What a masterclass!!! Thank you, maestro!
This is not art . Sheer bullshit .
Great vid, although in 2024, you've still got a crap video camera.....
really like/appreciate this... Low key, doable, yippy! Sometimes they trying to teach u to paint the taj mahal but we not there yet! I like the 'thank u's' 😸not.sure exact what they about but nice... Glad.to find! I guess them in-house students as well? Good idea! 🙋🏽♀️💐🎊
At 48:48 I wanted to yell stop! But the final painting wasn't half bad ;P Wonderfully explained and demonstrated. Envious of the students!!
Agree.
Crappity crap b s
What a gift :) makes me look at my work and how to improve. Academic learning in my living room. Who would have thought
Could anyone suggest where one can read more about Cezanne's principles to organize the surface?
There’s plenty of books on Cezanne
Excellent tutoriel. Thanks
Generosity. My upmost gratitude to this gentleman artist
what a great teacher and fantastic painter. Wish I could take his classes in real life
Thank you for these. Super helpful, watching them all. Wish I could take his classes in person
He says this dont work for realist but cant you use the abstraction to create eye magnetts and a better composition using this for realism? Andd impressionistic realism? Like a Casey baugh painting or a richard schmidt.
I love how you demonstrate how to work and your explanations. Very clear art education for me. Thank you so much for posting. I have learned a lot.🙏
I think I’m starting to get it!
HIDEOUS PAINTING
Otfinoskiotfinoski8856 Who are you ?
Crapstraction. The hallmark of modernity and individual expression. Nobody gives a shit about your individual expression, experience or personality which you foisted upon the world. Artist are a dime a dozen and art is superfluous. If everything is art then art becomes nothing. Dividing by zero is an Crapstraction. Religion is a man-made Crapstraction. If the only thing that spawns "new art" is affirming the opposite or denial of the past then that too is a formula ergo fucked. Nothing painted nor ever will be painted is "unique" apart from nature. A Madonna painted on a sewer wall and never seen will have the same affect as anyone's "personal expressions" and both are nothing and meaningless. A truth can only be expressed in mathematics. Paint your lies and Crapstractions for fools and delusional idiots like yourself, but don't think I buy into your mumbo-jumbo artistic psycho babble bullshit. I don't. I just enjoy laughing at it 🤣 😂. Thank you. 😅
what medium is he using
v helpful thanks
Mr Durkee, could you confirm the meaning of the words Mr. O'Cain uses? Very curious about the idea of position or the push and pull in an abstract. Is he referring the position in terms of swelling or coming at the viewer and contraction the receding back towards the surface or going under a form?
what is the name of the stuff you're pouring into cups?
never mind I put you on captions :)
Hi I heard ģum àrabìç
All that time to demonstrate an absolute garbage painting. Well done.
Are you seriously having a laugh 😮
Anyone here trying this exercise out? Maybe if a few of us shared out attempts with each other, we could make progress or something.
Classic Andrew Loomis or Edgar Payne on composition.
Feeling compelled to tell folks here stuff I think about as I work - I think the word 'Position' Mr O'Cain uses means the forward and back or push and pull of a form or color and not so much the location of a shape on the picture plane, the left-right-lower-higher, a 2-D idea. ???
My first attempt at this exercise was not too informative and I feel like I need more information to continue. But having a blast giving it shot and trying the broken plane technique. Any one have the Romere Bearden A Painters Mind book? Very pricey book on the market, local library doe not have it and no one has in their system. :(
He was my teacher years ago, thanks for posting this, & we get to see the finished piece! Wonderful 🎨
Does anyone here know of any reading material that might explain the terms he uses in his demos?
A painters mind by romare bearden
@@stephendurkee3115 Thank-you Stephen! I will check it out and some or all of the terms Frank mentions during his demos are explained?
Another good book: Fishing for Elephants by Larry Moore.
@@stephendurkee3115 thank you. Will have to look that one up.
Brilliant
Frank refers to a teacher of his but I can’t quite get the name and the captions don’t help to identify his. Who was he referring to please?
Check the transcript (in the description box)
me too but here is his name: Vaclav Vytlacil, am looking for more info about the terms Franks uses - know any books?
@@tundratraveller1990he refers to Bill and Vid so I still don’t know who he’s referring to. He might mention the full name elsewhere though. 👍🏼
@@donrogers776Hoffman
Also mentioned Hans Hofmann and related is The Painter's Mind book (rare) @@donrogers776
I just happened on your channel Stephen…do you paint?
I don’t get this , he paints with white over white paper. it starts at the top right and that seems to be important, but I don't see the importance of that. he also starts painting the same white in all kinds of corners everywhere. Is it the way he moves the brush from left to right in different directions??
My understanding is this: If we want to create “good” abstract art and not decorative art (which is about harmony, balance, etc) we need to create visual tension in the art piece. Some tension arises in the relationship between positive and negative space(s). He’s using only black and white (both the paint and the paper) to make the spatial relationship more obvious (less complex for us learners). He is using the white paint in different areas to adjust the spatial relationship so the image gets more and more engaging to the viewer, and thus improving on it. He briefly mentions using the top right corner as an “anchor”. An anchor is important because without one the viewer’s eyes will perpetually wander over the image and never get a sense of rest (tiresome) or might be pushed off the image. He uses the top right corner as the anchor. I am guessing it is here because in Western cultural contexts we read left to right so putting it in the right corner gives the Western viewer a sense of closure.
@@ealykke427 Good answer, I wondered the same but thought that the making of more obvious marks next to the top of the C and the edge of the C more hard edge suggested that the C was above the white background, I noticed too when he says 'coming over', it appears that he allows the gesso to cover part of the black again suggesting that the white was moving over the black. Do you know of any books, articles that explains the terms Mr.O'Cain uses?
@ Oh thank you for taking the time to explain this a bit. I've let it sink in and understand it better now. I will watch the video again with this explanation in mind. thank you🍀
@@donrogers776I am sorry, I don’t know of books that cover his artistic vocabulary. I’m new to abstract art making 😅
@@ealykke427Thank you.
I am two months into Abstract painting and I have never heard any of this…..This is amazing subtle information…Abstacting from my subconscious. pretty powerful. my paintings are dead!
This is so informative. Thank you
For abstract artists…
For both. He is teaching design. All visual artists benefit from learning good design. He has a remarkable way of describing the visual.
Great video!!! What a nice lesson, very valuable, Thank you!
Thanking you so much as this showed us a lot of ideas to start a painting
I could watch this guy for ever, great energy and repose.
Don't follow how does this look good
The sound on this video is great!
I really enjoy listening to this artist discussing his process. It really is helping me understand how to better consider my own decisions and techniques. These lessons are invaluable. Thank you for posting these videos.
Dies Mr. O'Canin give assignments or do the students work from that huge, crazy-looking still life set up? Was was wondering too, if Mr. O'Cain teacher, Vaclav Vytlacil, give assignments. I would enjoy working on an assignment to gain more understanding if the ideas O'Cain talks about.
Thank you!
Thank-you Stephen for these videos of Frank O'Cain teaching, explaining and demonstrating such important and facinating concepts of color and painting.
Thank you for these videos they are a gift !!!!
Excellent instruction from this guy!
How wud u simplify so much detail? I have trouble leaving a place for eye to rest.
Any suggestions where I can learn, read about this color planes Mr. O'Cain keeps mentioning?
Thank-you for posting these art education gems. This demo using color4d paper was such a great idea and easier understood! Yes a gift!
Yes Mr O'Cain's talk is hard to follow but I am hearing solid tips i.e. wait till it dries for a couple days to judge the work, work thin at first so you can adjust and change. And I as I suspected - a Hans Hoffman student through his teacher Vaclav Vytlacil at the art students league.
