I love this guy as a teacher...tells it like it is, and still leaves the student to do their own thing

Absolutely fantastic! What a privilege to be a student in one of these classes.

"Watteau was painting a nymph in a grotto, when he put up a sign 'Defense de touchez' to warn off Dufy" - well made me laugh...I wanted to thank you so much for this series. I am learning so much about the painters as well as about painting (Art History was an evening class and more than once I nodded off). Having worked as a Graphic Designer I have now retired and want to let my inner painter loose. Thank you again for all the inspiration and knowledge

I have been watching your series. very educational. I really enjoy that you give a bit of biography coupled with an art history lesson, topped off with painting techniques. thank you. an ex-pat from the states, watching from Bali.

The old lady nearly had heart attack ...WATCH THE EDGE LOL.

Don't know if others have said, didn't read them all..... Green Frog masking tape does great for this hard edge stuff. It chemically seals it self to the canvas with hardly NO burnishing. Used it often. A wonder.

What a fantastic show. Thank you John for sharing your talent

Hockney used Polaroid’s a lot. I went to his exhibition in London a couple of years ago. Amazing stuff.

I am not an artist but I can appreciate everything John is saying to his students. He is actually a really good teacher as well as being a top drawer forger!

A lovely ecentric Englishman we need more of you.

Just discovered this series. Love it. Too bad there is no demo first by John.

Laura Has done the excellent work.....

What joy

I love all series and what a great teacher !! Are there new series? I wish I would have watched them before.... thanks for sharing!

What a great series!

The 'small industrial town in North Yorkshire...?' Surely you mean Bradford which in 1955 was the world centre of the wool trade and which is in West Yorkshire. I suppose for a forger it is close enough though.

Great fm the forger! they all missed the shadow in the water of the pool wall..I kept wishing I was in this class! ....laura yore the best!

Hockney is much better than some of his contemporaries.

Love Hockney and he also uses an iPad now.

Love this series ❤

The funny thing is how Ned looks like a Hockney.

Thank you! Very fun and interesting ☺️🌺

Somehow, I think it would be hilarious to see John paint "in the style of Bob Ross." Although wet-on-wet isn't really something he does.

Thank You!

David paints with an iPad now. It's not easy to copy another artists style, especially if you can't walk in their shoes. You can only emulate them.

Gosto muito deste canal do David Hockney

The role of Ned will be played by Jake Gyllenhaal.

The painting Hockney is shown painting ((portrait of an artist) at a pool)at 15:46 mark is up for auction in a few days and expected to break 100 million dollars. With auction fees.

F**k Warhol. Hockney is a legend. A true maverick.

I wish they would have painted a hockney's portrait

Laura's Hockney actually looks better than Hockney's Hockney to my eye. Hockney's splash doesn't look convincing to me.

nice thing about 20th century "art" is that faking it is no challenge tempting , because the prices are ridiculous

let me just add a little more masking tape here

Good video, make me think. Hard edge didn't intrigue me until seeing this episode. I've tried it, but let it go. Must try again.

Some 'intro'; for 'small industrial town in North Yorkshire', read, large industrial city ( Bradford ) in the West Riding of Yorkshire.'

Wasn't James Herriot from Yorkshire?...

hockney once said he spent alot of time just painting the actual white splash...

I would call David Hockney the English Andy Warhol

At 13:40 The guy intuitively nailed Hockney's later painting style by discussing Dufy's work. Amazing.

here is a good one finally

Dear Lord...if we have a problem with the masking tape...

I love painting

I lived in LA in 74..so when I saw a Hockney I got it. But sorry I'm not a fan of Dufy. More kudos!

Enjoyable but really could have done with the forger explaining Monet techniques in much more depth.

Laura's painting looks better than Hockney's

SHE'S SO CUTE!!!!! I WANT TO MARRY HER!!!! The old lady I mean.

Use GORILLA TAPE. Makes a perfect no bleed edge with out any burnishing AWESOME STUFF

Interesting that the mental health nurse has the closest picture

That's a good idea to mask around the outside of the canvas-copied 😊

Hello from Santa Rosa, Ca

Hey, Arty - got a kick out of your username. Douglas would approve.

no puedo ver nada la pantalla esta toda negra, podrían ayudarme?gracias

He had a pick on Hillary before they even started!

North Yorkshire ? West Yorkshire get your facts right 👍👍👍

I Hockney sold by Gagosian?!

Nice Video

Without a diving board in the painting, the splash doesn't make much sense.

the English Andy Warhol, i like it.

They needed to add the diving board - its key to context

Because *you* say so.

Hockney was born July 1937 not 1955 as stated at the beginning of this video

Hillary is beautiful.

Nothing against the guy in the video but if I was going to imitate David Hockney I'd start by wiping my butt on the canvas.

The girl in green is cute

Laura hit it on the knoggin. Sweet girl too. Nurse. Has a lot of artistic talent. Cute as a cloth button... yummie!

Team Hillary. I think dear John ess a bit too harsh in his criticism of hers. I think she got closer in mood than pretty Ned's

Fun to watch "artists" incapable of seeing...Hockney painting a lesson in how the eye sees..very ironic

Yes - being shouted at always achieves a perfect atmosphere for creating with paint... Is this the chef show for art? Uck.

He badgers the women in all these shows, yet is pointedly polite to the men......hmmmmmm.

Aleksander Sielicki Toronto kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJyHrbWQ1dGpaIk.html

should go back to forgery - make more money

Can't say i like his paintings.i find it plain and boring.

Way too symmetrical to bother painting? A 1950's era, California suburban nightmare of a house.

five stars-------------------------------------------------------------

This "teacher" is insensitive to the point of being abusive. He might be a good forger ( not good enough) but I don't agree with his evaluations.

1st one of these that I don't like bc of the artist. It's my opinion obviously, but really? With all of the wonderful painters in history?

Yes a great presenter / teacher. Those splashes were universally unrealistic and annoying, including the original. You all agree??

tsk, what this teacher MISSED was that the great success Laura had in her painting was the MOVEMENT. The building is leaving at top left, the pool is leaving bottom right. It's a fantastic push-pull with the splash in the middle to articulate the angst of both other parts pulling away. Which tells me, he doesn't know crap. Ha! Sorry. I mean he really missed the best moment... the fleeing little water running away off the canvas bottom right. He is a forgery himself who really is a bluff and knows nothing. AND he pickes out the BUSHES AS BEST???!!! How he got this master class I will never understand. tsk. He's a copier, not a creator it seems.

A forgery master become a con teacher. Great.

I'd be useless at attempting anyone else's paintings! I can't paint! I have done some drawings with an ink pen but they are the work of an absolute amateur! All A Level art students are far better at drawing then I am, not to mention a whole world of amateur and profession artists out there!

grade 2 public school painting..

This is a completely skippable episode.

wow that old woman is hopeless

shit "art"

david hockney works are not worthy of forgery, maybe use them as toilet paper

this show kinda pisses me off

listen jonboy it is impossible to paint a bad hockney, because all his art was bad...

MMM yes ill need you to work out of your element and style and you need to do it in a hurry with not much help but I will be condescending on and off while you try to meet my demands as a shitty person and to top that off I want to film it as iIbash your spirits throughout and at the end...

Hopeless exercise in futility. What is the point? Take out the history induced technique critique and you are left with the image and just an image. You make art by making art and not copying other artists. Take what you need and leave the rest.

Ned was fucking crap.
