Thank you! I will keep keeping ‘em coming.

Thank you for the telegram stop. I don’t plan to stop stop. :)

also, you have great taste in music. try glenn gould playing js bach partitas. the best. on youtube

@@plwarren thanks again. Gould’s recordings of the partitas are some of my favorites.

I want to be buried with Gould playing BMV 933-938. I listen to them while trying to learn hatching.@@mkompan

My pleasure!

Goodness, you're very kind! Thank you for the compliments. Viewers like you make all this work worthwhile.

Thank you!

My pleasure! Hopefully this was only exhaustive, rather than exhausting.

My pleasure! I’m glad you’re finding my videos helpful.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.

My pleasure!

Thank you! It was so fun to make my own Zorn. I like this technique a lot and will be doing more of these.

My pleasure. I’m glad I could inspire you to start copying. Will keep on keeping it up!

My pleasure! The paper in the Talens art creations sketchbook is really pretty good, considering how thin it is, and stands up to quite a bit of abuse!

Thank you! Glad to have introduced it to you.

I would love to see you giving a deep dive in the Gustav Doré techniques @@mkompan

@@zbr7359 on the list!

Thank you! Zorn's graphic work definitely deserves to be better known.

Thank you!

Thanks! Glad you found me.

Thank you! I’m going to keep making video far into the future.

Thank you! I’m glad this video inspired you.

My pleasure! I’m glad you found it useful.

Such a lovely comment! Thank for the subscription. I promise many more videos like this one.

Piacere mio! Questi video non ottengono il pubblico che hanno ricevuto alcuni dei miei altri tipi di video, ma sono i miei preferiti da realizzare, perché è dove mi sento più utile.

Thanks for the kind words! Zorn's graphic work deserves to be better known. As far I know it's only been published once. And I agree, we fetishize originality, as if that in itself is the only quality on which art is judged.

well said.

@@mkompan hear, hear.

Thank you! I’m glad this inspired you to try this valuable practice.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the subscription! And you're right, being a Zornling isn't the worst thing in the world. :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

My pleasure! I'm glad you're enjoying the intro's. I wish I could use better classical music, but that means having to pay a licensing fee.

My pleasure! Thanks for the tip.

My pleasure, as always! Yes, waterproof India ink will work perfectly for this.

Dore is on my list of tutorials to make. Etching is closer to drawing, in that the lines are scratched free hand into a varnish covered metal plate, which is then immersed in acid. Dore’s medium was engraving, a much more laborious technique where the lines were physically carved into the metal plate. Dore used a variety of mechanical aids to create his straight lines, which makes his work difficult to copy free hand, but we can give it a try.

Thanks for the very kind words! I use a variety of papers, depending on what I’m doing. Bristol is ok, but can feather with certain inks, and isn’t good for washes. I find hot press watercolor paper (Arches is a good brand).

@@mkompan does arches have larger paper sizes, I am wondering as I usually would like larger paper. I generally use Bristol with my fountain pens and they perform fairly fine which is good, but i was also wondering if fountain friendly papers are like crucial to using fountain pens.

@@Kite7077 you can buy arches in large sheets (22x30”). And if want to go even larger, I believe it can be purchased in rolls, but I can’t remember the dimensions. Fountain pen inks are not as well behaved as drawing inks, and have a greater tendency to feather and strike through, but I think generally any paper that is ink friendly, will also be fountain pen friendly.

@@mkompan Oh yea, I was checking the arches brand out and they seem to have a few good products out there for watercolor papers and such, I was not that aware that fountain pen ink is not that well behaved however, but yes it is true that it can be really annoying sometimes, I feel really thankful that i discovered this channel as it is really helpful and i find the videos to be insanely easy to watch and understand despite the amount of detail. Anyways thanks a lot for the advice, im going to be spending a lot of money lol.

Copying work done by lefties is more difficult, but mostly because I'm filming. When I'm off camera I rotate the paper to get a more comfortable angle. Not that it matters, but I'm copying a print, so the original marks on the etching plate would have been flipped.

1. Zorn is perhaps a touch better than Sargeant, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of either as painters. Both are too slick and superficial for my taste. But their off-hours work, etchings and watercolors, are wonderful, full of inventiveness and daring, missing from their official productions. 2. It was surprising how the wash and the ink worked together in Zorn, so much so that it was sometimes difficult to see where an effect was created by wash, or by hatch. 3. I'm planning to expand this "lessons from the masters" series into other media, and I think Seurat's tonal masterpieces are good candidates for copying.

@@mkompan 1. Those of us acutely aware of our own shortcomings of technique are sometimes seduced by brilliant technique in others, even if it has little to say.

Thank you! I’m not sure who to cover next. Perhaps a landscape artist? Claude Lorraine or Van Gogh? I have other videos to do first, which gives me time to think about it.

@@mkompan Van Gogh is a good one to think about, also Goya or even Kley are good bets too, or you can try to experiment to covering artists that are not in the classic/fine art sphere, but you decide, it’s your channel

Thanks! I have an introduction to cross hatching that will get you started. I’m planning on doing more introductory videos soon. Stay tuned!
