Hey thanks for all the kind words folks! If you want to check out the limited edition trucker hats, you can find those here: www.andrewtischler.com/merch/ 👍😉🧢
And I just got out of a surgery just recently brain surgery and you're one of my favorite artists that I would 100% love to me face to face one day. Thank you so much for showing me and everyone else how to break down different brush strokes; especially the different techniques that one person can use.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s also the best way to understand the skill that went into the creation of a painting. Many artists who are now considered masters painted copies in their early years. Van Gogh, for example, copied over 20 of Jean-Francois Millet’s works. I know I’ve seen plenty of copies in museums and art books. It’s a time-honored way to learn.
Dear Andrew, It's now a year since I got into professional painting. You should be a proud dad of raising mini-painters all over the world. You should have a reason to thank you for building competence and creativity endeavor in others. I hope to inspire people as you did Cheers mate
Andrew, it is a blessing being able to watch you work from across the globe. I believe this painting was an incredible exercise for you. The fact that you're able to paint in such detail always amazes me. Now that you are learning the loose impressionistic method, this will make you unstoppable and add a whole new range of artillery when approaching a new painting of your own. I'm excited to see you apply it. I hope you are getting the recognition you deserve out in New Zealand. Although you are more of a realistic painter than the impressionistic, I hold you up there along with Sargent, Monet, and the greats. You may think that is a ridiculous comparison but I honestly feel like I'm watching one of the greats when I watch your channel. You are the next generation! I aspire to be you and if you ever open an Atelier, my wife and I may just quit our jobs and move out to New Zealand to learn from you. Keep up the inspirational work.
I had a teacher who taught old masters style. we did copies of ol'masters to help to practice color mixing etc. I did a copy of Wyaths' "Old Pew' The old blind man from Treasure Island. Also a small copy of a Stubbs horse painting. There is a lot to learn from copying. As long as you make sure you sign it and right on back that its AFTER the master who painted italong with title of painting. The masters had many apprentices who would make copies or fininish the masters paintings. Hundred or so years down the track the fact many paintings are unsigned, there has been confusion as the authenticity of the artist. This alone makes it important make it clear who painted it. Love your tutorials Andrew.. I have learnt much ,and am inspired immensely by you. Thankyou
The original painting is such an exquisite rendering of a lovely mare and her precious baby. The entire scene is idealyc, calling back memories real or perhaps imagined and wished for. I understand why this is one of your wife's favourite paintings. Your copy of this masterpiece is a treasure in its own right... one I am sure she will cherish, especially because it was your creative talent and loving heart that recreated this special painting for her. A very romantic and endearing excerise.
I’ve done 7 masters copies for the same reasons. It makes you really think about how they did it - what colors and brushes they used . You really have to think . It’s great fun and they turned out very well!!
Andrew, the way I understand the copywrite laws pertaining to art/masters from my Uni lectures lies in the intent. If it is intended to 'fake' an original, it must firstly be claimed as an original, in ALL aspects. Whether it be size, paint, signature or subject. The 'intent' is not to deceive, but to draw inspiration from. You have used paint that was not available within the period, nor have you claimed a provenance by signature. You have claimed a desire to capture the style, colour/paint application and to a degree the brush strokes. Again there is no intent to be fraudulent only to produce a remarkable study, ( I am envious). Your painting/drawing tutorials got me through my Fine Arts Degree from well before day one. My lecturers have been thoroughly ear bashed about the Master's ability....... Your distant student shall await the next installment.😊
Provenance is not the same as copyright. A Copywriter is not the same as copyrighter. Fraud is when you represent soemthing as something it is not. The issue of copyright is more about reproduction. Trade mark is more related to fraud although one of the components of either is the completive advantage or recognising the brand, and therefore fraud could be an aspect of the case. You can make as many copies as you like, copyright only kicks in when there is distribution, and this copy within the video is already well within fair use. However this is well out of copyright.
You can paint anything, even copy modern paintings from the last years...as long as you do not sell it or promote it as your own invented art, no infringement. I can go and paint "interchange" from Willem de Kooning, basically copy it. If I ad a small difference and sign it with my own signature and clearly communicate that it is a copy, I can even sell it without a problem. What you are describing is related to copryright claim and those usually only relate to intelectual property. Same goes for photos....if I download a famous photo from someone else and sell it as my own....infringement. However if I go to the same place, the same persepective, same time of the year and hour and take an new photo, I can sell it without infringement. @@howlingwaters2741
I remember when you did that beautiful painting of your wife. It came on my feed out of the blue. After that I started watching more and more TH-cam videos of different kinds of art, that I decided recently to start learning how to draw. I guess you were the inspiration. It isn't easy at my age but I'm giving it a go. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.😊
So pleased you did this, Andrew! It's a fantastic copy and what a brilliant exercise. I love to copy a Master for all the reasons you said and gift them to friends - with a little tweak of adding something personal that shows it definitely a copy (like who am I kidding that mine could be mistaken for the original 🤣🤣) The respect I come away with for how the master painter accomplished their work - the composition, use of colours, texture and choice of brush etc - gasts my flabber! Thank you for taking the time to edit your content into these smaller freebies for us to watch - really appreciate that as a non-income person🙏 I trust Rachel was thrilled with her birthday gift 💝
Your videos are a delight with the clear and heavenly intoned voice-over plus some great music behind. I did see that someone besides myself wishes you’d shown your missus’ reaction to the painting. You’ve inspired me to go ahead with a master copy, don’t know why I’ve always resisted. Beautiful.
I was so delighted to see you do a copy of a Lucy Kemp Welch painting. I have been a fan of hers for years and have done a couple of copy exercises myself. We seem to forget that all the great masters of the past learnt by copying those who went before them. We lose the knowledge of the past if we assume we have nothing to learn from it. I have books on Lucy and I noticed in some of the unfinished paintings that she actually seemed to work on the main subject first and slowly build in around it. Thanks for this post.
You're spot on Jane, loads of masters learnt from other masters by copying. Not sure why I haven't tried doing this previously to learn more techniques!!! That approach does make sense. I may try another with that sequence in mind.
You know what I love about your videos? That you show exactly how some specific brushstrokes you make!!! I have your portraits videos and i learned a lot from them, and I keep going back at them time by time. Thank you Andrew!
You have the best artist channel , appreciate your work and knowledge. I was a child prodigy but never continued drawing and painting going into graphic arts and printing . Now I'm 58 and I'm going to start again . God bless 🙏🏼
I did a Master Copy of Thomas Coles painting for my studio painting assignment and have to do a Manner of Study from it into a large canvas. Before you ask, the Manner of Study assignment is not another copy to Thomas’s painting, I did a landscape of a interesting landmark near the town of Alpine, Texas. The master work is just an exercise as my professor said so it’s not intended copy for personal gain except for practicing and improving my skill
When I was first learning to paint with oils I also used old masters as a training device. I learned so much from copying them. Whatever works and is readily available when there is no living master around, or is unwilling to train you.. Drive on!
Hi Andrew ..great to see you back again 😊 I see nothing wrong with copying ..it's more an act of reverence and praise in my mind. I have a pencil drawing in progress of Ansell Adam's photo 'Yellowstone Falls' on the easel. What a wonderful tribute to the artist it is in my view. As you were painting and grapling with looser brush techniques I immediately thought of Royo's bold brushwork and how he might inspire your own progress. Anyhow I loved the painting, and that you brought a new artist to my attention 🙏
Once I paint a " Girl with a golden earing " , a inspiration from " Girl with pearl earing " from Vermeer. I admire that Old Master from Dutch Painters. I learn a lot too, was a good experience.
It was great to see you, "roughing it" rather than using your A. I. with atomic clocks, compasses, parallel rules, plumb-bobs, etc... to make the super-duper hard realism... thanks.
I am a beginner at oil painting. All those brush marks, until I saw the finished horse painting, wow, the way the light hits the horse! I only took one oil painting class so I have a lot to learn. Oil painting is in my bucket list. My favorite to paint is gardening painting. I told my friend that my paintings are always at noon with no shadows.
What a fantastic video. I've just started painting again after a break of about 15 years and I refused to use a projector to help me, but after watching this I will certainly give it a go just as you did. Thanks Andrew, you have inspired me. cheers
Hello. You (and your wife) can be very happy with this copy, bravo. I sometimes try to copy and I feel like it's often more difficult than painting your own art.
Great demo, Andrew. I appreciate how you went about this. Awhile back I loved an oil painting from a magazine, and did my very own copy, in watercolor. I was pleased with how it turned out. I let people know, when they comment, that it is not entirely original. Though I never plan to sell it I really should note on the back and credit the original artist.
After watching this wonderful video, I looked up Lucy Kemp Welch, and then found others painters of horses like Sir Alfred Munnings. I like the loose look. I try to get that loose look in my acrylic paintings. But, it's easy to get back into doing more tight work as I go along.
So beautiful! Amazing all those colours yet the horse still looks white to our mind. Great work! I’ve a few favourite old masters I wish I could get this level of a master copy
I think plagiarism gets a bad wrap for good reasons. I like what you said at the beginning: "This isn't art, this is an exercise." I think we could all learn more from copying than we realize. The problem is if you only copy, you're not creative but if you never copy, you grow much slower. Copying is like a master lesson from whoever you choose to imitate.
Because of the tight deadlines of delivering covers for Saturday Evening Post Norman Rockwell used a projector. You do what you have to to get the result you want.
Love this copy Andrew. I did one of Sargent couple of weeks ago and loved the exercise. I’ve heard it’s 70 years after death for public domain works. Candi K
Cool, duly noted. Yeah, I've heard 50, 70 or 100... but again that's related to selling the work and making it a commercial endeavour... But I need to do some more digging. I appreciate the input!
Especially when a person is a beginner painter with oil paint can create magical and beautiful and amazing artwork just by practicing and loosening their brush strokes. And being bold not being scared to make mistakes. Even though I'm still learning to do the techniques that you are showing I'm truly blessed to learn from you
What fun! Thank you for introducing us to Lucy Kemp Welch! Her mastery of horse anatomy and expressions is amazing. I am a horse lover a d have been drawing them since l was young (71 now and still do horses) you did a great job capturing the vibrancy of her brushwork. And those delicious whites..... loved this so much now looking at buying the book about her art. Again. Thanks!!!!
I do lots of master copies. When I do one, I use the layers and transparency features in photoshop to draw all the objects in the painting as three dimensional objects like spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc. Then shade them to give them volume. I also draw the horizon and perspective lines to further put the objects on the picture plane in three dimensional space. Then I project this drawing onto the canvas. I find this helps the painting have a more three dimensional look. When I first started I just traced the contours and I felt it made my master copy look flat. Another thing I focus on when doing master copies is pay attention to the edge work the artist did. Like soft or hard edges, do they use light or dark halos, etc. I found this really helps develop my own painting skills. As far as master copies being cheating or forgery, most musicians only play someone else's work like Mozart or Beethoven but for some reason painters are only expected to make original works. It doesn't make sense. Every artist should do master copies to develop their skills. It's how the master apprentice system worked for the past 500 years.
Re: Chip Brushes...I'm told the food prep versions of those brushes do not shed as much as the painting ones. [the kind used for spreading barbecue sauce, etc.] Also, soaking them in water makes the bristles swell a bit = less shedding. Then flapping them against your hand to dry them helps to release those loose bristles. You can also use pliers to pinch the ferrule tighter.
Nothing wrong with hacks to get you to the painting as long as you have the essence of your subject to do it justice as you grow skills in drawing and painting.. Thanks Andrew. See you in Patreon again in November. Yea!!!
Thank you for that experiment. That is really a surprising use of a brush for details... it was definetely inspiring to try something similar myself, although I'm actually (because of one of your more recent videos) more into painting beautiful autumn veggies right now :) I have the same illness of overperfectionate (is that a word?) details and planing ahead, and I really do admire people who can draw and paint without any planing whatsoever, but this exercise could, maybe, heal me a little. I'm sure your wife will be super happy with this gift. There are really awesome paintings out there, and who would not want to have his/her favourite for oneself!

To paint well, you must know how to copy well
You may be copying a master painting Andrew but you are a master yourself. Your paintings are simply beautiful!
Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much for showing me and everyone else how to break down different brush strokes; especially the different techniques that one person can use.
You are the one artist that has inspired me to push my painting skills and abilities to the limit. Love your work

The chip brush taped to the long handle brush is both genius and hysterical. Well done on this one! turned out beautiful.

How great to watch you paint again, Andrew. Many thanks .
I think this was an interesting exercise and a great way to bond with an artist who’s work you appreciate.

Hello. You (and your wife) can be very happy with this copy, bravo. I sometimes try to copy and I feel like it's often more difficult than painting your own art.
Totally! There's a different thought process going on!
Really enjoyed that. Very illuminating!
This is beautiful! I prefer the painterly style myself when I paint. Your art is outstanding and so precise and realistic. I really appreciate it. ♥️

Then flapping them against your hand to dry them helps to release those loose bristles. You can also use pliers to pinch the ferrule tighter.
Love the rain and darkness love the atmosphere Andrew ❤
Nothing wrong with hacks to get you to the painting as long as you have the essence of your subject to do it justice as you grow skills in drawing and painting.. Thanks Andrew. See you in Patreon again in November. Yea!!!
Copying is learning........” expressing oneself “ is all very well....but we need to learn........❤❤❤
I believe you're in your new studio, can you make another new studio tour for 2022. You're inspiring and motivating me man..
Loved that painting you are my favourite artist just get so emerged in your brilliance
Holy Horse! This is amazing and lovely.
Love your finished painting! Great copy of her painting. It looks like you had a lot of fun!
My very first painting was a copy of a Spartaco Lombardo it turned out surprisingly well and I learned so much.
Andrew...I like few artists on TH-cam....and I don't get enough of their art...like your art🙏
Great choice of master copy and great execution!
I dont know anything about paintings , but watching ur videos feel im very good artist already !!!
What can I say, your just incredible 😊I love your work
Love your work. You’re not a hack, they’re just haters.
You’re such a sweetheart, love this whole project, I have replicated a few paintings from the masters, like the Impressionism of Monet.
That was very fun!
Thank you for that experiment. That is really a surprising use of a brush for details... it was definetely inspiring to try something similar myself, although I'm actually (because of one of your more recent videos) more into painting beautiful autumn veggies right now :)
I have the same illness of overperfectionate (is that a word?) details and planing ahead, and I really do admire people who can draw and paint without any planing whatsoever, but this exercise could, maybe, heal me a little.
I'm sure your wife will be super happy with this gift. There are really awesome paintings out there, and who would not want to have his/her favourite for oneself!
