Josef Albers Interaction of Color - Op art and relative color

- Josef Albers is known for his endless study and teaching of Interaction of Color. We think we know what we see but color can change each other. Josef Albers is the man to tell you otherwise. In his book Interaction of Color, Josef Albers explains, but especially gives you exercises and tells you the only way to learn is to do. With his series of paintings Homage to the square and his optical illusions he is put into the art movement Op Art or Optical Art. When you look at his paintings I can understand but you also miss the point because he is telling you how it works to get you thinking instead of tricking you. Of course I make my imperfect paintings of his artwork, but it was very rewarding. Enjoy.

Materials
The art materials I use in the videos are not sponsored.
I prefer to work on multi-purpose paper, more info in this video: • How to choose the RIGH...
In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video.
Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.

Honestly, the way you explained this exercise that i had to do for my art school assignment is magnificent. There is so much love for colors here and I love the music. You rock!
Hi Nilufar, thanks, I love to hear this. Love for colors, even though not understanding at first perhaps, is really understood with these wonderful exercises. Ones you get it you can dive deeper. Keep painting, stay safe and have a happy day, Albert
I am not a painter, for my photography I want to learn more about colors, so I found Josef Albers book and finde your video. I like it a lot, it calms me down.
Hi Peeraphotography, thanks. Nice to hear it calms you down. Never thought of that effect. Bye, Albert
Incredible Albert! I find all your videos not just educational, but entertaining and soothing in a classy well informed manner. Thank you and keep on going. Content creators like you should always be our reference.
Hi Mohamed, thank you for your kind words. Enjoy making your artwork. Albert
The best art instruction on TH-cam
Thanks, Ernst.
I made some colors exercises with squares, but i didn't know that were the same as J. Albers' work. As soon as I knew about it, I started to search and to read, and to see [and it's amazing] how colors interact. Thank you for this lesson.
Thanks, Jose, for sharing your story. Enjoy and keep going, there's so much to learn about colors. Albert
Incredible art!! I always enjoy watching you paint 🎨 and learning about the process.
I feel the love from the work you're doing
Hi Olafèmi Adinda, thank you from my heart for sharing what you experience. Have a wonderful day, Albert
11:50 oh yeah!
Hi there! This is so good! I found this video because I'll be taking a workshop in the Original Bauhaus exhibit. "Paper engineering from the Bauhaus"
I remember the heatwave those days, I had just come to Berlin from Argentina, was quite a surprise.
Hi Lucrecia, thanks. Oh I envy you, taking a workshop there. Just being there is already wonderful. Enjoy and have a happy day. Albert
Genoten van jou visie op Josef Albers werk! Fantastisch om te zien hoeveel diepte er in kleur zit. Super thanks!
Hallo gmaussen, bedankt. Wat was de reden dat je informatie over Albers zocht? Of schilder je? Albert
Oh wait, there’s more!! Love the second painting too!
you are so wholesome. bless ur heart
Hi Douglass, thanks for taking the time to tell me, this means a lot to me. All the best for you too, Albert
Thank you for sharing your brilliant and inspiring art lessons.
Thanks Irena, enjoy making your versions. Albert
Another great op piece! Love your colors and perspective. So cool to hear the inspiration behind this video and painting.
Hi Edie, I still surprise myself how my brain connects all the dots and how I get my inspiration, a fun process. Thanks for telling me. Have a nice day, Albert
was a pleasure listening to this
Thanks, Keeny
So enjoyed the colour combinations. I think we all have a different perception of colours, for example. If I ask my husband what do you think of this red colour? He will say it's not red it's orange!! And to me it definitely looks red.
Hi Maria, thanks. It was interesting to do. I know exactly what you mean with 'red'. I have this same 'problem'. I'm not a fashion lover and don't care that much about clothing and haven't developed a feel for the difference between red or bordeaux or anything in between. 2 days ago we had a discussion about it at my painting course (12 women, 1 man) it was fun and undecided. Do you paint as well? Have a nice day, Albert
I love this video!!! Thank you!
Thanks Lisa, enjoy making your color studies, Albert
Beautiful video and editing! Thank you :D
Hi Houria, thanks. It's such an interesting artist. Albert
As you may know, Albers used a pencil to draw his squares and a palette knife to apply the paint unmixed. The paintings need to be seen in real life in good light, digital or print reproduction do not have the same wow factor.
Thanks, Pete Mc. I not even doubt when I conform that all art is better appreciated when standing in front of it. But sometimes we have to deal with the substitute. I'm happy with representations in any form on the internet in the meantime. Often, lots can be learned from it. When I, on a later moment, see the original, I'm always pleasantly surprised by the extras I discover. It's the same thing with reading about art without touching paint yourself. I just hope you're a painter. Albert
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing such great content - you are very talented!
Hi Gizmo, thanks. It's wonderful to hear you like them so much. Happy painting, Albert
Hello! greetings from Argentina. I tell you that I am a student of color, from the point of view of photographic art. Today I discovered Josef Albers and was fascinated by his book "Interaction of Color". I thank you very much for the videos that helped me a lot to feel the theory in a better way and I would like to ask if apart from Goethe, Itten, Kandisnki and Albers there would be any other color student who would not have to miss studying. Thank you very much and I hope you continue uploading videos !!
Hi Karla, thanks. As far as color studies, you found the most important ones that I know of. If you find any new ones, please let me know. Bye, Albert
Today I read that Isaac Newton also had his color theory. Perhaps interesting to look into too. Bye, Albert
Thanks a lot. If I come across another theory, I will be sharing it! regards
Thanks Karla. Bye, Albert
You must have a very FIRM hand to draw such straight lines!
Isn't every learned creative skill based on practicing a lot? Albert
Thanks
Trying to understand how Color Theory Contrast of Extension and Successive Contrast fits into this
Thanks, Romel. My first question is: did you read his book? The video is only an introduction to the concept and an introduction to part of his art. Albert
I think im getting an effect of transparency. The center square goes under the film and can be seen transparently through it. Im also getting the second and third squares fading together a bit in my peripheral vision.
Looks to me like the transparency was the aim, I might be tripping though. What interaction of colors did you intend?
Hi Painting, these are ideas. What you will do with them is up to you. The interaction of color is about you learning how colors work together by doing experiments like in the book titled like that by Josef Albers. Hope this helps, Albert
Gracias
Hi Karim, thanks. Have a nice day, Albert
(i have no reason to make this comment, just sounded interesting, go to 2:42 for context)
The most common answer to the sky being blue is;
"Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white."
this comment is pointless
Hi HyperspacePotato, thanks anyway for telling. And sometimes the technical correct answer isn't always the correct answer 😉👍 it was rhetorical in a way I guess? Bye, Albert
MUY INTERESANTE
Hola Sandra, gracias. Te deseo un buen día, Albert
Song around 6:00 sounds kinda bop at 1.5 speed.
Thanks funny to hear Lytong.
JUST WOW
Hi Husna, thanks. Albert

Hi Marsh, thanks, it's all a matter of taste and personal preference so it's alright by me. Albert
❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@ImperfectPaintings ❤️☺️

Hi Sweet, thanks for commenting but what do you mean? Albert
