist that might otherwise seem, quite frankly old and dead; appear alive and vibrant. I have never enjoyed learning so much.
Hi Ginger & Jon, THANKS so much for my Art History lesson. I learn so much from you and the touches of humor make it so much more fun! I'm home-schooling my own Art lessons and everyday is something new. Thanks again for bringing this history to us. I never knew how to really study or enjoy the old Dead Guys work! Bring on more :)
Thanks Lisa, we hope to do more of these tutorials on the old masters. here is a link to the one we did on Edgar Degas. th-cam.com/video/UBJZGrGGgQM/w-d-xo.html
This is an amazing video! wOW what a class of information AND free! how blessed we are. Thanks so much for this..Ive painted the fairy/angel which I love and I want to paint the Cozumel flower if it still exists…so beautiful. Ive done 3 of the winter village so far too! so much fun right! Thanks Ginger and Jon
Hi Ginger. I really enjoy your sessions of examining the old masters.... learn so much. Then to give a demo of that artist's techniques and how they do a background etc. is just superb. Thanks for this. We need to do more. This could be like a whole series on TH-cam. Really that good! Thank you.
Thanks Andrew, I am so pleased you liked this. I love looking at the older art because it expands my knowledge and even the use of colors I might have never even considered. These people were the best of the best and still are.
I enjoy the Art History so much !! Ginger I appreciate that you go above and beyond to actually teach us about Art, there is absolutely no one like you. Thank you so much Ginger! BTW... growing up, I had this idea that when you owned a "egg holder"... you had finally arrived in life. :) lol... I always thought they were a representation of class and wealth.
That is so interesting about egg holders.... yet I remember several carved out of wood and some ceramic, some very decorated and other matching china.... Here is the link to one we did on Edgar Degas last year. th-cam.com/video/UBJZGrGGgQM/w-d-xo.html
I watched the tutorial on Edgar Degas last year and loved it. I think I will go back to it today and revisit. I, too, have seen many beautiful egg holders and loved them. We did not have them in my home growing up, but I had many friends that had them. I think I may go out and purchase one for myself today.. ornate... LOL. Have a wonderful day Ginger ! Enjoy next week, see you when you get back. I will be faithfully on the Online Academy, so many things that I want to paint.
Thank you for this lesson Ginger. I learn so much from you as you guide us through the work of the masters. I appreciate it so much as I really can't afford formal classes. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Thank you. We will keep doing the masters videos like this because I think this is the kind of thing no one really thinks about and we do appreciate the positive feedback. A THOUGHT ON CLASSES; Our classes on line are less than a tube of paint a month.....and come with personal art coaching. And because you are spending more time painting it correctly and not wasting paint redoing everything we have found that our on line tutorials are the best way to SAVE money when painting. no kidding. $26.95 a month includes over 300 art tutorials from basic beginner to advanced paintings. Art work you can sell to keep your hobby going.
Such an informative session! I appreciated this blend of art history and discussion of techniques. I've seen some of the painting by Chardin, but I knew next to nothing about him. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, observations, and insights. I would like to see similar videos on other artists.
I absolutely loved this!!! I learned so many things thanks to you Ginger and of course Jon too. Painting is great and tutorials are great ways to learn. But nothing beats learning this way too. Please keep them coming! Big ART Hugs
Very interesting Ginger!!! Really enjoyed this lesson!! Thanks for sharing!! And as usual great fun to listen to you and Jon talking! Gave me a few giggles! :) Artsy hugs!
This is such a great lesson. This has given me an understanding of light value and perspective. I hope there is a way that I can keep this forever for a reference.
Thanks so much Peggy . I am so pleased you enjoyed this lesson . Here is the link for the first one we did on Degas last year.th-cam.com/video/UBJZGrGGgQM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much. I love your comment. You have just won a week at our ACADEMY OF FINE ART AND ACRYLIC PAINTING. www.gingercooklive.gallery and use the contact us. congrats.
I have a cupboard full of egg cups, we have them a lot over here in the UK. My son makes one for his American wife every morning :) And toast soldiers... I will let you work that one out! ;)
I have just bought my daughter in law a soldier egg cup and a cutter that cuts real soldier shapes! She is going to love it. I think I might carry on the theme when I paint her birthday card :D
Hi Ginger, I just wanted to let you know that the keys hanging from the young girls skirt in the Chardin painting was on a chatelaine. It is used by the lady of the house or by the head housekeeper in a more affluent household. The ladies kept tools such as scissors, keys, watches and other useful items needed to maintain the family home. Enjoyed the lesson. Thanks, Nancy Maze
Oh that is so interesting. I really appreciate the added information. awesome. here is a link to a video we did last year on Edgar Degas.th-cam.com/video/UBJZGrGGgQM/w-d-xo.html
Hahaha laughing at Jon about the egg holder.. EVERYONE NEEDS AN EGG HOLDER LOL. we had our soft boiled eggs in holders, and my mum made soldiers to dip in the egg yolk . Will love a soft boiled egg and soldiers lol :-):-)
Lol ginger yes I think its a brit thing. Toasted bread cut into thin strips then line them up they look like soldiers. Then we dip them into your egg yolk.. hehehe :-):-):-)
Ginger Cook yes we did, my grandma used to make this, and she would make hot milk with bread in a big mug and a spoonful of brown sugar on the top. Kept us going all day playing out . Another good one I like was eggy bread also fried up in pan. People will be wondering what we're on about lol.. :-):-)
Ginger, I believe the pouch is filled with strong smells, like rosemary so when they would come across someone with odor or bad breath back in the day, the woman would hold the pouch to her nose as not to b offended by the odor

I have a cupboard full of egg cups, we have them a lot over here in the UK. My son makes one for his American wife every morning :) And toast soldiers... I will let you work that one out! ;)
someone already told me. I think the solder toast things sound fun....
I have just bought my daughter in law a soldier egg cup and a cutter that cuts real soldier shapes! She is going to love it. I think I might carry on the theme when I paint her birthday card :D

Hahaha laughing at Jon about the egg holder.. EVERYONE NEEDS AN EGG HOLDER LOL. we had our soft boiled eggs in holders, and my mum made soldiers to dip in the egg yolk . Will love a soft boiled egg and soldiers lol :-):-)
Ok so what are soldiers? This must be an english thing?
Lol ginger yes I think its a brit thing. Toasted bread cut into thin strips then line them up they look like soldiers. Then we dip them into your egg yolk.. hehehe :-):-):-)
Oh cool. Did you ever cut a hole in bread and put it in a buttered fry pan and but a raw egg in the center and cook it. ??
Ginger Cook yes we did, my grandma used to make this, and she would make hot milk with bread in a big mug and a spoonful of brown sugar on the top. Kept us going all day playing out . Another good one I like was eggy bread also fried up in pan. People will be wondering what we're on about lol.. :-):-)
My Mom was from England and that is one thing we always used was an egg holder for soft boiled eggs. And she served toast. And hot tea.
do I like this ? yes you bet I do!
Glad you liked this. Here is the link to one we did on Edgar Degas last year. th-cam.com/video/UBJZGrGGgQM/w-d-xo.html
I didn't notice the knife until you pointed it out. That means it's subtle I guess.
Is that a Cambridge brush you're using for creating the background?
I use a round brush from Jerrys.... just a stiff acrylic round brush but you can use the edge of a stiff bright acrylic brush too.
Who didn't have egg cups on their breakfast table?? We did...in fact I still have a few around! lol
I know. Jon said he didn't, but we sure did.
in the uk they are called egg cups
Why is the light coming from the left. It looks to be the light is coming from the front. It's the hardest for me.
well in some of his it is left but bottom left corner at an angle as opposed to high left corner.
Ginger, I believe the pouch is filled with strong smells, like rosemary so when they would come across someone with odor or bad breath back in the day, the woman would hold the pouch to her nose as not to b offended by the odor
wow great to know.. awesome
