The thing is, Van Gogh put his entire being into that painting. The passion, the pressure, the frustration he felt, his entire life was in every stroke. I adore him. It’s no surprise the lady painting with orange has the most successful attempt - she had the most vibrant personality.
This is a very challenging exercise ... even if done in the privacy of one's own home or studio.. having cameras on you and the critical eye of a master must add to the difficulty. I am really enjoying this series !!
Irene was my favorite, she really had fun and put that on the canvas! I remember seen this show on the cultural channel of my country when i was a kid and I love it bc was really educative and the fact that he was a forger, were in prison even and then a tv show. Back then I didin't have the words, but now seeing it again after 13 years, maybe even more, I can understand deeply why I like it, it was pedagogical in the broadest sense. Having now an education in art, pedagogy, and being anti-prison and anti-capitalist makes me appreciate this show even more
I do wish there are many more episodes. This series is one of the best I've seen online. The solid stretch your of creativity stands out. And he does it in a way that infuses energy as opposed to being merely challenged. He has, I feel, an approach of, I can do this! versus Can I do this? There's a huge difference.
Fabrizio Aldonne I never saw a gliclée in "real life" so would there be any texture of paint and brush? If not then for an example I think his paintings are good
LshowKnows Not of the paint, but of the brush. But anyway, the paintings shown could have been done by someone else. I just thought it was interesting to point out they were his own forgeries.
Fabrizio Aldonne Yes yes I also think that he should at least, at some point say it´s a work of his. So in the end, a gliclée can´t recreate the texture of the paint, only of the brush?
I love, love, love this man! What a supremely talented individual to intellectually and artistically get onto the head and hearts of all the masters. It's really amazing. Plus he has a fabulous personality and kinda looks like Sting! Just a great series!!
Just stumbled on this series, how wonderful! Very interesting. It would have been much easier to do the heavy impasto with oils rather than acrylics. He also should have told them that in this particular exercise the likeness was secondary to the expressive brush strokes. But good effort on all parts!
Vincent Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists of all time, I especially admire his series of Sunflowers, to whish he paint most of them in Arles, i also loved Starry Night.
Love John, however, I believe the students would benefit if he would demonstrate a few brushstrokes before their session . Nevertheless,I totally enjoy all his demos.
A huge mistake people make is not practicing lively/loose drawing from day one. It's good to be precise when studying proportions or perspective but when it comes to actually drawing and painting you need to be loose. This is why people practice figure drawing so much from day one. A lot of self taught artists focus so much on details before they even develop basic structure and flow. Replication is boring there has to be flow and life to art.
"Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well." - Vincent Van Gogh. Then came you.... then came you, Vincent. They did not listen, they're not listening still.... perhaps they never will. Love you Master V
Thanks for posting. Very interesting. One thing I don't remember you mentioning or not was Vincent often painted on straight burlap which has a muted tan appearance. Later, he would prime each canvas first with a thin coat of yellow ocher to get a more even and balanced surface of color. Yellow Ocher is an interesting color because it tends to blend in with all the colors around it when it's not covered with one itself. Even later in his career, he would prime the canvas with the complementary of the pure color he planned to use in the painting. This provided even more "invisibility" when areas were not covered completely by each simple and precise stroke of his brush. A great technique I use myself today in my own work. Anyway, that was a fascinating study of three different artists. Next time use me if you do another Van Gogh experiment. I'm on google plus for contact. Thanks again.
i love the old masters and have been researching and practicing their techniques. However, i found the time it takes to complete a painting for me, takes too much time. Van Gogh, i thought, was an answer to my dilemma. But I was wrong. I find this artist had a deep understanding of color theory, composition, relation of space, etc. I have a brand new respect for Van Gogh.
I find painting Vincent’s paintings great fun ,to much fussy is not how he painted ,movement and facial structures were more important ! Vincent painted with. Passion and perhaps mania ? I have recovered from horrible depression ,and painting is great fun as I attempt to “ learn how the masters painted ! Vincent ,if you have basic understanding of techniques and a passion for original interpretation and a bit of let loose manic passion ,it speaks in your art ! Great videos ,I look forward to seeing all !
He doesn't seem too critical, but he doesn't know how to bring his students with him, to inspire them rather than intimidating them. It's a difficult thing to do. The students were quite timid themselves and not very confident - but a great teacher might assuage their fears and help them find the way forward.
Vincent painted very fast like sketching with a pencil.If you don't,you've missed it.You have to attack it with urgency.Enjoying these videos sir.Cheers from Canada.
I first saw a Van Gogh self portrait at the Rijks museum. I welled up. Such pain in those eyes. Carl’s airbrush work looks great. I’m only 2 minutes in at this stage. Van Gogh is my favourite artist
wow, I am so glad I found this site...........I paint, but am pretty stiff.....this is awesome and I am learning about the artists too. Thank you so much.
Student "Carl" totally missed the mark, not realizing that it's the technique that was hard; and not the teacher! This guy has all the hallmarks of a brilliant teacher: he's a gifted painter; a somewhat shady personality; and totally has a temper.
He is not a great teacher because he failed to read his students and adjust accordingly. He made Carl feel more alienated than inspired - he might do better with some directing or teaching classes.
@@dudepersonvids a teacher can only do so much. If a teacher tries to teach a student to paint in the style of another artist and they refuse to let go of their old habits there is nothing more the teacher can do. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
@@joecombs7468 Thats exactly what I don't get. He entered this program hoping to learn something from Myatt and paint like another artist yet throughout the whole time, was completely unwilling to try out new techniques and styles. Useless student.
The bullying of Carl was unpleasant to watch. This is not the sign of a good teacher. Van Gogh may have been passionate but he was also full.of love and kindness for his fellow man. Carl, if you read this, you did a fine job. Irene captured the Van Gogh spirit and went for it. Excellent.
I notice they don't use straight lines when painting sketching rounding with brush to paint eyes and shape instead of intersecting straight strokes I find I have more control with strokes and makes the illusion of depth
I totally agree would be wonderful if he would hold a class every week actually teaching a complete landscape painting. Think how much we would learn I am just a beginner but I have learned a lot just watching other artists with their demonstrations. Example J.S Lisondra, Bob Ross, Wow Art and others
People complain about this guy as rude and demanding... that's every painting teacher I've ever had. And every painting teacher has had a warmer side you might expect from someone who concerns themselves with beauty.
marie has the ful mark she really expressed her passion more than others and she also controled her way in drawing . I like d her approshe to this Vincint's area of fine Art 👍💕
He's quite candid about that period in his life, and he was relieved when he was caught. It was one of the best things that could have happened because it allowed him to build a legitimate career without the constant stress of breaking the law and dealing with his psychopathic partner in crime.
None of them are like them at all! Hahaha. That guy carls was a right shocker. Irene chose great colors but she looked like a Serpent shapeshifter of the Apocalypse. Maria was the best and was doing good up until the point were she overworked her chin and made it more pronounced.
I agree :D But to be fair it's not easy ( or realistic ) to paint a good self portrait in Van Gogh's style in only six hours, in front of the camera and this guy running around. I would say that if they did this in a quiet, more peacefull enviroment the results would be much better.
Today I learned that Brits pronounce the artist's name as "Van Goff" instead of "Van Go" as in the US. (With amused nods at both from speakers of Dutch).
Paul Thomas Not exactly. But good effort :) _Am I going to be that Dutch person that’s in every Van Gogh video? Oh well, here we go. I’m sorry_ The first and second ‘G’ are pronounced the same way (forget about the H). How gutteral these G’s depends on whether you want a more Northern-Netherlands (harder like the Scottish loch as mentioned) or Southern/Flemish sound (perhaps closer to a hard H but it’s still a G). The ‘o’ is short, closer to the British ‘Goff’. The ‘van’ part is often overlooked: it’s closer to ‘vahn’, not the harsher English ‘vèn’. In the end it really doesn’t matter that much: names and words are often pronounced differently in different countries/languages. But it’s fascinating to learn about.
I thank you for this so much,as my fav. artist you have enlighted me very much, more so his landscapes influence me,and I believe you have helped me a lot the control and passion I have and it is a unigue balance may I put the energy into my work now ,not a duplicate do I wish to paint but the style I feel better about achieving,do believe I use a more impasto style than your students but they to have learned as I do see his work in Irenes piece most of all again leveing you with much thanks for this video
Sorry, are you saying Van Gogh is crap? He is my all time favurite, and a major inspiration! Surely, even if you do not like his style, you can appreciate what he achieved? With little to no tutilage he almost invented his own style of painting, and allowed Expressionism and post-Impressionism, and so later Cubism and other abstract forms to be born! Beautiful, and actually really hard to replicate, for me, at least.
I absolutely enjoy this video ! I wish I had this guidance when I am painting. If anyone can give me the name of the teacher master in that class? I want to see his painting, or may be he has online classes?
I‘m sad that Carl didn‘t understand the way of Van Gogh. He used a positive and a negative type of painting where you take out all the colors out except just 2. He missed the point 100% The passion in Gogh‘s painting was that he used the entire rainbow of colors in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that almost seams chaotic when you would look at it closely. But which would create a coherent picture from a distance. If you‘d look closely at Carl‘s painting. You would see only lines and 2 colors. A very cold painting that has nothing to do with a vivid mind that painted the Van Gogh self portrait. The teacher was actually kind enough to keep it cool.
imo, they all did brilliantly painting in a style completely foreign to them and with time constraints and someone telling them often "you're missing the mark, show passion!"
The women's paintings were actually very good homages to Vincent's intricate style. The closed off, arrogant male got offended by the instructors directness rather than finding value in the direction the instructor was giving. He did well on the face, though. You could tell what was important to him.
It's like taking 3 colors that don't match, and creating a Materpiece. 3 artists of talent, thrown into a Huge Unknown and expecting Brilliance. Each one had a Unique Vision, limited by human condition. If there was a round "2", what would they ACCOMPLISH!!
What is it with the best artists being tortured souls? If you're complacent and happy with your work you will be good, but to never be satisfied and always want better will push you to greater heights. Just never give up.
There was a lack of passion from these three students, which shows in there finish works. The fear Of truly expressing themselves, held them back from really achieving their goal.
You can't just sit someone in front of a Van Gogh painting and order them to be passionate about it. This program was more about copying someone elses style rather than the artist expressing themselves.
I think it can be a worthwhile exercise. Not for painting like Van Gogh particularly, but good for color exercise, loosening up exercise, portrait exercise. This kind of exercise can help you discover your own painter self. I think it's strange that 'the forger' is still forging. Where is his painting self? He has taken advantage of his notoriety to turn a buck.
In order to keep you close and do not skip the journey and also to let you stay focus all journey-time round because it is two ways trip, the trip is about the master, and the English never call art trainers, teachers, but instead Masters as well as the french.
I am learning great amounts about different painting styles and the great artists by the good work they do, but more so from the glaring errors the painter's make. A brief comment on Carl's self portrait. Carl painted Carl quite well; but why are there no swirling brush strokes with more color that could have made this more reminiscent of this Van Gogh painting? As bothersome is the over abundance of only blue in the background, without any of the swirl with additional color for this particular challenge. The swirling, brush strokes are the first thing I see when I look at this Van Gogh painting. Why did he ignore those completely? Give John an hour and he could turn this into more of what John, and I assume, the viewing audience was hoping for. Do you agree?
The thing is, Van Gogh put his entire being into that painting. The passion, the pressure, the frustration he felt, his entire life was in every stroke. I adore him. It’s no surprise the lady painting with orange has the most successful attempt - she had the most vibrant personality.
If she had any art knowledge she probably would have nailed it.
I like how Mr. Myatt mentions jail time so nonchalantly, like a resume high light...lol!
His prison time while life changing is now a flex of sorts. He was good at what he did and is amending his wrongs by teaching others
This is a very challenging exercise ... even if done in the privacy of one's own home or studio.. having cameras on you and the critical eye of a master must add to the difficulty. I am really enjoying this series !!
The older lady who painted in orange...absolutely great!!!

I wish Myatt would do his version too. I think it would show the students truely what they are missing.
Dave La Violette Yeah really that's what I've been missing as well
I would love to watch him teaching the techniques of the masters. Maybe due to his history they don't want him producing such work if so what a loss.

The Van Gogh he presents the students is one of his forgeries. In fact, in most of these episodes, he presents his forgery.

The orange painting is wonderful
Drew Suttlefield Certainly the best of the bunch
Drew Suttlefield But it's a close call. The other girl did good as well. The guy didn't really have a good day.
It was so fun! Though it started out kind of clowny like she said. I really like the other girl’s painting.
As an art teacher, I conclude that Drew's work was definately the strongest....rich in colour, energy and texture...beautiful 🧡🧡🧡🧡

this is really valuable.
Today I learned that Brits pronounce the artist's name as "Van Goff" instead of "Van Go" as in the US. (With amused nods at both from speakers of Dutch).
and the Dutch pronounce it Van Hogh with a hard H and throaty stressed gh..
My Dutch friend said they pronounce it like the Scotts pronounce loch- gogh.
Paul Thomas Not exactly. But good effort :)
_Am I going to be that Dutch person that’s in every Van Gogh video? Oh well, here we go. I’m sorry_
The first and second ‘G’ are pronounced the same way (forget about the H). How gutteral these G’s depends on whether you want a more Northern-Netherlands (harder like the Scottish loch as mentioned) or Southern/Flemish sound (perhaps closer to a hard H but it’s still a G). The ‘o’ is short, closer to the British ‘Goff’. The ‘van’ part is often overlooked: it’s closer to ‘vahn’, not the harsher English ‘vèn’.
In the end it really doesn’t matter that much: names and words are often pronounced differently in different countries/languages. But it’s fascinating to learn about.
@Mr Sloth the g and k are very distinctly different letters in Dutch, but if that’s how you would write a guttural g then sure :)
Van gogh paintings look simple...they are anything but.

15:59 *bright cheerful music fades away into disappointment*
What is it with the best artists being tortured souls? If you're complacent and happy with your work you will be good, but to never be satisfied and always want better will push you to greater heights. Just never give up.
Brilliant program!
ALL THREE OF THEM GOT A PRETTY GOOD LIKENESS
of themselves
well done
and
like, no, i mean they can t really be expected to , kind, like BE a VAN gogh
There was a lack of passion from these three students, which shows in there finish works. The fear Of truly expressing themselves, held them back from really achieving their goal.
you are not right, they just did'nt risk as much as they had to
+TheNacho Draw you just repeated what he said
i know, he said the lack of passion, i dont really think that
proberly cos that forger guy was trying to tell them what to do all the time ,all be it in a less than pleasant mannor
You can't just sit someone in front of a Van Gogh painting and order them to be passionate about it. This program was more about copying someone elses style rather than the artist expressing themselves.
both Gs in Gogh have that Scottish sound, not just the final one
Was that acrylic or oil?
GREAT GREAT GREAT. THANK YOU.
I think it can be a worthwhile exercise. Not for painting like Van Gogh particularly, but good for color exercise, loosening up exercise, portrait exercise. This kind of exercise can help you discover your own painter self. I think it's strange that 'the forger' is still forging. Where is his painting self? He has taken advantage of his notoriety to turn a buck.
Cheers for uploading this!
We loved the last painting from Alex (8 years old).
In order to keep you close and do not skip the journey and also to let you stay focus all journey-time round because it is two ways trip, the trip is about the master, and the English never call art trainers, teachers, but instead Masters as well as the french.
I want to see John paint Master copies. Where’s that show?
Bummer.
I am learning great amounts about different painting styles and the great artists by the good work they do, but more so from the glaring errors the painter's make. A brief comment on Carl's self portrait. Carl painted Carl quite well; but why are there no swirling brush strokes with more color that could have made this more reminiscent of this Van Gogh painting? As bothersome is the over abundance of only blue in the background, without any of the swirl with additional color for this particular challenge. The swirling, brush strokes are the first thing I see when I look at this Van Gogh painting. Why did he ignore those completely? Give John an hour and he could turn this into more of what John, and I assume, the viewing audience was hoping for. Do you agree?
