yes yes 100%

So he slurps, but does he owe you guys anything?

People vote with their feet and wallet. Look where people go on their holidays.

His work feels so achievable and unachievable at the same time. He's truly a genius.

Also I love this song❤ like my 6th favorite form the drugs

That’s pretty cool!

This is a wonderful video, I really leaned a lot. A small suggestion, as screen space is so important, I don't think having the distraction of your head moving in the corner of the screen adds much. Could be that others really like this approach, so take it with a grain of salt. Thank you for the time it took to make this video.

Very interesting listen, but lots of very biased points and suggesting they don't teach proportions anymore seems a bit silly

The main reasons people want to remain at Modernist architecture are: Going back in time to previous architecture sounds dumb. Going back in time has never been done in history and it shouldnt be done. Going back isnt an option which means we gotta think of something different. But the only current architecture style we have is modernism. So people wanna see it just because it signifies evolution and progress. So just because we only have modernist architecture they want it no matter how ugly and soulless it is. What we need to do is create something new the same way everyone has been doing throughout history. Take the previous architecture, use the classical proportions and add onto it with new buildings techniques or materials. Art Nouveau and Art Deco for example were a good modern continuation of the previous styles because it used iron and steel which were new materials. Modernist architecture was never a continuation of previous architecture. It was something completely new that used no proportions or rules. They basically reinvented the wheel and made it worse which no one asked for.

4 mins and 38 seconds in and you've lost me... your slurping and coughing is the equivalent of someone running their finger nails down a black board.

Very true…

Same BS is happening in the art world.

It seems collage art courses have not changed much in thirty years. We did not have as strong a focus on hating our own culture then, but the past was still considered dead. I see art as a form of communication. It is more subtle that literature, drawing on a shared codex of form and image. The language of art has been built over centuries. It seems extremely foolish to throw it away.

The difference is you're an artist. They're mostly illustrators. Or crafters. And the lookers (us, we, the public) are progressively less used to looking at beautiful things or listening to beautiful music or eating delicious food. It's snowballing. Luckily my children grew up in Italy and one became an artist (MFA) and the other a chef, (now a consultant for high end events). In the States the cultural impoverishment is rampant.

Also tons of glare and kind of careless filming. I'm sure you're very knowledgeable but you have to tighten up the presentation. It's extremely distracting, sorry.

You are great I love your insight and how you do what you love

Painting looks bad. What is the guy doing was he walking on the wall like spiderman? The feet aren't even walking on anything looks so bad

But can you do it with the proper hand drawing?

Chad, you are very wise, so few get everything correct on youtube! I agree with everything you say. Pasini is great, I do wonder about his oils. I read he uses clove oil-which is informative...

Great stuff thank you.

Fascinating. Thanks for

What an amazing drawing. There’s so much clever and interesting stuff going on in there. Thanks for highlighting it and your thoughts on it. I need to go and stare at it some more :)

Very interesting and helpful.

Heya! This is a bit of a modernist perspective, something I would consider to be slightly outdated. I do agree that when considering technique there is art that is more successful and less successful (not "better" or "worse"), however to dismiss works the form of which detaches from the accepted successful tropes of art as of less value is to shun the reason for which they choose to do so, whether that be sociopolitical or personal. When looking at art that catches you off-guard, that appears unorthodox or 'ugly', the correct next step is to ask why that step may have been taken, to trust that the art was made as a reaction that may be valuable, even if to the outsider it must be contextualized with a plaque. After all, all art is made as a response to the world, to reinforce or break down our perceptions. The true indicator of an artwork's value is its efficacy of its portrayal of the artists' convictions! The world is changing and we're exposed to much larger volumes of art than before, some more effective than others, but that has not made it ugly, we just have to update the way we interact with it.

That was interesting but i stopped not even half way this slurping throat noises is disgusting! Respect your wiewers please!

Great Info! I actually enjoyed the laid back slurping! F the system

The original size is ?

Unwatchable

the value has to be correct, and the shape needs to be accurate enough, then it will blend when you back up, otherwise it will still fall apart. people often talk about 'techniques' but overlook the basic drawing skill, the ability to see and render value and shape accurately. this is why the classical training spent years having students drawing casts in charcoal. if you can't draw well, there is no technique can help you make a good painting.

Too many fukn ads

Great video and so timely for me! I am working on a painting composition and it didn't feel right. I'm taking this info and applying it there.

I went to art school years ago and they never covered this as well as you just did. Thanks

From a voice-over artist, and a master instructor, drink water only before recording. Be aware of coughing and throat clearing. Do not do this at all. Edit it out if you cannot control it. The content seems to be sound, but you'll lose subs if you don't clean up and be ready before you record. It makes the viewer feel like you don't care if your product is not attractive and professional. And if you don't care, you lose all credibility, and thus a chance for increased viewership. Take this as an opportunity to improve. That's how it is intended.

Details could be a good thing if they are part of the narrative of the work. The triptychs of Bosch, while not hyperrealistic, are abundant with details that make sense on the work.

SAD

How many layers a painting needs?

Drink your fucking coffe later distusting, gross, annoying

Cool

Simon Pasini's paintings are pulchritudinous! This is really helpful! Thanks! I liked your paintings as well!

That varnish made it for me at the end

Good music taste, great painting too

Please recommend some resources for painting beginner, coz you clearly know your shit :)

Frankly, I prefer the longer videos. More time to let your ideas expand.

I think shape design is as much a tool as color or value or edges. I totally agree that a bottom-heavy shape is subconsciously more comfortable and pleasing for the viewer, which is a super valuable asset to most artists as a common goal for art is to be visually pleasing! However, the use or dis-use of proper shape design can be a super effective tool for increasing the work's pathos and emotional resonance. So while the Girl With the Pearl Earring evokes a sense of calm and stability with its use of shape language, I think the lion den painting is just as valid for its use of turning shape language on its head to create a sense of unease. The painting's setting is supposed to evoke a sense of unease and anxiety and having the main figure's (with such strong body language and expressions) shape go against what the viewer would find comforting totally increases the pathos of the painting. It almost looks like he's about to float away! Same thing with the JSS dancing figure, she looks as if she's on the line between floating or toppling! Goya's Black Paintings would have way weaker emotional appeal if he had used a more standard and pleasant color pallet, I think the same sentiment could be applied to shape language as well.

Un real ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Stop drin whatever, its way anoying

rude! Slurping is a no no and you should not need to be told

Andrew Jackson is easy S tier it’s the most iconic

I always appreciate a video where someone is trying to unlock how someone like Sargent actually executed his paintings. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Good advice. I have recently come to understand that more careful initial renderings, and breaking the canvass into two tones with blocking saves me hours of correcting missteps. I burned a lot of daylight figuring that out. Your video on edges also has me thinking. Thank you for posting.
