doctor, i just had discovered your channel but im so amazed by the quality of it, thank you so much for putting out such valuable information for artists!
Saw my first comprehensive Degas exhibition about ten years ago. Had that curious mix of emotion where I was simultaneously ecstatic and morbidly depressed. I’ve puddled on my own way since, but my gawd what a giant!
That was a stage in a demo for you all to demonstrate drawing in the visual order without construction drawing and without sight size. Yes, do mean to put one out there soon. .
I can't believe Degas' figures were not life-based. The turned out stance, posture and alignment of ballet dancers is accurately shown and must have been based on life-drawing. Did he also use photography?
4:23, bottom right hand image: that is a 2nd printing of an oil paint painted monotype print piece. (: I sure hope no one uses watercolors like that, oof.
Im seeing the influence of Whistler - and of course Japanese prints. Gas light is much softer than electricity - colour is different. Also slightly flickering.
Really intelligent scholarship from a painter's perspective. Lament the terrible standard or lack of it in contemporary art criticism and the art world in general.
Thank you so much! You are very interesting to listen to and learn from.

Truth
Really enjoyed this, you have a lot of knowledge, thanks for sharing
Always my pleasure!
Thank you Paul for such an informative video, very curious about your nice cast & manikan drawing behind you, could you tell us a bit about it?

Most definitely based on drawings from life. Some fairly minimal use of photography is evident but also decidedly memory based.
Later on, Degas also used steam to turn his layers into a type of paste he could maneuver it’s a knife or brush.

Point taken. Trying to think if Degas ever used watercolor.

True on all points from here.
Tho I don't recommend gaslighting.... :)

Kind words, Simeon. Thanks.
Opal is random and apparently formless. To draw opal means to draw colour not line
Interesting...maybe useful, too. Not used a term like that.
