Thank you for the video. I have found the videos very helpful. I might not like all of the artists but there is always something to learn from others. Thank you for making me appreciate David Hockney's work and understand it a bit more.
Hi Ana, thanks for sharing. That's actually the point of it all, hoping that you and the others find something useful. What I noticed making all these videos is that all artists have something special, what I love to share. And it's a fun challenge for me that sometimes works well. Happy painting, Albert
Hi. Thanks for the great videos. Very inspiring! Can you explain about the acrylic gloss medium you use? I tend to use water to thin my paint. The mdium you use looks very runny?
Hi Ivor, thanks. I work on paper and can't use water, it would ruin my paper. The acrylic medium you can buy anywhere. Normally it is a little thicker, but I diluted it (1+3) and works also. It's cheaper, I'm Dutch 😁 Bye, Albert
Hi Kathe, thanks. If I would do it again, I would still do it differently, just as I mentioned in the video. But hey, it's al about learning, so it's okay. Have a nice day, Albert
I loved seeing the images of your students' work...so varied and fun. Also, really cool to see how you painted over your painting - it was like superimposing two styles, right on top of each other. I'm working on a David Hockney lesson plan that's elementary school-aged friendly. haha wish me luck ;)
@@ImperfectPaintings Thanks Albert! He’s pretty awesome. Here’s the painting I just finished 🙏 drive.google.com/file/d/1baFj5kva_GdL8kOXuWCesJ9fQGzmXf2i/view?usp=drivesdk
Hi Rainbow, it looks gorgeous. Lovely bright colors. His version is such an interesting painting lots of details, the longer you look at it the more you see and understand his way of working. Have a wonderful day, Albert P.S. do you know his book 'a history of pictures for children? With Martin Gayford? Interesting ideas. Check it out.
You are not a great painter....(?)..So what?? You are great teacher. You've been teaching a lot about the artists and their styles, giving good exercises to improve my skills. Now is up to me to keep working to make my paintings better and different. Thank you!
Hi Lucia, you're completely right. And I don't mind. I enjoy what I do and it's always up to you what to do with what I show. And most of all it's important to have some fun. Happy painting, Albert
Thanks Jillian, there are many ways to look at subjects, art and creating your version. No right or wrong, i suggest to just enjoy whatever you do, at any skills level. Albert
I used to paint - it was my first love. Then I stopped, yet remained interested. I genuinely struggle to understand the acclaim achieved by David Hockney. My friend told me I was insufficiently intelligent to appreciate Hockney’s work. Oh well.
Hi Colin, nothing wrong with you. It speaks to you or not. A lot of famous artist also just happened to be on the right spot at a certain time and/or have influential friends or whatever. Some people prefer wine over beer, I don't drink alcohol at all. I love the options. Thanks for dropping by, Albert
Nice presentation. Your painting was promising half way through but then you overworked it unfortunately in my opinion. Nice to see students work as well. Very enjoyable
Hi Peter, thanks for commenting. It happens sometimes, but that's part of the game. I'm learning every day and I'll take a second look to check you point. Yes, works of the painting class are always nice to see/show. Bye, Albert
There is no reason to paint like Hockney, unless you are just copying a work to see if you get something that you can identify with.It's a good exercise but again, no reason to base your work on his style.
Thanks, Coz. It's just an exercise. It's about making a painting, just for fun, for whoever might like to try once. Art is approachable, it's fun to look at. That's all. Thanks for dropping by. Albert
Hi Gary, thanks for sharing your opinion. Do you paint as well? Have you painted like Hockney like I did? What did you find out in the process? I show how I approached it and how difficult it was for me. I would ove to hear from you. Have a happy and healthy day Albert
Imperfect Paintings yes I do paint,I studied illustration and printmaking at RMIT Melbourne in the 1960’s and have painted and taught for the next 55 years. I’ve become very fond of Hockney’s work in the last several years though I was familiar with it for decades and I have tried some drawings and paintings from his “Tunnel” . I stand by what I said about you effort , it didn’t do you or Hockney justice, sorry.
Hi Gary, thanks for your longer reply. I completely agree with your ideas. I'm not a great painter, I try things out and sometimes it doesn't work out. My channel name is imperfect paintings and unfortunately sometimes they are. But I don't mind, I show also what doesn't work out. I document my traveling through the art world. Thanks again for coming back to me. Have a nice day, Albert
@@garyroberts3859 I don’t think you understand what’s going on on this channel. This isn’t about making a masterpiece or even a good piece of art . It’s about making an attempt at seeing how the artist sees, trying and learning. You are critiquing something that isn’t even the intent, goal or result of the video. You are really funny and stuck in your narrow view point in my opinion. Also you didn’t explain how it went or what you learned from the paintings and drawings that you tried in Hockney’s style. I see this as an unwillingness to be vulnerable because of fear or maybe you just forgot and would like to share your experience and lessons with us now. I am interested.
Hi Steven, thanks. That is always the problem when you have this image in your head and your artwork doesn't match with it. Just let go and be happy with what you have. Bye, Albert
It was a very stupid title and an unnecessary workshop, and it was ridiculous and something like making yourself funny. Let's assume that these brush strokes have nothing to do with Hockney and you can imitate it perfectly. How will you feel like it? Perhaps the 68 generation experienced the effects of World War II or a little more. If there was more of an analysis video, I would understand the post-hockney after matisse and van gohg, but it did not appeal to anyone other than popular culture lovers, otherwise I am sure it would be ridiculous, it may be popular culture, but fortunately there are people who read art history and who are not caught in the curious train. Thank you for the unnecessary video, thank you for printing this article from the translation. Hi hockneys.
Hi MisterJoker, you got me puzzled. I read your comment again and I am still puzzled by it. I sense something like modern art is not art in it. Also that you don't like the video. But why would you whatch this video if you don't like Hockney? Why such a long comment? I'm still puzzled. Does 'Have a nice day anyway' help perhaps? Albert
How can you learn to paint like someone who can barely draw or paint himself. What are you going to do, copy the way he paints tree branches so that yours don't look like branches either. Has the man even looked at a tree in his life, I dunno, I would guess not.
Hi Jack, interesting thoughts. And you give the answer also. It is all about looking at things and about painting. Do it more often and you will get better, or develop a personal style you like. When you enjoy painting who cares how other people judge? Have a happy day, Albert
Hi Jack, thanks for your reaction.. I don't have to like all art. I just look at it, see something and try if I can make a painting in that style. I just like to paint at my skill level and teach people at beginners level. It helps a lot of people how look at art and how to improve their painting skills. It's about enjoying your hobby and making art approachable. In Hockney I like his bold use of color, silly perspective, weird trees. And it's fun to try it and finding out it's quite difficult to mix his colors from the colors you have at hand. But you can only experience this when you actually try painting it yourself. It got me to the the point that I can learn from everybody and love to look at all sorts of art. Have a happy day, was nice talking to you, Albert
Very great and informative video. Thanks a lot,
Thanks, Conrad. Happy painting. Albert
I’m learning and enjoying. Thank you
Thanks, Kate. Happy painting, Albert
After watching hundreds of instructional videos for my painting course in France, I come across your videos... What a relief! Thank you Albert.
Hi Maartje, thanks. Could you be so kind to name a thing or two what you like or gives you relief? I would love to hear. Bye, Albert
I loved this video. I thank you and your students for sharing their work. I am so impressed with the results.
Hi Elsa, thanks. I like it to share all their work because you can see more variations, options and choices. Happy painting, Albert
I am addicted to your video ;)
Thanks lolli, enjoy making your own artwork. Albert

Thanks, Enrica. Yes, I have. Several. Just browse a litte. Collage or paint. Albert
You are marvellous 👏😊

Leuk om deze video met de verschillende stappen te zien. Ga zo door en ik ga je volgen, bedankt.
Bedankt voor je reactie. Schilder je zelf ook? Fijne dag, Albert
Woooow
David Hockney, also one of my favourites....thank you!!Love it

Don’t think it looks much like a Hockney, more childish , less professional

Imperfect Paintings you needed more “marks” Hockney is a master of marks and of colour, your colours were so dull in comparison
