I can't get enough of Boris, I've never seen a man with so much insight.
I truly enjoyed this conversation. The comments like "there is no good French painting; all these impressionists, they're from the north of France, they came from Normandy, and this is not France, this is Norway", absolutely cracked me up. Boris is not wrong! Very informative about many issues. I will have to watch more than once!
Great conversation. I wish it didn't end so soon. I am a beginning landscape painter and Boris is very inspiring.
I cannot travel to a mountain top to paint a landscape on a bird's eye. I am 74 years old, and since I was 13 I have been painting portraits. I usually paint from photos. What do you think? People tell me my paintings are beautiful, but I am self taught. Could afford an elite art school. Painting is my passion, but I do become frustrated sometimes.... I like your videos, and your individuality. I admire you all. Thanks for sharing with us.
Ok then drop a link and let’s see them
This guy is great.
Two things:
An empty rectangle is a field of energy at rest; the finished painting should also be a field of energy at rest: how you achieve that by balancing the elements is your task.
The energy fields of the painter's rectangle have been mapped: these maps are known as the bipartite and tripartite systems; while most artists ignore these as just being some old recipes for composing images, these maps are the representations of the energy hierarchies of the rectangle: these hierarchies can be used to create dynamic asymmetrical paintings.
Can you give or show an example of what you're talking about? Sometimes I can't understand what you're saying. Thanks again for sharing with us your knowledge.
Mr. Boris Koller, why didn't you show us one of your masterpiece? Your discussion makes so much sense. You don't agree on placing your paintings in front of a mirror, and I agree with you. Please show an example of your paintings. I received this video again, and had to comment on it. Thanks for sharing. I wish that I could have learnt from you. My favorites are Rembrandt.
