When he just calmly squeezed like half of the paint out like nothing physically hurt me. As an artist with no money, all of the paint he squeezed out for one painting, I would have used for multiple before my stingy self bought more.
I taught art for 35 years, so I know something about art education. You are among the very finest art teachers I've ever had the pleasure of watching. You are amazing, thank you.
"Accepted chaos is how some of the most beautiful marks evolve" I really enjoy his tutorials, and the language he uses to explain the techniques he's using is so lovely.
his use of language makes me start to get and even appreciate abstract painting.. the way he describes each color and brushstroke as they are is really fascinating. the discussion of color at the most stripped down form, treating colors as subjects with their own mind, studying them without imposing subjective will, reminds me of deconstructionism. it’s pretty cool
This is why I love this century so much. Legendary musea, explaining how to paint like Willem de Kooning in high quality video format, delivered to your doorstep for free on RUclips. This is just amazing right?
i wish there'd been more videos of corey d'augustine! i think i've watched all of them on this channel. love the way he's explaining things, it's a delightful experience.
For all the people watching, it is always better to mix your paints, especially oil paint, with a palette knife. The paint, any kind really, sinks into the bottoms of the paint brushes and may ruin their softness and quality. And generally, cleaning them becomes harder.
I have lectured painting and drawing for many years in an art institute attached to a university in Australia. My primary area of Doctoral study was North American abstraction, in particular, action painting or abstract expressionism. I spent a long time looking at paintings in collections in the U.S. And it is important to point out that this type of lesson, well meaning as it is, is the opposite of good art instruction, and is the complete reverse of what these painters were on about. If a painting teacher says they are going to teach you how to paint like this artist or that artist, run as fast as you can in the other direction. This is the complete reverse of what these painters actually strove to find in their own work; which was the expression of their own uniqueness and personal individuality using the materials of paint and canvas. Your aim as a art student should always be to learn the basic techniques you need so that you can start speaking with your own voice, not to begin by imitating another artists language. Matisse was very clear when he spoke of the dangers of imitating or making your work the pastiche of another, more developed artists idiom; that the more it is done, the tighter the strangle hold on your own vision, and the harder you have to fight to break free of the influence. If you want to be a good artist, and here, the definition of good is to be the most YOU that you can be when you are painting, then be very careful how many influences you take on when you're learning. The role of copying is important in an artists journey, and you can learn a lot from doing it, because it forces you to ask questions about the artist's intentions But did you know that de Kooning was a fantastic drafts-person, and so were many of the other abstractionists. You see, you need to know that, in order to understand the voluminous space de Kooning is trying to achieve by smearing that paint all around the canvas. He's not just trying to make something which looks good, or interesting, or pretty, he's trying to say something about the essential nature of what it is to be a human, at that time in history, in that particular place--and he's trying to do it by establishing a pictorial space which will open into the views psyche; like a stone thrown into a well. So, if you were going to make a painting where you were trying to convey what it's like to be YOU, with all the amazing and beautiful, and sometimes disturbing things that being YOU means, what would it look like? What colours would you use? What brushes, or sticks would you use? Or would you use your fingers? How big would it be? Would it be abstract, or would it be representational, or would it be a combination of both? What marks would you use, so that you could look at it and know they were your marks--do you even know what your mark is yet?
I enjoyed this video but I completely agree, I like the old joke If you rip off or imitate one artists style you're a fraud, cheat,etc. but if you imitate dozens of artists styles you're a creative genius.
This man is a truly excellent teacher. He has a fatherly way of bringing in the spectator-student comfortably, with elemental conduction, and holding vibrantly in all the veins he carries us through. Thank you so much, MoMA, for these videos!
Thank you for this video. I’m a self taught artist and literally watch every few weeks. You have encouraged my soul to keep painting, even when my hands don’t work. Pure Expression/Abstract is the action, the record of thoughts while performing, held for eternity.
How to paint like Willem de Kooning - PART 2 just went live! Check out our latest episode of IN THE STUDIO with Corey D'Augustine here: ruclips.net/video/91-htuqmezI/видео.html
I'm resigned to the fact I'm never going to 'get' this kind of painting. It seems pointless to me. However, I'm enjoying this series because I'm learning a lot about paints and mediums. He's a really good teacher, even if the final products don't interest me.
Hey everyone, tune in this Wednesday, May 17 at 3:30 p.m. EDT for a *LIVE* Q&A with IN THE STUDIO instructor Corey D'Augustine. Corey will answer questions from previous videos, as well as from the live comments section. Watch live: ruclips.net/video/3Q2GDI673lo/видео.html
This is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! It blows my amateur painter mind how de Kooning mixed so many different things into his paint. Good God, I would go broke (which I am anyway) using the amount of paint, varnish, linseed oil, etc. that de Kooning used! It is unbelievable. But so is Corey D'Augustine! Absolutely amazing painter in his own right. The talent it takes to not only paint like an old master like de Kooning but to know exactly HOW de Kooning painted and the various other mixtures he used. It's just unbelievable. And extremely educational. THANK YOU, COREY!!!
As a watercolor artist who has zero oil painting experience , 😯 the amount of paint used in this medium is positively mind boggling ! This video has changed my perspective completely .
13:13 "I just attacked the problems, but guess what, now there are new problems." Sounds like the story of my life...well at least parts of it. I guess life is a painting. I absolutely loved this lesson. It gave me butterflies in my tummy.
An excellent tutorial. Whether you like the style or not, the process is valuable and the tutor has excellent tutorial skill. 20 minutes of my life I'm not sorry are gone.
a recommendation to this young artist, paint in a place that it has at least a large open window, with fresh air coming. Turpentine is a silent killer, if you store your paintings at the same place, with no air outlets, you are playing russe roulette. Oil colors had a plenty of petroleum components, add to this menu a pure odorless turpentine, a sure recipe to send you to emergency room.
I have never painted in oil. This video and artist taught me a lot about how to deal with oil paints. I also learnt a lot about De Kooning's way to paint. Corey D'Augustine is a great teacher. He knows how to speak well and engage the viewer. Very good video.
i feel like abstract is a literal way of putting emotions onto canvas. you are using your entire body to create. when you step back its kind of a surprise to see what came out of you
when you worked on the blue at 17:00 minute mark and I saw the result - I smiled. I think that was the magic moment for me that made the painting come together. thank you for this amazing work! I learned a lot in this video
I just discovered these and I, for one, love this series. It's my impression that Corey really knows what he's doing, and his techniques are meant to reproduce those of the artist he is emulating. I'm learning alot. I note lots of negative comments. Lighten up people.
I really like the metacognative dialogue. Many art demos do not explore what's going on in the mind or not... but views have those questions and this video provides those insights.
10:14...I'm so glad you stepped back and explained that to everyone. When I used to paint I'd often do just that and literally look for hours in some cases. If the painting sat for extended time I'd leave it. Usually though I'd find something more I'd want and go on with it.
**accidentally breaks pencil on page while drawing** Now this what you call art. The texture of the dint in the paper really shows a sense of abstraction and creativtity on what would normally would be a boring blank paper. This is really what you want to happen.
They say good art speaks to you in feelings. I can not explain the extreme feelings of despair I felt when he squeezed those paint tubes like they don't cost a fortune.
I'm liking this a lot so far. I feel like this guy is going out on a limb by appearing in these videos -- a lot of people are just going to say 'it's all wrong!' But I'm a materials person as an artist -- I love to learn about this stuff. Appreciate even the attempt to approach and make this happen.
Corey d'Augustine does a fabulous job of explaining de Kooning's Ab/Ex painting process. So grateful for this demo. I'm looking forward to the complete 7-week MoMa course available through Coursera. Clear concise explanation of not only paint mixing and handling but de Kooning's creative process as well.....Excellent! :-)
At first, i thought it was ugly, but then when I paused the video, don't know how but the paint started to make sense in my mind and talked to me. I'm so happy and in love right now. By: a stupid amateur art lover teenager.
I loved this painting, one of my favourite works by you. To me, the final additions of pale pink to the painting really brought everything together. I used to despise modern art and dismissed it as something "anyone could do". However, after watching your videos, I now understand that this genre of art is more focused on capturing the process of creating the artwork rather than the final piece itself, hence producing "ugly" or "easy" art. Thank you for enlightening me on this.
Wow,I have never seen this kind of art before.I wish I could understand it.I think it is gorgeous all the different things you can do with 1 painting.love it
I'll admit, I've always been against modern art, seeing it as something simple, or just a few scribbles that anyone can do... And at that point, if I had approached doing art in styles like these, it would have been terrible. But not only are you showing the thought that goes into the painting, you're explaining the emotion and effort that goes into nearly every action. You explain the very basics of how to put the paint together, so that anyone who can appreciate the art can have a go at trying that style, or even just making a painting with a similar texture. While I still can't say anything positive about canvases made up of a single color, (They say emotion, I say barely any work with a price tag that's just too much) now I'm able to appreciate these amazing pieces of artwork. Thank you! :3
As an aspiring artist and art student exploring abstrat art I found those videos very valuable! I won't look at Kooning's art (or any abstract artist's in that matter) the same way ever again. Thank you very much for showing technical side of the entire process as well as explaining step by step what is happening on canvas and why.
It is a really good class for the abstract painter like myself, I often don't know when to stop, and I agree with some of the comments below, most of time we stopped the painting because we run of paint, and we do not like waste of paint, but the interesting thing I have recently discovered is that we can always add the paint back when it's still dry. Somewhere else must need that part of paint. thank you for making this video for us.
I am a painter and a member of the Superblur Art Movement. This was a really interesting and superawesome video. Thanks for uploading, I think a lot of people will benefit from this video, especially those that try to Dekooningfication
Tune in for a live Q&A with Corey on Thursday, September 14 at 3:00 p.m. EDT. He’ll be answering any questions you might have on artists, materials, and techniques. He’ll also be revealing the next episode of IN THE STUDIO to go into production!
At last - someone who speaks to the elements of creating art in the terms I need! Been painting for years, but never felt I had a comprehensive, clear approach, jumping from one technique to another. Classes I've taken were useless. You have consolidated the correct elements for my unique approach to creating art which speaks to me. Thank you!
I had him as an Art History professor at Pratt. He literally was the best art history professor I ever had. There are a whole bunch of uptight and dry art history professors out there...but not him. :)
Very true. DeKooning was a very physical painter; As was Pollock. Both ballet swaggist with a brush. His whole body movement apart of brush, hand, paint placement. I had no idea you were so insightful about art body mind dynamics, very cool.
It’s always interesting for me to experience paintings - and to reflect on balances of realistic, representational and abstract representations of reality and about feeling
I feel the purpose of the long brush is to make a less steady movement making the painting more natural rather than just being able to see the painting as a whole. Abstract doesn't need to be looked at as a whole, more so a feeling within a moment.
that creamy cobalt, esp after adding linseed oil, really grabbed me... now i want to try oil paints since i can make it fluid... I Love fluid acrylic painting and the effects different pigments create, and this demo has turned me on to oil i think
Wow! This is what I needed, to let my work as a Carver, Painter speak to me, to not be so hard on myself, that be said for every one being's creative mind. Thank you. Peace
I’m an acrylic painter and, as such, I found this video particularly interesting. Using a lot, I mean huge amounts, of oil paint shows a freedom I’m unable to afford, and I’m just a little envious of his ability to use it so freely; having said that I appreciate his confidence in his ability to do just that. If I were pouring huge glug, glug, glugs of linseed oil onto and into the paints I’m afraid I’d be counting the cost of the linseed oil - let alone the paints!!! I liked seeing the different techniques that I certainly can’t apply to acrylics. I can imagine that with the differing textures and experimentation it would be hard to go back to acrylics. I love his combination of texture, his freedom of movement, and love it that he explains how and why he does so - ego doesn’t come into the picture (accidental pun!). I found the oil and water mix interesting - I’d not have done that - but experimenting requires good underpinning knowledge, along with an amount of risk taking thrown in. I wish I could afford to use materials in such a way, but even if I could, I know that I wouldn’t have the abandon to do so. The painting itself leaves me a little cold - Dali has the same effect - but I can appreciate what he’s done to get to that point. I want to see more of his approaches to other art approaches. I’m going to share this with my son who is more interested in such approaches. That’s for sharing!
I had, still have no idea who Willem the Kooning is. But I liked how this teacher explained the paint mixes. So that I don't have to figure that out myself. And also how he explained gestures and textures. It's so fascinating how much material exploring, reinventing the wheel, such painters did already. Saves us lots of time if we are willing to learn from these 'ugly' works. 😅
not gonna lie thought this video would be kind of stupid, but MOMA y'all proved me wrong. This is a really great lesson not just on how to paint like de kooning but also on awesome painting techniques. GREAT VIDEO. KEEP IT UP. THANKS!!!
hi, saw your video on painting like de Kooning. OMG. What I loved the most is the physicality of the painting, and the fact that the underpainting set the tone, and you developed the painting. Obviously, you are well versed on de Kooning. Pollock and Picasso influenced de Kooning, and you are the first real artist I have seen work on You Tube. I paint and am obsessed with the Cobra movement and the artist that you are familiar with.Most You tube "artist" are not remotely aware of real art, but are obsessed with quick crafty technique, ie, fluid acrylic pouring. Keep up your great work. Real artist need to You Tube. Thanks.
Wow this really is an adventure in paint,texture,thin ness,scratchy ness,luscious colour,manipulation of colour,unusual stick masterials like the charcoal,love the idea of constant overlays done over time,these paintings are never really finished until the artist decides,just having them around in the studio to work and rework as some things only happen over time,this kind of art is not for the feint hearted its gutsy hands on,I see below some adverse comments but this is only art for those who truly understand bold use of materials and colour and abstraction sometimes beyond the mind,every day you will see something new in this kind of work hanging on your wall,it has given me ideas for acrylic work as the dangerous odours worry me associated with working in oils but otherwise I like oils but not the excessive oxidisation times that come with them,I can smell that stinky studio and the bad heads it would give me,beware of odourless thinners they kill like they did with Bob Ross,anyway so glad that I found this this is 'Painterly painting for those who enjoy application' the results speak for themselves,magical and alive and unique.

I need a netflix series of Corey just replicating/painting and teaching about a certain artist each episode
he kept going over places that I liked and i felt angry every time but then he'd step back and I liked it again
When he just calmly squeezed like half of the paint out like nothing physically hurt me. As an artist with no money, all of the paint he squeezed out for one painting, I would have used for multiple before my stingy self bought more.
I taught art for 35 years, so I know something about art education. You are among the very finest art teachers I've ever had the pleasure of watching. You are amazing, thank you.
"Accepted chaos is how some of the most beautiful marks evolve"
I really enjoy his tutorials, and the language he uses to explain the techniques he's using is so lovely.
I live vicariously through how much paint you squeeze. shout outs to all my struggling artists out there
his use of language makes me start to get and even appreciate abstract painting.. the way he describes each color and brushstroke as they are is really fascinating. the discussion of color at the most stripped down form, treating colors as subjects with their own mind, studying them without imposing subjective will, reminds me of deconstructionism. it’s pretty cool
This is why I love this century so much. Legendary musea, explaining how to paint like Willem de Kooning in high quality video format, delivered to your doorstep for free on RUclips. This is just amazing right?
i wish there'd been more videos of corey d'augustine! i think i've watched all of them on this channel. love the way he's explaining things, it's a delightful experience.
For all the people watching, it is always better to mix your paints, especially oil paint, with a palette knife. The paint, any kind really, sinks into the bottoms of the paint brushes and may ruin their softness and quality. And generally, cleaning them becomes harder.
I have lectured painting and drawing for many years in an art institute attached to a university in Australia. My primary area of Doctoral study was North American abstraction, in particular, action painting or abstract expressionism. I spent a long time looking at paintings in collections in the U.S. And it is important to point out that this type of lesson, well meaning as it is, is the opposite of good art instruction, and is the complete reverse of what these painters were on about.
If a painting teacher says they are going to teach you how to paint like this artist or that artist, run as fast as you can in the other direction.

If you want to be a good artist, and here, the definition of good is to be the most YOU that you can be when you are painting, then be very careful how many influences you take on when you're learning.
The role of copying is important in an artists journey, and you can learn a lot from doing it, because it forces you to ask questions about the artist's intentions But did you know that de Kooning was a fantastic drafts-person, and so were many of the other abstractionists. You see, you need to know that, in order to understand the voluminous space de Kooning is trying to achieve by smearing that paint all around the canvas. He's not just trying to make something which looks good, or interesting, or pretty, he's trying to say something about the essential nature of what it is to be a human, at that time in history, in that particular place--and he's trying to do it by establishing a pictorial space which will open into the views psyche; like a stone thrown into a well.
So, if you were going to make a painting where you were trying to convey what it's like to be YOU, with all the amazing and beautiful, and sometimes disturbing things that being YOU means, what would it look like? What colours would you use? What brushes, or sticks would you use? Or would you use your fingers? How big would it be? Would it be abstract, or would it be representational, or would it be a combination of both? What marks would you use, so that you could look at it and know they were your marks--do you even know what your mark is yet?
I enjoyed this video but I completely agree, I like the old joke If you rip off or imitate one artists style you're a fraud, cheat,etc. but if you imitate dozens of artists styles you're a creative genius.
Absolutely brilliant!
This man is a truly excellent teacher. He has a fatherly way of bringing in the spectator-student comfortably, with elemental conduction, and holding vibrantly in all the veins he carries us through. Thank you so much, MoMA, for these videos!
My heart fluttered at 18:06 when he strikes the white paint over the brown action
Watching an expensive tube of paint being squeezed out tremendously, I feel the pain. It hurts me to see this...
There is no ending with this type of painting. Only beginnings
Thank you for this video. I’m a self taught artist and literally watch every few weeks.
You have encouraged my soul to keep painting, even when my hands don’t work.
Pure Expression/Abstract is the action, the record of thoughts while performing, held for eternity.

Mixing with a brush? Squeezing the top-middles of tubes? Get OUTTA here! LOL !!
They say good art speaks to you in feelings. I can not explain the extreme feelings of despair I felt when he squeezed those paint tubes like they don't cost a fortune.
Finished product looks good. Adding the yellow on the right side made it doable!
BRING BACK THIS SERIES!!!
itni achi painting maine aaj tak nahi dekhi or nahi banai
Wow, haven’t seen him in years! He’s easy to watch 👍👍👍👍
He's the best teacher 👌👌👌👌
I'm liking this a lot so far. I feel like this guy is going out on a limb by appearing in these videos -- a lot of people are just going to say 'it's all wrong!' But I'm a materials person as an artist -- I love to learn about this stuff. Appreciate even the attempt to approach and make this happen.
Like your how you explain what your doing with why, how and use. and your critique of the process.
I have found the tubs that the dishwasher tabs come in are great for this and for holding water. Love them
The way he explains the process is so beautiful
Corey d'Augustine does a fabulous job of explaining de Kooning's Ab/Ex painting process. So grateful for this demo. I'm looking forward to the complete 7-week MoMa course available through Coursera.

I love this series. I am a beginner/amateur artist, and I love the little breadcrumbs I can use in my work.
Good Teacher .He makes everything understandable. Bravo
He really squeezed my whole rent out of those tubes
This video influenced my art. I watch it once every 2 years more or less
I am a painter and a member of the Superblur Art Movement. This was a really interesting and superawesome video. Thanks for uploading, I think a lot of people will benefit from this video, especially those that try to Dekooningfication
painting is a moment in time between you and the paint. dance with it and watch it come alive.wonderful.

Him mixing with his paint brush makes me cringe
I had him as an Art History professor at Pratt. He literally was the best art history professor I ever had. There are a whole bunch of uptight and dry art history professors out there...but not him. :)
Wow just like the real thing! Incredible!
nice vocabulary range and interesting to see how DeKooning-esque those charcoal gestures are
Very true. DeKooning was a very physical painter; As was Pollock. Both ballet swaggist with a brush. His whole body movement apart of brush, hand, paint placement. I had no idea you were so insightful about art body mind dynamics, very cool.
It’s always interesting for me to experience paintings - and to reflect on balances of realistic, representational and abstract representations of reality and about feeling
Its a wonderfull way of painting - its like dancing, drawing,painting,dreaming, discovering, imagining, associating as a stream of consciousness
What a wonderful series.
I feel the purpose of the long brush is to make a less steady movement making the painting more natural rather than just being able to see the painting as a whole. Abstract doesn't need to be looked at as a whole, more so a feeling within a moment.
Really like this series. Makes people understand more about art. Its Not like a bob Ross' show with a diy explanation.
that creamy cobalt, esp after adding linseed oil, really grabbed me... now i want to try oil paints since i can make it fluid... I Love fluid acrylic painting and the effects different pigments create, and this demo has turned me on to oil i think
I'm really enjoying this series but I have never had a desire to paint like de Kooning. Still learned things though which is always good.
it's so fun and inspiring to watch pro do it, a little bit of entertainment too...
I literally have no idea what he's talking about through out the whole video, but it's so satisfying, that I keep watching.😄
Well done! Never thought of mixing water into oils before: it really does create a great, unusual texture!
I don't watch any other art museum youtube channels bc this series is amazing! This guy is great and love the behind the scenes.
Such interesting process wonderfully shown and reflected - very inspiring 💛🧡🖤💙
Wow! This is what I needed, to let my work as a Carver, Painter speak to me, to not be so hard on myself, that be said for every one being's creative mind. Thank you. Peace
I’m an acrylic painter and, as such, I found this video particularly interesting. Using a lot, I mean huge amounts, of oil paint shows a freedom I’m unable to afford, and I’m just a little envious of his ability to use it so freely; having said that I appreciate his confidence in his ability to do just that. If I were pouring huge glug, glug, glugs of linseed oil onto and into the paints I’m afraid I’d be counting the cost of the linseed oil - let alone the paints!!! I liked seeing the different techniques that I certainly can’t apply to acrylics. I can imagine that with the differing textures and experimentation it would be hard to go back to acrylics. I love his combination of texture, his freedom of movement, and love it that he explains how and why he does so - ego doesn’t come into the picture (accidental pun!). I found the oil and water mix interesting - I’d not have done that - but experimenting requires good underpinning knowledge, along with an amount of risk taking thrown in. I wish I could afford to use materials in such a way, but even if I could, I know that I wouldn’t have the abandon to do so.
The painting itself leaves me a little cold - Dali has the same effect - but I can appreciate what he’s done to get to that point. I want to see more of his approaches to other art approaches. I’m going to share this with my son who is more interested in such approaches. That’s for sharing!
Absolutely brilliant. Encore, Encore
Painting is being in the moment. Its a time to be your true self.I love it all.I feel alive as i make all the colors dance. It is like grace.
I had, still have no idea who Willem the Kooning is. But I liked how this teacher explained the paint mixes. So that I don't have to figure that out myself. And also how he explained gestures and textures.
It's so fascinating how much material exploring, reinventing the wheel, such painters did already. Saves us lots of time if we are willing to learn from these 'ugly' works. 😅
not gonna lie thought this video would be kind of stupid, but MOMA y'all proved me wrong. This is a really great lesson not just on how to paint like de kooning but also on awesome painting techniques. GREAT VIDEO. KEEP IT UP. THANKS!!!
hi, saw your video on painting like de Kooning. OMG. What I loved the most is the physicality of the painting, and the fact that the underpainting set the tone, and you developed the painting. Obviously, you are well versed on de Kooning. Pollock and Picasso influenced de Kooning, and you are the first real artist I have seen work on You Tube. I paint and am obsessed with the Cobra movement and the artist that you are familiar with.Most You tube "artist" are not remotely aware of real art, but are obsessed with quick crafty technique, ie, fluid acrylic pouring. Keep up your great work. Real artist need to You Tube. Thanks.
Wow this really is an adventure in paint,texture,thin ness,scratchy ness,luscious colour,manipulation of colour,unusual stick masterials like the charcoal,love the idea of constant overlays done over time,these paintings are never really finished until the artist decides,just having them around in the studio to work and rework as some things only happen over time,this kind of art is not for the feint hearted its gutsy hands on,I see below some adverse comments but this is only art for those who truly understand bold use of materials and colour and abstraction sometimes beyond the mind,every day you will see something new in this kind of work hanging on your wall,it has given me ideas for acrylic work as the dangerous odours worry me associated with working in oils but otherwise I like oils but not the excessive oxidisation times that come with them,I can smell that stinky studio and the bad heads it would give me,beware of odourless thinners they kill like they did with Bob Ross,anyway so glad that I found this this is 'Painterly painting for those who enjoy application' the results speak for themselves,magical and alive and unique.
I like the tunnel of yellow taking us to another place!
I loved this painting,👍❤
Great video. Instructor is really good at explaining and demonstrating how de Kooning worked.
I LOVED your commentary and facts. Thanks for an awesome video!
Wow that looks fun! I want to do that now!!
Looks like fun and relaxing.
God I wish I had this guy as an art teacher at the time. He makes everything simple and understandable.
This is the most interesting form of art teaching I've ever seen
