These series are so enlightening. After watching several, I definitely am sensing John's desire to help his audience understand the difficulties in stepping out of your own "style" and getting into the head and mind of a master. I feel sympathetic to the difficulty in what he actually accomplished, which is its own genius, though not appreciated by the art critics. In the end, it has come full circle as he is now teaching us how to bend, flex, and empathize with another, fellow artist, to FEEL what is felt at the moment of creation, and to record that feeling and thought, in the magic of the moment and medium. Beautiful really. Thank you John for your own genius and for sharing it with the world so that we may understand, just a bit better, what it truly takes to create our own masterpieces! Well done.
So lucky to have a gifted teacher , I love this teacher. He is so wise in his teaching he is kind and yet very careful in how he explained his knowledge of his gift
Think of it as if you were sketching with a pencil instead of a brush and go as fast as you can.This is what Monet did.Don't forget that Monet was very productive and developed his technique over many years of hard work.Cheers from Canada!
Very interesting to read this. I didn’t know that Monet did it as quickly as you say. Do you have a source for this that I can check out? Would love to hear more about the sketching with a brush aspect. Thanks!
What absolutely charming folks all 4 of these artist are. ..esp. both men. I kept wishing to give the girl something to tie all that hair back until she was done. I love this series.
I agree with Wencelav below who said John should have never gone to jail. He has sooo much expertise in art history, artists, dates, work, their lives and how they painted. John is truly the jewel in the crown of the art world in learning each artists brushstrokes, colour and, styles. To put John in Jail was a complete waste of a vital human resource whose self education in this field demonstrably and ideally could have helped a variety of institutions and organizations. Those unable to see past punishment is a sad, depressing and unfortunate result of a dull, resourceless, pitiful mindset.
Really enjoyed this! Especially after reading The Conman by Laney Salisbury & Aly Subo which explains John's intro. Excellent programme, well presented and looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
I find these series very inspiring - its a really good way of getting a feel of great artists, their techniques and style - and I like the very clear advice and ideas of how to cope with the different artists.
He outlived poor Camille... I have always believed some of his sculptures were actually hers and I am not the only one who thinks this... she died impoverished and they claimed she went insane... so tragic
the old lady was confident in the beginning "I have the ability to adapt" and talked like she knew what to do. She ended up being the worst. Kevin's painting was really good.
It is surprising that the art student seemed unaware that copying paintings by masters is a time-honored method of learning to paint. Confusion with the originals was seldom a problem. Of course, there is a difference between copying a painting and attempting one's own original 'in the style of' a well-known painter. (A hand-held palette allows for the mixing & matching of more colors & protects the painter from absorbing pigments & other substances.)
I think she was more used to oil paints, which is why she was trying to get an impasto effect. In acrylics you need heavy bodied paint or medium to achieve this. They were using stay wet palettes to prevent the acrylic from drying, I'm not sure you can get hand-held versions of these.
I find the term Impressionist does not explain the intention behind the work. What I understand about Monet is he is 'inside the landscape', he removes 'anecdotal content'. His painting doesn't tell a story about anything, because that is a distraction - it simply exists. His technique is to create endless vibrations of colour to remove boundaries of objects - so the painting pulsates with life. The girl was the closest to this spirit in my opinion.
John Burman Well, the classification impressionist was used as an insult at that time. The term ... well, read more art history. Apart from that, Monet was one of the most inspiring artist, in my eyes.
+John Burman The very term "Impressionism" defines the way of working and is the essence of the style. The intention was to get a feeling or "impression" of the landscape or scene and to infuse it with feeling, memory and emotion. Monet's paintings tell the story of many things: his emotion, his feeling for the landscape, his travels, his sense of place and his sense of mood, light and atmosphere.
+Julia Hrivnak Funny isn't it that we all think we have an idea of what Monet was trying to do in his painting when he is not here to tell us. Ridiculous really that I imposed my own ideas - but that is what us lesser talents do.
+John Burman Impressionism is like viewing the world through the eyes of someone who is terribly near sighted. As someone who is terribly near sighted - I get it :p
The one thing I looooooooooooooove about this video is I can actually look at myatt painting in monet's style. I am struggling on how to put the short strokes in monet's style and now I know :)
The giant step away from photo realism was a shock to the art public at the time. Artists (like Monet), at the forefront of this shift felt that, since photography existed to capture a true to life image, it freed them to explore outside of realism. They wanted to convey the feel and idea of what they were painting, and instead of spending weeks and months on one painting in the studio, worked at quickly imparting the colour, feeling, and contrast of a scene. The intention was to complete a canvas quickly before light levels changed too much. Details were suggested rather than painstakingly rendered, and the finished result gave a sense of life and motion as opposed to the static appearance taught in the schools. To me it is kind of like superimposing a half dozen frames of film versus a single frame. It breaks the lines up and allows that sense of movement and change to the viewer. Rather like looking out the window of a moving train. His style of teaching this is quite wonderful, and I’m sure these artists gained a lot from the exercise. No doubt they were able to use the experience in later projects.🖤🇨🇦
There is a specific juiciness to using oil paint for impressionistic work, not the sloppy slosh of many premixed tubes of today and I would not imagine I’d be happy with any other medium, especially for painting broken brush strokes in the field. Monet also used far more colors and employed optic blending. His greens were not just greens but had plenty of rich reds and violets as well. He nearly never used straight yellow. I did find watching this entertaining. So, thank you!
I use heavy body acrylics and can do anything with them that oils can do, especially if I add retarder for overblending. Usually though, I do half-tone blending or optical blending.
7:35 …🤣 “yes I‘m going to incorporate that into my foreground this bramble there with the lovely blackberries“ Then he proceeds to go over and start eating a bunch of them😆
It is not hard to paint a copy of a painting, it it hard to paint your own, standing outside, light conditions changing quickly. Also, I wouldn't choose acrylics for landscape as they dry too fast and don't blend easily. My choice is oil. Anyway, I like this series and John sounds like a great teacher. I wish there was more episodes than they did. Great TV show!
Don't be ridiculous,of course I don't wear Armani suits when I paint - I wear just the one Armani suit . It'd be a bit uncomfortable painting in more than one suit and difficult to roll up the sleeves.I also find that a top hat and while gloves make good sartorial accessories for the painting experience ( and they go well with some of my other breezy Saville Row numbers )...in fact Jeeves ( my valet - he holds my easel for me so that I can just concentrate on the brushes ) often insists on it .
Thokkerius What if she paints every day, sells everything she paints - but couldn't manage without her pension/savings? Is she still an enthusiastic amateur? Just asking - it's a tricky distinction when something becomes your sole occupation but you couldn't live on the income. More importantly, why does the 'professional' label matter so much to people? Possibly because the alternative, 'amateur' suggests a lack of seriousness and commitment.
Lots of fun. Monet worked on his paintings many sessions and sometimes finished them in the studio. He also started off with small strokes. So, these artists were trying to do a Monet alla prima. It doesn’t work that way.
What kind of paints are they using ? ... Monet worked in oils but they were given paint and water .. I am confused .. : / That said.. it was a really fascinating video .. entertaining ... so .. I am NOT complaining .. lol ! : ]
Thank you so much for the upload, I really enjoy watching the show! They're using acrylics and I wonder how they are able (not only in this part, but there are also others taking place outside) to paint / blend respectively mix and use mixes from the palette for such a long time. Do they use loads of water? But you would see that in the outcome on the canvas, wouldn't you? And they aren't using a stay-wet-palette? Sometimes you see that they are taking paint from the bottle/can, putting it onto the palette and paint - so I don't think they're using something like a retarder either. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this. Cheers from Germany!
How great would be if he would have at least a weekly class teaching how to paint a landscape demonstration for us to follow and learn, something like Bob Ross only better
She also claimed in the beginning that since she was not stucked into one specific way of painting, she would be adaptable. That turned out very different. I think that shows that many of us have lacking insight to our real strenghts and weaknesses. I think its very common... especially when asked infront of a camera in a TV production; most of us will try to hide our less strong abilities... just an observation
We own an original painting bye John wyatt and with picture light's and couler lights the paintings change with different lights,john wyatt is a fantastic painter,in privileged to of met him.he was fantastic
does anyone know if there is a way to get in touch with this person or show? I would love to see a show like this on Turner. I want to see someone do his style of work. The only one I have see is Tom Keating.. Listed here on this page. I would love to see more..
Char, I was thinking the same as you. I would love to see a show like this on Turner he was one of the greats out of Britain. I loved his technique the way he painted was ahead of the time he was in. I have a book "How to paint like turner" I got at a used bookstore (lucky find) by Tate 2010, its very good it briefly discusses his bio,materials and colors he used techniques specifically for subjects.
I have watched the one Tom Keating did also. That {Tom} is wonderful. Have you went through the Tate Museum with Google Maps Street View? That is a fun experience.
Forgot to mention I have the book also How to paint like Turner. My first painting trying to follow directions didn't come out very good at all. The next one wasn't Horrible, although I don't know if I would show anyone! LOL..
Char, Please do not feel bad about your painting. It takes a lot of practice, but I do know how you feel. When I have an idea for a painting the end result is nothing like I pictured in my head. I have heard this is common even with professionals. Take pressure off yourself, know that if you are committed to this it takes lots of time. Being creative is not something you can hurry up. I felt that way for a while, so if I am not painting I am reading and take notes in my art journal. I also am signed up with artist tv and art tudor I pay a monthly fee both are around 19.00$ each and can watch videos as much and any time 24/7. There are hundreds of videos that cover so many mediums, color theory, lots and lots on technique. I watch a video I am interested in take notes and then get my paints ready and watch it again and paint along. It really helps to follow thru and practice afterward too.But there are times when its good to just get out and take a break from it all. Go out for a walk or watch a movie. Your brain needs periodic breaks from study so it can process info, I have to force myself to do this because I feel I have so much to learn still. I just love art and learning to paint the last few years has been challenging but a pleasure too. Best wishes on your endeavor if you want someone to look at your painting you can send it to me privately no judgements here.
I hope the students can do a Van Gogh landscape ....seems to me Van Gogh tried to be an impressionist but turned out to be an expressionist kind of impressionist.
That's the only thing I'm good at, copying any painting, but i suck on any original I try to do. I guess I'll never make into in the Metropolitan Museum, bummer..
There is a tendency for people to see what they are thinking rather than what they are really seeing. I would invite painters to look into the work of Douglas Harding, as he explains this difference. Harding was not a painter, but his philosophy applies and is helpful.
2B87 Either way is acceptable. However Dutch people pronounce it neither way. (Van Gogh being Dutch) They make a sound in the back of the throat a little like in the Scottish language when they pronounce Loch it Is like clearing the back of the throat.
He isn't a good forger, and! yes they should go to jail, it is a crime to profit from a fake signature, would you be alright with a criminal stealing from you in the same way? No! of course you wouldn't, now think about your words, and see if you still agree with them.
@@ScoriacTears What are you talking about? The images he made are practically indistinguishable, and that's why they were used as reference in this show.
That hair .. blowing in Emma's face ! omg ! It would drive me NUTS ! Maybe it would have been better to think more about the painting than having her long locks flowing in the breeze..
I'm surprised at the choice of barren landscape given that the vast majority of monets are flowery. I was expecting something more technical but found it to be largely vacuous and a completely pointless exercise.
I can't fathom how 'experts' couldn't tell the difference between oil and acrylic. 90% of the time I see a picture of a painting, I can accurately tell whether it was oil or acrylic. I imagine it's only easier when you can or can't see into the paint. Although, if there's no glazes or transparent paint, it wouldn't be as noticeable.
please, please! Do you really think Monet, Van Gogh, Derain, even Picasso have learned the "theory of colors" before they began? Weird that you found 8 idiot to share your poor views...
I hope the young girl uses non-toxic paint. If she mixes cadmium or cobalt in her hand she poisons herself - one painter died because he did that, mixing paint loaded with heavy metals in his hand.
John should be back on TV these programmes are so good !
He didn't pull his punches in this instalment 👍

I always admired the great impressionist, Monet and Van Gogh are two of my favorite impressionist
Van gogh was a post Impressionist
Jamie Xavier neo impressionist
Monet, being a heavy smoker and dying of lung cancer at 86, he got a pretty good deal!
yes, I thought the same
yes he outlived all the impressionists and become the father of impressionism. He had a great innings.
I caught that too. Gives me a reason to keep smoking.
He outlived poor Camille... I have always believed some of his sculptures were actually hers and I am not the only one who thinks this... she died impoverished and they claimed she went insane... so tragic
I was born 100years after Monet,in 1940 .I love his paintings I'm a non smoker hopefully I'll live beyond 2026 ,as I'm 80years old this year. 🎨🎨😎👍
Thank you for up loading these videos.
Oh how I miss this series! Please bring it back.
the old lady was confident in the beginning "I have the ability to adapt" and talked like she knew what to do. She ended up being the worst. Kevin's painting was really good.
I agree. She consider herself a professional artist but maybe this just wasn’t her style to be comfortable with!
I'm a 1rst, well I guess a 2nd yr art student now. This series has been a help on working out techniques and is damn entertaining to!😷

I would like to see him do a video about the Canadian painters, the Group of 7.
FINALLY
They actually get people that know how to paint and for the first time the results aren't garbage.
I love the way John teaches and if you have a problem or a block he does try to help. I wont to take lessons from him. Really I do!
Wow ! what a misguided tool.
So enlightening! I learned a lot for sure. Thank You!

thGory1 I know this comment is 4 years old. But I just saw it and letting you know it didn't go over my head. So funny.
I know nothing about art but love this show ....
I hope they revisit monet or another impressionist painter again would love to see if anyone can pull it off
Margret: "I consider my self as a professional artist" hahahaha oooh boy.
If you make money on your art, you're a professional; it's not really a subjective thing.
That's what I always state when the word "professional" ( and contraction pro' ) is used
@@Jay_Sullivan
Correct; you are either professional or not a professional.
So why say, "I consider myself as professional".
Or why even brag about it?
Her problem is she can't get past what's in her mind. She doesn't know how to observe the things around her.

En Piein Aire...fun to watch...wish I was there
Sky Arts and the BBC should have more of these types of shows!!!
It would drive me absolutely nuts being coached by this guy while I am trying to paint
Wonderful video!
Hope young Emma knows the dangers of putting the Cadmins onto your skin or Zinc White..... Lovely video .
Lots of fun. Monet worked on his paintings many sessions and sometimes finished them in the studio. He also started off with small strokes. So, these artists were trying to do a Monet alla prima. It doesn’t work that way.
brilliant that you share your knowledge and experience
She's just a stunning human being.
Beautiful ❤
What kind of paints are they using ? ... Monet worked in oils but they were given paint and water .. I am confused .. : / That said.. it was a really fascinating video .. entertaining ... so .. I am NOT complaining .. lol ! : ]
Kevin got the gold star of this group I think.
Thank you so much for the upload, I really enjoy watching the show!

Personal lubricant is often used to extend the drying time of acrylics.
They're using the Daler Rowney Stay-Wet palette. I recognise it, though I don't own that brand.
the first paint is in Utrillo's style, the second in Cezanne, and the third i can see Gauguin
Good call on Utrillo!
How great would be if he would have at least a weekly class teaching how to paint a landscape demonstration for us to follow and learn, something like Bob Ross only better
Kevin, amazing for Cezanne. Emma, amazing, love it. Margret, composition is there, keep going.
I actually hoped for an insight how Monet painted, his method and thinking. Not a painting class on paint a landscape without much information either.
FFS its "forgers Masterclass" a half hour show you asswipe
I think Margaret missed the point completely.
She also claimed in the beginning that since she was not stucked into one specific way of painting, she would be adaptable. That turned out very different. I think that shows that many of us have lacking insight to our real strenghts and weaknesses. I think its very common... especially when asked infront of a camera in a TV production; most of us will try to hide our less strong abilities... just an observation
A first clue that someone can’t paint is when they call themself and “abstract painter.”
We own an original painting bye John wyatt and with picture light's and couler lights the paintings change with different lights,john wyatt is a fantastic painter,in privileged to of met him.he was fantastic
so excited to watch this
Emmas colors were realy good, it looks a bit like a quick study in composition and color interpretation

great. thank you.
Margaret ..a student fm hell🤣🤣🤣
That's the only thing I'm good at, copying any painting, but i suck on any original I try to do. I guess I'll never make into in the Metropolitan Museum, bummer..
I love Monet work at Giverny. That is where he did water lilies of all different types.
John can we paint along with your students and do your Masterclass with them?
Doing a painting in pure colors right away is not easy. Very challenging.
Do you see Sean Connery in Claude Monet's face at the 1:35 mark? He could play Monet, don't you think?
love this series, more please. j
how long were these painters working for? was it not difficult to paint a landscape which is always changing?
From a pro to amateur in just one day,...congrats to old lady
There is a tendency for people to see what they are thinking rather than what they are really seeing. I would invite painters to look into the work of Douglas Harding, as he explains this difference. Harding was not a painter, but his philosophy applies and is helpful.
Did Kevin really sign the painting Van Monet? What?
Beautiful English countryside....
This is like a painting game show. There is very little instruction in it. For entertainment purposes its good.
I wanna paint Emma Renoir style.
Where can I buy paintings from John Myatt
The young girl killed it. If she had more time to build it up it would have been quite special..
it can be but you try to get the basic and find the mood you like
How is a landscape "Timeless"?
Thank you so much!
...van goffff, too good XD funny britains it's goGH!

What is the name of the painting from Monet they are referencing from?
The girl had no foreground element, I think the teacher went easy on her

a (good) forger should never go to jail, idiots who dont know how to recognize a true master should.
Wenceslao Futanki and then we go to museums to admire good forgers works. Lol.
He isn't a good forger, and! yes they should go to jail, it is a crime to profit from a fake signature, would you be alright with a criminal stealing from you in the same way? No! of course you wouldn't, now think about your words, and see if you still agree with them.
He has made over 200 forgeries and only 80 have been returned, so that makes for a pretty good forger to me.
@@ScoriacTears What are you talking about? The images he made are practically indistinguishable, and that's why they were used as reference in this show.
@@truedantell Practically indistiguishable is not good enough thankfully, and. . .
well that's all really.
Speaking of his clients for copies: "...but if I should mention the footballing profession ..." lol
I so would have done this'! Perhaps I need to go to Giverney and paint!
That hair .. blowing in Emma's face ! omg ! It would drive me NUTS ! Maybe it would have been better to think more about the painting than having her long locks flowing in the breeze..
I'm surprised at the choice of barren landscape given that the vast majority of monets are flowery. I was expecting something more technical but found it to be largely vacuous and a completely pointless exercise.
#Thats hardly barren ya twat,what the fck would you know anyway dipstick
Came for monet,
stayed for emma.
poor emma.
Is that guy really painting with house paint?? I've tried that. It has no viscosity. Okay with a 4 inch brush but not a tiny one. It dripped so much.
the presenter has the passive-aggressive art teacher impression down
I can't fathom how 'experts' couldn't tell the difference between oil and acrylic. 90% of the time I see a picture of a painting, I can accurately tell whether it was oil or acrylic. I imagine it's only easier when you can or can't see into the paint. Although, if there's no glazes or transparent paint, it wouldn't be as noticeable.
Monet is always Monet ;)!
So the last lady is going to have to try at a Picasso :-) Good Luck! :-) She never said exactly which phase of Picasso, did she? ;-)
Mina Vita she should stick with doing Margaret’s. That’s what she’s good at and she’s the only one. Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.
Who puts paint on their hand like that?
Emma...where did I go astray?....
If you want to do Impressionism you need to know colour theory and observe how it works in nature.
please, please! Do you really think Monet, Van Gogh, Derain, even Picasso have learned the "theory of colors" before they began? Weird that you found 8 idiot to share your poor views...
@@joetke Are you fucking stupid? Of course THEY LEARNED IT. What do you think?
I hope the young girl uses non-toxic paint. If she mixes cadmium or cobalt in her hand she poisons herself - one painter died because he did that, mixing paint loaded with heavy metals in his hand.
