Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s also the best way to understand the skill that went into the creation of a painting. Many artists who are now considered masters painted copies in their early years. Van Gogh, for example, copied over 20 of Jean-Francois Millet’s works. I know I’ve seen plenty of copies in museums and art books. It’s a time-honored way to learn.
Dear Andrew, It's now a year since I got into professional painting. You should be a proud dad of raising mini-painters all over the world. You should have a reason to thank you for building competence and creativity endeavor in others. I hope to inspire people as you did Cheers mate
I had a teacher who taught old masters style. we did copies of ol'masters to help to practice color mixing etc. I did a copy of Wyaths' "Old Pew' The old blind man from Treasure Island. Also a small copy of a Stubbs horse painting. There is a lot to learn from copying. As long as you make sure you sign it and right on back that its AFTER the master who painted italong with title of painting. The masters had many apprentices who would make copies or fininish the masters paintings. Hundred or so years down the track the fact many paintings are unsigned, there has been confusion as the authenticity of the artist. This alone makes it important make it clear who painted it. Love your tutorials Andrew.. I have learnt much ,and am inspired immensely by you. Thankyou
And I just got out of a surgery just recently brain surgery and you're one of my favorite artists that I would 100% love to me face to face one day. Thank you so much for showing me and everyone else how to break down different brush strokes; especially the different techniques that one person can use.
The original painting is such an exquisite rendering of a lovely mare and her precious baby. The entire scene is idealyc, calling back memories real or perhaps imagined and wished for. I understand why this is one of your wife's favourite paintings. Your copy of this masterpiece is a treasure in its own right... one I am sure she will cherish, especially because it was your creative talent and loving heart that recreated this special painting for her. A very romantic and endearing excerise.
I remember when you did that beautiful painting of your wife. It came on my feed out of the blue. After that I started watching more and more RUclips videos of different kinds of art, that I decided recently to start learning how to draw. I guess you were the inspiration. It isn't easy at my age but I'm giving it a go. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.😊
I’ve done 7 masters copies for the same reasons. It makes you really think about how they did it - what colors and brushes they used . You really have to think . It’s great fun and they turned out very well!!
Andrew, it is a blessing being able to watch you work from across the globe. I believe this painting was an incredible exercise for you. The fact that you're able to paint in such detail always amazes me. Now that you are learning the loose impressionistic method, this will make you unstoppable and add a whole new range of artillery when approaching a new painting of your own. I'm excited to see you apply it. I hope you are getting the recognition you deserve out in New Zealand. Although you are more of a realistic painter than the impressionistic, I hold you up there along with Sargent, Monet, and the greats. You may think that is a ridiculous comparison but I honestly feel like I'm watching one of the greats when I watch your channel. You are the next generation! I aspire to be you and if you ever open an Atelier, my wife and I may just quit our jobs and move out to New Zealand to learn from you. Keep up the inspirational work.
So pleased you did this, Andrew! It's a fantastic copy and what a brilliant exercise. I love to copy a Master for all the reasons you said and gift them to friends - with a little tweak of adding something personal that shows it definitely a copy (like who am I kidding that mine could be mistaken for the original 🤣🤣) The respect I come away with for how the master painter accomplished their work - the composition, use of colours, texture and choice of brush etc - gasts my flabber! Thank you for taking the time to edit your content into these smaller freebies for us to watch - really appreciate that as a non-income person🙏 I trust Rachel was thrilled with her birthday gift 💝
Your videos are a delight with the clear and heavenly intoned voice-over plus some great music behind. I did see that someone besides myself wishes you’d shown your missus’ reaction to the painting. You’ve inspired me to go ahead with a master copy, don’t know why I’ve always resisted. Beautiful.
After watching this wonderful video, I looked up Lucy Kemp Welch, and then found others painters of horses like Sir Alfred Munnings. I like the loose look. I try to get that loose look in my acrylic paintings. But, it's easy to get back into doing more tight work as I go along.
I am a beginner at oil painting. All those brush marks, until I saw the finished horse painting, wow, the way the light hits the horse! I only took one oil painting class so I have a lot to learn. Oil painting is in my bucket list. My favorite to paint is gardening painting. I told my friend that my paintings are always at noon with no shadows.
I think plagiarism gets a bad wrap for good reasons. I like what you said at the beginning: "This isn't art, this is an exercise." I think we could all learn more from copying than we realize. The problem is if you only copy, you're not creative but if you never copy, you grow much slower. Copying is like a master lesson from whoever you choose to imitate.
I was so delighted to see you do a copy of a Lucy Kemp Welch painting. I have been a fan of hers for years and have done a couple of copy exercises myself. We seem to forget that all the great masters of the past learnt by copying those who went before them. We lose the knowledge of the past if we assume we have nothing to learn from it. I have books on Lucy and I noticed in some of the unfinished paintings that she actually seemed to work on the main subject first and slowly build in around it. Thanks for this post.
You're spot on Jane, loads of masters learnt from other masters by copying. Not sure why I haven't tried doing this previously to learn more techniques!!! That approach does make sense. I may try another with that sequence in mind.
I did a Master Copy of Thomas Coles painting for my studio painting assignment and have to do a Manner of Study from it into a large canvas. Before you ask, the Manner of Study assignment is not another copy to Thomas’s painting, I did a landscape of a interesting landmark near the town of Alpine, Texas. The master work is just an exercise as my professor said so it’s not intended copy for personal gain except for practicing and improving my skill
You have the best artist channel , appreciate your work and knowledge. I was a child prodigy but never continued drawing and painting going into graphic arts and printing . Now I'm 58 and I'm going to start again . God bless 🙏🏼
So beautiful! Amazing all those colours yet the horse still looks white to our mind. Great work! I’ve a few favourite old masters I wish I could get this level of a master copy
Andrew, the way I understand the copywrite laws pertaining to art/masters from my Uni lectures lies in the intent. If it is intended to 'fake' an original, it must firstly be claimed as an original, in ALL aspects. Whether it be size, paint, signature or subject. The 'intent' is not to deceive, but to draw inspiration from. You have used paint that was not available within the period, nor have you claimed a provenance by signature. You have claimed a desire to capture the style, colour/paint application and to a degree the brush strokes. Again there is no intent to be fraudulent only to produce a remarkable study, ( I am envious). Your painting/drawing tutorials got me through my Fine Arts Degree from well before day one. My lecturers have been thoroughly ear bashed about the Master's ability....... Your distant student shall await the next installment.😊
Provenance is not the same as copyright. A Copywriter is not the same as copyrighter. Fraud is when you represent soemthing as something it is not. The issue of copyright is more about reproduction. Trade mark is more related to fraud although one of the components of either is the completive advantage or recognising the brand, and therefore fraud could be an aspect of the case. You can make as many copies as you like, copyright only kicks in when there is distribution, and this copy within the video is already well within fair use. However this is well out of copyright.
You can paint anything, even copy modern paintings from the last years...as long as you do not sell it or promote it as your own invented art, no infringement. I can go and paint "interchange" from Willem de Kooning, basically copy it. If I ad a small difference and sign it with my own signature and clearly communicate that it is a copy, I can even sell it without a problem. What you are describing is related to copryright claim and those usually only relate to intelectual property. Same goes for photos....if I download a famous photo from someone else and sell it as my own....infringement. However if I go to the same place, the same persepective, same time of the year and hour and take an new photo, I can sell it without infringement. @@howlingwaters2741
You know what I love about your videos? That you show exactly how some specific brushstrokes you make!!! I have your portraits videos and i learned a lot from them, and I keep going back at them time by time. Thank you Andrew!
Hi Andrew ..great to see you back again 😊 I see nothing wrong with copying ..it's more an act of reverence and praise in my mind. I have a pencil drawing in progress of Ansell Adam's photo 'Yellowstone Falls' on the easel. What a wonderful tribute to the artist it is in my view. As you were painting and grapling with looser brush techniques I immediately thought of Royo's bold brushwork and how he might inspire your own progress. Anyhow I loved the painting, and that you brought a new artist to my attention 🙏
Dear Andrew Tischler! You are such an amazing artist and the teacher..! I learned sooo much from you. I truly can’t thank you enough…! My father tells me to get a mentor, and i tell him I already got one here (point at my RUclips)..! although i sometimes day dream about going to New Zealand and paint with your painting buddies..!😊 hehe. Thank you very much. Because of you, i didn’t give up on my artist pursuit. I hope you are well and keep bringing the beauty into this world 🎉
When I was first learning to paint with oils I also used old masters as a training device. I learned so much from copying them. Whatever works and is readily available when there is no living master around, or is unwilling to train you.. Drive on!
What a fantastic video. I've just started painting again after a break of about 15 years and I refused to use a projector to help me, but after watching this I will certainly give it a go just as you did. Thanks Andrew, you have inspired me. cheers
Thank you for that experiment. That is really a surprising use of a brush for details... it was definetely inspiring to try something similar myself, although I'm actually (because of one of your more recent videos) more into painting beautiful autumn veggies right now :) I have the same illness of overperfectionate (is that a word?) details and planing ahead, and I really do admire people who can draw and paint without any planing whatsoever, but this exercise could, maybe, heal me a little. I'm sure your wife will be super happy with this gift. There are really awesome paintings out there, and who would not want to have his/her favourite for oneself!
Hi Andrew, I’ve just started to be a regular to your channel. Coincidentally, I am working on two copies (detail area) of Rosa Bonheur’s paintings, Horse Fair and Highland Raid. It’s astounding how much I’ve learned! I did my own drawings and this video came in very handy!!! Thank you for all that you do!
Always excellent brother Andrew! I've heard it said that hyper realistic painting while highly technical and superb in precision. But to match reference to a T, still drifts a bit away from the nucleus of raw primal art. Then the artist is reduced to a highly skilled DRAFTSMAN with clockwork precision but with a brush. That often artists in their effort of being so exacting lose an aspect of aesthetics that sacrifices the dopamine receptors the high of a cerebral dance of connecting the information ourselves without it being spelled out for us. That IMPRESSIONISM allows the viewer to cognitively "feel" the understanding of the painting while still forming the realness of the vision on our own with "our" fine tuning a little bit. I totally admire your grand objective and success in presenting a more impressionistic masterpiece yourself! We all know that you followed the inspiration of Lucy Kemp Welch, and little need to explain as it's all justified and fair in the name of art and learning as you'll never be deceptive to say the original vision was exclusively yours. I applaud your ever-expanding skill and understanding of true art. Perhaps a lifelong journey and I say God bless you Mr. Tischler!
Great demo, Andrew. I appreciate how you went about this. Awhile back I loved an oil painting from a magazine, and did my very own copy, in watercolor. I was pleased with how it turned out. I let people know, when they comment, that it is not entirely original. Though I never plan to sell it I really should note on the back and credit the original artist.
Especially when a person is a beginner painter with oil paint can create magical and beautiful and amazing artwork just by practicing and loosening their brush strokes. And being bold not being scared to make mistakes. Even though I'm still learning to do the techniques that you are showing I'm truly blessed to learn from you
Nothing wrong with hacks to get you to the painting as long as you have the essence of your subject to do it justice as you grow skills in drawing and painting.. Thanks Andrew. See you in Patreon again in November. Yea!!!
Thank you for sharing this and your honesty. I am inspired to give it a go with some of the masters I am currently learning from ,....Right now I am trying to finish an entire sketchbook of Van Gogh drawings only...what an eye opening experience that has turned out to be... but after watching this I can't wait to try some oil studies from my mentors.. Fechin, and Frederick Remington, and Maynard Dixon, Edgar Payne, just to name a few.. Your work is amazing and your copy of this is just beautiful. You can tell you have painted this with your heart ... how Blessed your wife will be indeed. A quote from Marc Chagall...."If I can create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing. 1895-1985. I Know you didn't create the original of this but you can darn tell your effort was done with much care and love.
Because of the tight deadlines of delivering covers for Saturday Evening Post Norman Rockwell used a projector. You do what you have to to get the result you want.
I didn't know about the time past for copying a master's painting - 50, 70 or 100 years having been deceased; I was taught that if my copy was at least 20% different from the original. To me, now, that makes no sense because naturally it will be more different than just 20%. Your info seems more logical. - - - I find it amazing the way you paint a white horse in shade! I have never painted in such tiny bits and pieces at a time; I would have probably painted the horse its main colour first then topped it off with the various colours. Amazing, I will try that one day - when I learn to be patient. A new skill to master - patience! thanks so much for explaining everything every step of the way!
It was great to see you, "roughing it" rather than using your A. I. with atomic clocks, compasses, parallel rules, plumb-bobs, etc... to make the super-duper hard realism... thanks.
What fun! Thank you for introducing us to Lucy Kemp Welch! Her mastery of horse anatomy and expressions is amazing. I am a horse lover a d have been drawing them since l was young (71 now and still do horses) you did a great job capturing the vibrancy of her brushwork. And those delicious whites..... loved this so much now looking at buying the book about her art. Again. Thanks!!!!
Love this copy Andrew. I did one of Sargent couple of weeks ago and loved the exercise. I’ve heard it’s 70 years after death for public domain works. Candi K
Cool, duly noted. Yeah, I've heard 50, 70 or 100... but again that's related to selling the work and making it a commercial endeavour... But I need to do some more digging. I appreciate the input!
Re: Chip Brushes...I'm told the food prep versions of those brushes do not shed as much as the painting ones. [the kind used for spreading barbecue sauce, etc.] Also, soaking them in water makes the bristles swell a bit = less shedding. Then flapping them against your hand to dry them helps to release those loose bristles. You can also use pliers to pinch the ferrule tighter.
What a great video! I suffer from putting detail everywhere instead of limiting it to the focal point and fuss with my paint as well. I love that you accomplished some beautiful random looking brushstrokes that give the painting such life. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring always.
I do lots of master copies. When I do one, I use the layers and transparency features in photoshop to draw all the objects in the painting as three dimensional objects like spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc. Then shade them to give them volume. I also draw the horizon and perspective lines to further put the objects on the picture plane in three dimensional space. Then I project this drawing onto the canvas. I find this helps the painting have a more three dimensional look. When I first started I just traced the contours and I felt it made my master copy look flat. Another thing I focus on when doing master copies is pay attention to the edge work the artist did. Like soft or hard edges, do they use light or dark halos, etc. I found this really helps develop my own painting skills. As far as master copies being cheating or forgery, most musicians only play someone else's work like Mozart or Beethoven but for some reason painters are only expected to make original works. It doesn't make sense. Every artist should do master copies to develop their skills. It's how the master apprentice system worked for the past 500 years.
Andrew, I so appreciate your tutorials, educational teaching videos and your communcation with each video. With that said, I do have a couple of questions regarding how you view the copyright infringement of the projection/tracing aspect of your process. I have read what others have written and your responces. I do appreciate you saying you are creating a study. My continued questions are still standing - 1) do you first ask and recieve permission from the original artists? 2) Do you consider your studies as your "orginals"? 3) Do you sell these creations, or keep, admire or give them away? 4) When creating any of your originals, do you use tracing on your process on each and every one? Many of the artists are using the projection/tracing, asking permission, and giving credit where it's due, BUT they are calling it their ORIGINAL art - after stating where the reference photo came from. 5) Do you consider your art original, if you are using projection/tracing in your process? I understand SOME of the old masters used this, but they didn't have copywrite rules to follow either. Thank you, Andrew. I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, and would like to put this issue to bed. By reading some of the comments, others are curious too.

To paint well, you must know how to copy well
You may be copying a master painting Andrew but you are a master yourself. Your paintings are simply beautiful!
Thank you so much 😀

I love projectors! Great to see I am not the only one. This helps in showing my wife on why I never throw brushes out. I may need it.

Great class! I'm experiencing so much through your videos! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for that experiment. That is really a surprising use of a brush for details... it was definetely inspiring to try something similar myself, although I'm actually (because of one of your more recent videos) more into painting beautiful autumn veggies right now :)
I have the same illness of overperfectionate (is that a word?) details and planing ahead, and I really do admire people who can draw and paint without any planing whatsoever, but this exercise could, maybe, heal me a little.
I'm sure your wife will be super happy with this gift. There are really awesome paintings out there, and who would not want to have his/her favourite for oneself!
Really enjoyed that. Very illuminating!
Hi Andrew, I’ve just started to be a regular to your channel. Coincidentally, I am working on two copies (detail area) of Rosa Bonheur’s paintings, Horse Fair and Highland Raid. It’s astounding how much I’ve learned! I did my own drawings and this video came in very handy!!! Thank you for all that you do!
Always excellent brother Andrew! I've heard it said that hyper realistic painting while highly technical and superb in precision. But to match reference to a T, still drifts a bit away from the nucleus of raw primal art. Then the artist is reduced to a highly skilled DRAFTSMAN with clockwork precision but with a brush. That often artists in their effort of being so exacting lose an aspect of aesthetics that sacrifices the dopamine receptors the high of a cerebral dance of connecting the information ourselves without it being spelled out for us. That IMPRESSIONISM allows the viewer to cognitively "feel" the understanding of the painting while still forming the realness of the vision on our own with "our" fine tuning a little bit. I totally admire your grand objective and success in presenting a more impressionistic masterpiece yourself! We all know that you followed the inspiration of Lucy Kemp Welch, and little need to explain as it's all justified and fair in the name of art and learning as you'll never be deceptive to say the original vision was exclusively yours. I applaud your ever-expanding skill and understanding of true art. Perhaps a lifelong journey and I say God bless you Mr. Tischler!
My very first painting was a copy of a Spartaco Lombardo it turned out surprisingly well and I learned so much.
Looks like a labour of love Andrew. A great result. Thanks for sharing
I wanna live in your studio for a week. Feels so peaceful.
Great demo, Andrew. I appreciate how you went about this. Awhile back I loved an oil painting from a magazine, and did my very own copy, in watercolor. I was pleased with how it turned out. I let people know, when they comment, that it is not entirely original. Though I never plan to sell it I really should note on the back and credit the original artist.
You are fantastic!! I wish I can learn to paint like you.. thank you for your teaching..
To me you are one of the modern day Masters. Thank you for all the incredible teachings and inspiration you so generously share with us! 🙏👌👌👌✨
Great talent, love how you put details on that painting
Its actually harder to copy a photograph of a painting with loose brush strokes , than copy the real thing ...you did a great job here !
Especially when a person is a beginner painter with oil paint can create magical and beautiful and amazing artwork just by practicing and loosening their brush strokes. And being bold not being scared to make mistakes. Even though I'm still learning to do the techniques that you are showing I'm truly blessed to learn from you
Nothing wrong with hacks to get you to the painting as long as you have the essence of your subject to do it justice as you grow skills in drawing and painting.. Thanks Andrew. See you in Patreon again in November. Yea!!!
Really enjoy watching you I need inspiration I need to start painting again I can send you pictures of my paintings
What a beautiful copy! I will be watching this multiple times to learn from you. 🙏☮️❤️🖖
Thank you for sharing this and your honesty. I am inspired to give it a go with some of the masters I am currently learning from ,....Right now I am trying to finish an entire sketchbook of Van Gogh drawings only...what an eye opening experience that has turned out to be... but after watching this I can't wait to try some oil studies from my mentors.. Fechin, and Frederick Remington, and Maynard Dixon, Edgar Payne, just to name a few.. Your work is amazing and your copy of this is just beautiful. You can tell you have painted this with your heart ... how Blessed your wife will be indeed. A quote from Marc Chagall...."If I can create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing. 1895-1985. I Know you didn't create the original of this but you can darn tell your effort was done with much care and love.
Absolutely beautiful! As usual! You do inspire us all Andrew.
Thankyou so much for the video.
Definitely out of your comfort zone.
Well done.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What can I say, your just incredible 😊I love your work
Because of the tight deadlines of delivering covers for Saturday Evening Post Norman Rockwell used a projector. You do what you have to to get the result you want.
I didn't know about the time past for copying a master's painting - 50, 70 or 100 years having been deceased; I was taught that if my copy was at least 20% different from the original. To me, now, that makes no sense because naturally it will be more different than just 20%. Your info seems more logical. - - - I find it amazing the way you paint a white horse in shade! I have never painted in such tiny bits and pieces at a time; I would have probably painted the horse its main colour first then topped it off with the various colours. Amazing, I will try that one day - when I learn to be patient. A new skill to master - patience! thanks so much for explaining everything every step of the way!
It was great to see you, "roughing it" rather than using your A. I. with atomic clocks, compasses, parallel rules, plumb-bobs, etc... to make the super-duper hard realism... thanks.
What fun! Thank you for introducing us to Lucy Kemp Welch! Her mastery of horse anatomy and expressions is amazing. I am a horse lover a d have been drawing them since l was young (71 now and still do horses) you did a great job capturing the vibrancy of her brushwork. And those delicious whites..... loved this so much now looking at buying the book about her art. Again. Thanks!!!!
Thank you Tiffany! I am drawn to horses as well, their anatomy is a challenge to say the least!
Great choice of master copy and great execution!
You are very inspired me to paint.thank you so much!
Love this copy Andrew. I did one of Sargent couple of weeks ago and loved the exercise. I’ve heard it’s 70 years after death for public domain works. Candi K
Cool, duly noted. Yeah, I've heard 50, 70 or 100... but again that's related to selling the work and making it a commercial endeavour... But I need to do some more digging. I appreciate the input!
Wow usted mismo es un master que regalo 🎁 para su esposa!Dios bendiga la obra de tus manos Andrés!
loved it mr andrew ,and i enjoyed that alot,you are a rockstar
I dont know anything about paintings , but watching ur videos feel im very good artist already !!!
I think this was an interesting exercise and a great way to bond with an artist who’s work you appreciate.
Norman Rockwell was a hack of his own shutter bugging... pretty good company you keep, Andrew!
Re: Chip Brushes...I'm told the food prep versions of those brushes do not shed as much as the painting ones. [the kind used for spreading barbecue sauce, etc.] Also, soaking them in water makes the bristles swell a bit = less shedding. Then flapping them against your hand to dry them helps to release those loose bristles. You can also use pliers to pinch the ferrule tighter.
Your talent always has me in awe....so amazing. This painting is beautiful! I am inspired to try and do a study of a master artist. Thanks.
What a great video! I suffer from putting detail everywhere instead of limiting it to the focal point and fuss with my paint as well. I love that you accomplished some beautiful random looking brushstrokes that give the painting such life. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring always.
Love the rain and darkness love the atmosphere Andrew ❤
I do lots of master copies. When I do one, I use the layers and transparency features in photoshop to draw all the objects in the painting as three dimensional objects like spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc. Then shade them to give them volume. I also draw the horizon and perspective lines to further put the objects on the picture plane in three dimensional space. Then I project this drawing onto the canvas. I find this helps the painting have a more three dimensional look. When I first started I just traced the contours and I felt it made my master copy look flat.
Another thing I focus on when doing master copies is pay attention to the edge work the artist did. Like soft or hard edges, do they use light or dark halos, etc. I found this really helps develop my own painting skills.
As far as master copies being cheating or forgery, most musicians only play someone else's work like Mozart or Beethoven but for some reason painters are only expected to make original works. It doesn't make sense. Every artist should do master copies to develop their skills. It's how the master apprentice system worked for the past 500 years.
This Is your own work and it’s astounding 🙏🏻
Andrew, I so appreciate your tutorials, educational teaching videos and your communcation with each video. With that said, I do have a couple of questions regarding how you view the copyright infringement of the projection/tracing aspect of your process. I have read what others have written and your responces. I do appreciate you saying you are creating a study. My continued questions are still standing - 1) do you first ask and recieve permission from the original artists? 2) Do you consider your studies as your "orginals"? 3) Do you sell these creations, or keep, admire or give them away? 4) When creating any of your originals, do you use tracing on your process on each and every one? Many of the artists are using the projection/tracing, asking permission, and giving credit where it's due, BUT they are calling it their ORIGINAL art - after stating where the reference photo came from. 5) Do you consider your art original, if you are using projection/tracing in your process? I understand SOME of the old masters used this, but they didn't have copywrite rules to follow either. Thank you, Andrew. I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, and would like to put this issue to bed. By reading some of the comments, others are curious too.
Apologies - you answered a few of my questions on this video.
I am in awe of your talent and it is inspiring👍🫶🏻💯
