Interpreting Great Paintings #3: 'The Song of Love' (1914) by Giorgio de Chirico
Join me as I present my interpretation of Giorgio de Chirico's wonderful painting 'The Song Of Love' . Painted in June/July 1914 in Paris, it is a metaphysical conundrum that I believe was part of a conversation with other influential thinkers of the time, including his friend the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, and the work of the philosopher Nietzsche.
I decode the symbolism - both obvious and hidden - and bring it together to reach a perhaps slightly startling conclusion!
This painting has been subjected to many different interpretations, and if you have your own I'd love to hear about them in the Comments - it would be great to have our own conversation about this joyful work!

How Lucian Freud Mixed His Paints: Palette and Color Study of 'Frances Costello' (2002)
Просмотров 28 тыс.3 года назад
Lucian Freud's expressionist portraits are widely admired, and often students say that they want to 'paint like that'. In this video I show how he uses a very small palette of paints to achieve a wide range of colors, and give some insight into his working methods. Lucian Freud's palette was a variation on the Old Master palette (yellow ocher; red ocher; black; white). The palette I use here co...
Interpreting Great Paintings #2: 'Guernica' (1937) by Pablo Picasso
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.3 года назад
Picasso's 'Guernica' is a considerable painting by any measure: its scale, the importance of its subject matter, and the depth and complexity of its symbolism. In this video I present another of my personal interpretations of a great artwork. While many elements of the painting are relatively clear, I believe there is a lot of other symbolism hidden within the work. I share with you the results...
How Cezanne Mixed His Paints: Palette and Color Study of 'Still Life With Fruit Bowl' (1879-80)
Просмотров 26 тыс.3 года назад
Paul Cezanne was an incredibly sophisticated painter who, as a Post-Impressionist combined new methods with old traditions. Join me as I explore one of his amazing still-life paintings by mixing his palette and painting a color study. Cezanne was an incredibly precise painter. He paid intense attention to how he mixed and placed his colors, and was meticulous in how he used brushwork to create ...

Просмотров 3,7 тыс.3 года назад
Please join me as I start a new series of videos interpreting great paintings by looking at 'The Studio' by Philip Guston. My approach to interpretation has four basic steps: - firstly try to make your own initial interpretation without reference to books, articles, or even videos like this one! - secondly, test your interpretation by looking at other works by the same artist, and paintings by ...
How Luc Tuymans Uses Complementary Colors: Palette and Color Study of 'The Rabbit'
Просмотров 10 тыс.3 года назад
In this video I explore the contemporary artist Luc Tuymans's enigmatic painting 'The Rabbit', and use it to show how two-color mixing can be used for complementary colors by mixing the palette and producing a Color Study. Along the way we will see what a great painter Tuymans is, and how his work shares surprising similarities with Cezanne in his brushwork, color choice and way of laying down ...

More From Marlene Dumas: 'We Were All In Love With The Cyclops' Palette and Color Study
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 года назад
In this video we will again see how Marlene Dumas deploys 'traditional' painting techniques in the service of her own unique conceptual vision. We will look in detail at her large painting 'We Were All In Love With The Cyclops' (1997) and I investigate her color mixing and palette by creating a small color study. Along the way we will see how Dumas is influenced by Monet's mixing, Cezanne's use...
How To Mix Greens (Part Two): Two-Colour Mixing
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.4 года назад
Greens are often the most confusing color for people to mix, especially when they are starting out. In this video we look at how to mix 'natural' greens for trees, leaves and grass etc. which are in general yellow-greens. In previous videos we have looked at how to mix blue-greens, and we have also seen that many greens are in fact shades of yellow. My 'target' color is sap green, and we will s...
How Marlene Dumas Paints Ambiguity: 'In The Beginning' Palette and Color Study
Просмотров 4,9 тыс.4 года назад
Marlene Dumas is proof of the importance of color mixing to contemporary painters. Her work straddles the boundary between traditional painting and conceptual art, and she is adept at deploying old techniques for new purposes. In the same way that Edward Hopper's work is concerned with communicating alienation, Dumas actively embraces ambiguity and irresolution, and as we saw with Hopper, her p...
How Monet's Palette Developed: Painting The Air Itself
Просмотров 5 тыс.4 года назад
'Haystacks, Midday' (1890) is a great example of Claude Monet's mid-career work, and shows the effects of his decision to stop using earth colors and black and move completely to an Impressionist palette. In this video I explore his new way of mixing by creating a color study of this painting, and show you how he achieved his amazing range of beautiful colors. His friend, the painter Manet, sai...
How to Mix Blues: Two-Colour Mixing
Просмотров 7 тыс.4 года назад
Blues are one of my favorite colors to mix. You can get such a rich range of colors from the vibrant hues through to the most subtle grays, especially with two-color mixing. In this demonstration, I use a 12 color palette so that we can explore mixing shades and tints of blue fully: - alizarin crimson - rose madder - cobalt violet - dioxazine purple - ultramarine blue - cobalt blue - cerulean b...
How Monet's Palette Developed: The Reader or Springtime
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.4 года назад
Join me in exploring another of Claude Monet's exquisite paintings - 'The Reader' - by creating another of the color studies that I find so enlightening. Painted in 1872 we will see that Monet had expanded his palette beyond the Old Master colors he was using for the last painting we looked at (The Beach at Trouville, 1870). By this stage his palette consisted of: - yellow ocher - cadmium yello...
How to Mix Browns: Two-Colour Mixing
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.4 года назад
Mixing browns often confuses people because brown is not a color in that it does not appear on the Color Wheel. However, once you understand that 'brown' is just a shade of orange, how to mix it becomes a lot clearer, especially with two-color mixing. In this demonstration, I also use a more restricted palette that the full 18 color palette that I normally use, and you will see the advantages (...
How Monet's Palette Developed: Starting At The Beach
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.4 года назад
Claude Monet's palette changed considerably as he developed his ideas about color and in this video we join him near the start of that journey in 1870, painting en plein air at the beach at Trouville. Join me as I delve into this delightful and deceptively subtle painting. We will see how at this point he was still basically using an Old Master palette - yellow ocher, red ocher, black, white wi...
