My god, this is like watching the master himself paint. This is incredible. I am completely blown away by this man's talent and ability to explain.

Criticism is so easy to dispense. Instead pick up a paint brush and try to apply your abilities to the broard spectrum of this man's abilities. A natural artist, a talent few people have. Very accomplished and inspiration .

I love watching and listening and thinking about Keating’s explanations. So talented! I can’t ever get enough of his teaching.

"The eye is rewarded by looking in to areas and seeing the many colours ". Nice turn of phrase Tom.

Thank you Tom Keating. I know you are on the other side now, but so present here in your teaching. I’m absorbing this gratefully like a sponge

A wonderful experience to watch. Very inspirational. Thank you. :)

This Chap was my art teacher at Ravensbourne College Catford London! He was a great chap! Texture Texture it's all about texture........A couple of us were invited to his house, it was full of half completed frames! I do not think he intended any criminal intentions.

❤️❤️❤️what a master!

These are so wonderful.

Thanks for your insight about Monet and skill in mastering his work. I visited his house and garden when I was last in Paris, Giverny. Wonderful to immerse yourself in his life.

I can't find the article, but I recall this painting sold at the time for 15000 genuine english pounds .. One art critic at the time said something like " 99% of the quality of a Monet at 1% of the value " ... A wonderful masterful painter indeed tho.

Educational and very valuable to an student painter. 😀🇨🇦👍

A pleasure to listen to him, without the hideous music that often accompanies these programmes, and some valuable lessons to learn...

Wonderful. So much to learn. Thank you

Thank you very much!

Tom has delighted me throughout his series on the various techniques employed by artists such as Turner and Rembrandt. There does however remain the question as to how he knew what those techniques were. I've read several art books on many of these 'masters', but all omit to specify the exact nature of their working methodology. "He would have..." is a phrase often used by Tom when discussing these artists but the question remains as to the certainty of his knowledge. He does ultimately manage to capture the essence or style of his subject, but I suspect there are many paths that could achieve the same result.

hi Tom, you are wonderful

😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing

there's something of Cezanne in the buildings, especially around 12:00 minutes or so.

Way to "qualify" the painting, Tom!

Anyone could tell me , what is the introductory music work? Beautiful! Thank you!

These days, we have Bob Ross and his happy little accidents!

This Sr. is amazing .....where i can get more information from him?

Free paint style , but first , you need to study so much light ,color , composition and technique to use oil and varnish times to get a nice process

His painting is amazing but I wonder why he went for a much more somber, subdued color palette than the original?

Things in this I can't believe - eg, that Monet would have painted over varnish (and it wasn't even necessary to do that to achieve the result at the end: I can't work out why he did it). The other thing was the throw-away line that he'd used "a bit of tempera" in the white .... that may well be the way Tom forged paintings, but it surely isn't the way Monet would have painted - unless anyone out there knows better? He's always interesting, but I suspect you need to take a pinch of salt with some of these videos.

Anyone know the mixture for scumbling?

Better than Monet.

No disrespect to Mr. Keating, he was around before the internet and a great many well written books on the subject since his passing, and he has a great manner of talking, but there are some erroneous points being made. Monet, like other impressionists nearly always worked on a light toned ground of some sort, not white. He would not have drawn out his subject matter in pencil or charcoal, but would have made a few marks with a brush, and some rudimentary gestural stokes or rhythms and nothing more, before starting, therefore he would have had a very good idea already in his head about where he was going. He would have begun with some sort of Étude (block in) mostly in fairly thin paint, and would either do several studies that he might return to or work on in his studio, sometimes returning to them again and again over several years. A few of his paintings are compromised of a great many layers, although Monet said he disliked his over worked paintings, and preferred to get it down correctly and simply the first time. There's often a lot drybrush technique, which can generally only be done successfully if the painting is dry beforehand. He leached the excess oil out of his paints with some sort of blotting paper, to keep the pigment drier and more matt. He did not want his finished work to be varnished.

No glazing for Monet

Mr. Keating works far better as an old master or traditional academic. Two missing elements re: Monet - one, the underappreciated surety of brushstroke in even brief outdoor sketches, with half an horizon drawn in a single wide stroke, paint revealing multiple unmixed colors left on each side of the stroke. It was not all small dabs, all the time. Second, greater spectrum of implied colors came from subtle juxtapositions of warm/cool variations, as well as near-complementary optical blends. The Impressionists did not produce a more accurate way of seeing - they took advantage of learning how the eye and brain CAN see and create a mental picture from abstract pieces, which may vary from the measured spectrum of the subject. The semi-opaque blue-gray glaze near the end deadened, rather than heightened, any sense of color vibrancy Monet would have drawn out.

Being he was so very poor for some time, how did he afford to paint?

To my eye this doest look like Monet althought some paiting stakes might be similar.

For an academic artist, he sure is under-educated when it comes to basic color theory. Yellow isn't complementary to blue. Orange is complementary to blue. Yellow is complementary to purple.

virgin ... labored breathing ... blocks

It has nothing to do with the way Monet technique of painting. sorry.

There's nothing pretentious about this bloke!

I don't know what pople see in this guy, that painting is hideous, sorry

Who is this guy? What a fraud. He's terrible!
