Thank you for articulating what makes Mucha Mucha (or even what makes much of Art Nouveau). Hope to try this in the not too distant ... but so much to draw and paint, so little time.
I'd say that the colors are more a light pastel than dull. Dull sounds a little bit too harsh. I like this picture. Thanks for giving us these tips. I also might have done oil painting and would have had some trouble with that because I'd be too impatient to wait for it to dry.
This was perfect❤ I'm using your video to help me paint my mom a birthday gift from our favorite shared artist, but I wanted to incorporate the Lady of shalot You made this much much easier.
Very nice. Your painting turned out really great using oils. Not easy. Can I ask how long it took. I used to love using oils but the wait between drying time just dragged things out. S there a drying agent you use? Your line work and fine detail using oils was especially impressive. A big fan of Mucha. As a graphic designer I feel he was the first to really transition from fine art to design
I enjoyed your video. Brava! And your painting is lovely. As for gesso, you might try Golden Gesso-it's a real gesso (calcium carbonate) but with a synthetic glue rather than a hide glue. Our students at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence, are encouraged to use it. You left out the fact that Mucha always worked from squared-up photos of his models.
Please make a video on Art Nouveau curves and line weight too. I love this video it is so informative Also you aced this! I would be very interested to see you explain/breakdown how to mimic the line work and get the look of an Art Nouveau lithograph or woodcut through painting or drawing alone. Just a slow focus on that would be helpful.
Thanks so much for this! I love Mucha style art and being an artist myself I could not figure out how he achieved the flat paint and beautiful outlines and curls in his paintings.
Not an artist here, just an art nouveau aficionado. Just to point out that you and your dress would be a fantastic Mucha model. I don't know if it was on pourpose, but kind of match the art nouveau aesthetics :P Thanks for the tutorial!
What a great comprehensive video! It really makes me want to try it out myself and you make it so approachable! Definitely going to check out the rest of the channel
In our Creative Industries subject in SHS, our 5th plate is a Pastiche. I chose Alphonse Mucha because I was mesmerised with art nouveau. Watching your video really helped me a lot as a begginer❤️
Maybe you can use ampersand board? It’s expensive tho. Thanks for posting this video. It’s so so so helpful! I would love to see you do a real time painting like this. If it’s 3 hours I don’t care. It’s great to listen to artists while I paint. Easier for you too, no editing!
Subscribed! Thank you for the tips! I’ve tried this style and I’m always feeling like I’m messing up and it doesn’t look like art nouveau when I’m done. Excited to try again!
this is so helpful! i'm recreating one of his panels éte (she has a head full of red flowers and is resting on a branch) for my painting class... this was so helpful in easing my anxiety on how to approach it!!
Hey, great video! I recently fell in love with the art nouveau style, so decided to buy some mucha books, I ordered a few random ones online, but so far, because he has multiple styles, only very small sections of the books have shown his art nouveau / poster style like you demonstrate here ( for example I got that 450 page book and only about 35 of the pages are what I had hoped! ) I just wondered if you could recommend any of his books specifically ones that have the majority art nouveau art work throughout? there are so many and each one seems like a bit of a gamble lol. Thanks in advance
This video is great, I'd love to see more in the same format if you study other art movements or artists! Informative voice-over and beautiful visuals to go with it!
This was a wonderful tutorial. I adore Mucha's work. The only thing that was giving me a nervous tic was seeing you outline before you painted the color in. LOL
Loved the video! Great results. Contrary to popular belief, “Mucha” is not pronounced Moo-ka, or Moo-cha the way Spanish speakers might pronounce it. The correct pronunciation is Moo-ha, with a hard pronounced H
Thank you for this video! Mucha has always been my favorite artist and I'm so happy I found your channel through my research of his style for my current painting. Can't wait to see even more of your content! You remind me of my high school art teacher who really nurtured my artistic spirit.
Mucha was one of the first artists to take a photo of his models and use that to paint off of. He was said to get very agitated with his models moving to much, so he used imagination or photos in his later years....
The first thing you need to learn a Mucha is this name is NOT pronounced like you think it is. It is pronounced Mook hah. He was an immigrant from the Czech Republic ,a place where they speak a language that is very different from English.
Not to be picky or anything it just really bothered me... I am czech and Mucha was too. His name is pronounced a with ch in czech the way you pronounce it would be Muka. Otherwise really helpful! Thanks
Iva Linhartova That makes total sense, I always thought it looked like it would be pronounced with the ‘ch’, but I only heard it pronounced with the ‘k’. I assumed that the ‘k’ sound was because I didn’t speak Czech. Probably should have looked that one up before the video! Thanks!
Brooke Bowen Art I am Czech too, basically the same sound as in the German name “Bach”, but foreigners are usually unable to pronounce it, so I suggest pronouncing “h” rather than “k”. The “ch” sound (in phonetics represented as ‘x’) is very similar to “h”, but like a bit lighter. So say “Mu-hah” rather than “Muka”, well the word muka in Czech means torment lol.
I agree Iva, 100%. Out of respect for the artist and his work, as well as your own credibility, the first thing you should learn about Mucha is the pronunciation of his name.
Well, it's good to know a correct pronunciation ... it's even better to be able to paint so well. There is hardly a famous person whose name hasn't been mispronounced. Get used to it.
I'm guessing that repeating patterns in Mucha's paintings were just traced and copied. This artist's has a natural style with just freehanding the Mucha style flowers and grass.
I would definitely be interested in your thoughts on how to do the nouveau border curl designs.
Geoff Avery I have some great ideas on how to do the border designs and especially that unique curve. I will definitely have to do a video on it!
@@BrookeBowenArt Yes please on this suggestion!
Brooke Bowen Art please!
I'm thinking I have curly ques stencils .use ruler for part of the border
Are animals in art Nueva?
Anyone else wanna paint Brook in the art nouveau style?! WHAT A BEAUTY!
You look like someone Mucha would paint lol. Wonderful video
Thank you for articulating what makes Mucha Mucha (or even what makes much of Art Nouveau). Hope to try this in the not too distant ... but so much to draw and paint, so little time.
As simple as add the bold stroke around the object. It makes awesome drawing. Art Nouveau tell us about what unique and beauty are
I'd say that the colors are more a light pastel than dull. Dull sounds a little bit too harsh. I like this picture. Thanks for giving us these tips. I also might have done oil painting and would have had some trouble with that because I'd be too impatient to wait for it to dry.
You are like one of the woman that apear in Mucha painting.
Thank for the video, i like to paint like Mucha
This was perfect❤ I'm using your video to help me paint my mom a birthday gift from our favorite shared artist, but I wanted to incorporate the Lady of shalot You made this much much easier.

Erica Davis Thank you Erica Davis!
Thank you for sharing thouse tips, now I'm more into starting to draw in art nouveau style
Can you do Katsushika Hokusai ?
Does anyone know exactly what kind of paint Mucha used for these? I can't seem to find this information anywhere. Thanks!
😻
You look like you belong in one of these paintings 🏵️
How do you paint a smooth line around your painting ?
Rod Witmer to get the paint to move more smoothly on the canvas I mix in a little oil medium (whichever you prefer!)
can you use a normal canvas?
hello mom .. here my support (new subscriber here ) :)

Oh god. It's MUCHHHA "sjch"
The first thing you need to learn a Mucha is this name is NOT pronounced like you think it is. It is pronounced Mook hah. He was an immigrant from the Czech Republic ,a place where they speak a language that is very different from English.
Exactly. I am Czech and it is NOT pronounced Mookhah either.
Who care 🙂
"Muka"? Really? I always pronunciated "Mutya"! Jajaja omg!
Not to be picky or anything it just really bothered me... I am czech and Mucha was too. His name is pronounced a with ch in czech the way you pronounce it would be Muka.
Otherwise really helpful! Thanks
Iva Linhartova That makes total sense, I always thought it looked like it would be pronounced with the ‘ch’, but I only heard it pronounced with the ‘k’. I assumed that the ‘k’ sound was because I didn’t speak Czech. Probably should have looked that one up before the video! Thanks!
my profs in art school always pronounced it muka and it drove me NUTS
Brooke Bowen Art I am Czech too, basically the same sound as in the German name “Bach”, but foreigners are usually unable to pronounce it, so I suggest pronouncing “h” rather than “k”. The “ch” sound (in phonetics represented as ‘x’) is very similar to “h”, but like a bit lighter. So say “Mu-hah” rather than “Muka”, well the word muka in Czech means torment lol.

wow ,,, you're really fast

This artist's has a natural style with just freehanding the Mucha style flowers and grass.
You are so sweet and beautiful!
U r looking like snow White.
Please lower the volume of the background music, very distracting. Great video though
Very cool video! Just please next time look up how to pronounce Alfons Mucha. It's pronounced mu-ha, and not mucca
There should be an epilepsy warning on this video. The flash lights during the high speed sections is visually and neurologically vexing.
