John Myatt is better than any art teacher I have ever had. He is blunt, painfully truthful, respectful, and instructive. And, of course, he truly understands the various styles. I'd love to see more of this series.
I like this show cos right from the beginning we know how it's gonna go down - whiskery old rogue is gonna have an energetic and passionate one man show with "experimental and brave" Edna from Hertfordshire , it will be well received . While Cassie McDuff from Florida will do a bit of figurative painting on the side and attempt to "capture the personality" of Rick, a cocky watercolour actor from Kew. Unfortunately he doesn't have one . None of them managed to "get outside the box" , but they all got home in time for tea ! Goodnight children , sweet dreams ⚉
The point of the exercise is to do what Braque would do, NOT want she would do (Edna). The over simplification and limited drab palet is the whole point. Rick did well. Nice painting. Cassie understands cubism the best. It could be her "home" if she desires.
I wish we could see more of John Wyatt! Perhaps he could do something representing Leroy Nieman! He looked like he was having so much fun when painting.
The upside-down technique can be hugely helpful after you tire of looking at the composition for a long time. As an architect, I used to work on my design backwards when I got to a point where "I could not see the forest for the trees".
This exercise really brought the artists out of their comfort zone and the result was amazing! Really inspiring and it made me want to try to do this...I am looking forward to watching more of these videos!
I would love to take a class from him. When I was in art school, I don’t remember any teacher commenting on my work as it was in progress. Lots of comments and praise after the work was completed.
Edna is really the wrong person in the wrong place. She's not on par with the other two guests. I hope we see more shows like these. They are educational and quality TV :)
It wasn't Picasso or Braque, but Cézanne who first had the idea of art should be binocular, ie, seen by 2 eyes , and therefore, from more than 1 angle. Picasso and Braque, one could say, followed that idea, and developed it much further. Of the 3 paintings, Cassie's most clearly threw away the conventional perspective, and created a seemingly chaotic but truly rhythmic overall picture. Rick's painting, nonetheless, gave the best demonstration of ''passage'', another technique pioneered by Cézanne.
This guy is amazing. In watching a few episodes I have learned a tremendous amount about painting and about the masters such as Georges Braque that I admire so greatly.
I gained an 'O' level and then an 'A' level in art at school, (England). My mother did not inform me as such and eventually, when she was dying from Cancer sent me my 'A' level certificate when I was 64 years old, which I did not know I had. She had said to me, when I was at art college, "No son of mine will ever go into the art world...there is no money in it." I did a pencil drawing, (sealed with fixative), of my psychiatrist when I was about 55 years old and he did not believe it was a pencil drawing and made no secret of that, thinking it was a photograph. It's a fact that has haunted me all my life. (76yo now)
@@justsomeone5936You mean the 'A' level? Yes and no, I was told by my art teacher that I had a very unusual understanding of light and shade, and I should go into 'Graphics at art college but my mother absolutely refused to permit it. You see we lived about 100 miles from any decent college and the best one...the one to which I was forced to go, to study math., chemistry and physics (my very worst subjects) was 300 miles away in London, and I needed lodgings....and it was my parents who paid for those lodgings. I was trapped. Of course I should have simply completely split with my parents and found work evenings and weekends and completed a graphics course. Anyway, that is all a long, long time ago. I still paint and I still create 'clever stuff' for my own entertainment. Nice of you to ask, thank you.
I loved Rick's painting. I was actually awed. because - not his style or medium; the use of green was subtle yet purposeful; the line was eye-moving and open to interpretation; it was done in one day and looked pretty much finished - i wanted to buy it
Id like to know if this series of videos were intended for television? As a beginner I find these videos captivating and leaves me hoping there will be more someday.
Sadly a classical Atelier is beyond the reach of most, as are the time constraints to learn properly. This gives a flavour of the great artists techniques and the reason for their approach. It encourages experimentation and enhances the joy of the process.
In another show he is in, Frame in the frame...he does. He also explains in an earlier episode that he uses all types sometimes diluting with cheaper paints.
This show is made or broken by how good the people there are. it's a really fun experience but the teacher isn't really teaching them anything at all, not that he would have the time. I definitely think that the people should be amateurs who know how to paint well but don't make a living off it.
" You can reduce the intensity of any color by adding black " ??? Adding a bit of the intense color's complement is the better way. Ex. An intense or saturated red will stay red but will lose its intensity when green is added to it. Green, on the color wheel, is opposite red and is therefore, its COMPLEMENT.
Your red will go muddy brown by adding green if you aren’t very exact. Black, in very small proportion will simply tone the red down. You can create an umbra with tiny increments of black to the same intense red, and not risk brown.🖤🇨🇦
Only with acrylics can you cover over what has been painted with primer or gesso. You cannot cover oils with water based paint or primer. It will not adhere to the surface.
@@BowerBomB - It’s not a good idea to add a layer of acrylic over a layer of oil paint that’s still curing. The acrylic binder is a type of plastic so you’re adding a layer of plastic on top of oil paint that’s still drying. While acrylic paint doesn’t form a perfect seal, it’s still an extra layer that may interfere with how the oil paint cures. There’s a range of opinions about how long it takes oil paints to dry. I think that’s because there’s a difference between paint that’s dry to the touch and paint that’s fully cured. According to The Smithsonian, oil paints are in a state of change for many years after they’re dry to the touch: “Beyond drying to the touch, (oil) paints are still very active chemically and the polymerization process that starts with the uptake of oxygen will still be active for years afterward, and even affect the physical properties of paint decades after the paint film was applied. Both the chemical and physical processes in paints go on for many years.”The Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute Painting Acrylic over Oils Violates the Fat over Lean Principle The “Fat over lean” principle that oil painters follow is built upon the idea that paint should dry from the bottom up. In other words, the layers of paint closest to the canvas should dry first so that it provides a solid foundation for each additional layer. Acrylic paint will dry long before the oil paints. So if you were to paint acrylics over oils, the acrylics will cure long before the layer of oil paint underneath. This is a violation of the fat over lean principle. The reason why this is important is that you don’t want the surface you’re painting on to shift or move after the top layer is dry. Any movement in the layers underneath can cause problems in the top layers of dry paint.
Tous ces peintres qui ont rompu avec la tradition picturale étaient en fait de mauvais peintres, incapables aussi bien de dessiner que de peindre un beau tableau.En rejettant d'un coup toutes les règles classiques, ils sont enfin parvenus à pastrugner des croûtes qui n'expriment que la pauvreté de leur immagination et l'abscence totale de génie. Le maître absolu de toute cette génure est sans aucun doute possible Pablo Maria ... Ruìz y Picasso ! Un autre est Paul Klee qui ne savait absolument pas dessiner, et qui s'est réfugié dans les quadrillages de couleur diverses qu'il ne parvient même pas à juxtaposer proprement pour créer l'un de ces effets mystérieux que peut créer le hasar ou une savante juxtaposition.
To me abstract art is rubbish. does that make me a Philistine? I don't know or care. I know what i like and i don't like this although I understand the process and vision.
So, get some people…don't train them at all, have them jump in and MAYBE they get a piece that isn't rubbish. Dumb show. And why use a frame that Braque would never use?
John Myatt is an artistic genius and an excellent teacher. This series is wonderful to watch.

I think John Myatt is a very good teacher and I wish we could see more of this type of show. that teach you something while you watch!
The guys painting is the best I've seen on any episode so far....well done sir !
My friends are constantly telling me how brave I am.
😂😂🤣🤣
Rick is generally worried
I like this show cos right from the beginning we know how it's gonna go down - whiskery old rogue is gonna have an energetic and passionate one man show with "experimental and brave" Edna from Hertfordshire , it will be well received .

Goodnight children , sweet dreams ⚉
Wow, Rick's painting was honestly the best ive seen in this series. Very well balanced, good use of shapes, values, and colors. Id buy it.
"I'm not worried about anything specific. I'm generally worried fullstop." As we say here in the '20s, big mood, Rick. Big mood.
This is right inside my comfort zone! Draws a poop dropped in a soup bowl
Wow from forger to really talented tv host and art teacher.
i love how rick uses his pants as a makeshift smock
I thought we all did.
Indeed you are a wonderful teacher & a joy to watch. In the four episode's I've seen I've learnt a lot, thank you!
LOL ‘It’s a work in progress, heading towards a conclusion’
I loved Rick's painting so much. I certainly love this series of fine shows.
The point of the exercise is to do what Braque would do, NOT want she would do (Edna). The over simplification and limited drab palet is the whole point.
Rick did well. Nice painting.
Cassie understands cubism the best. It could be her "home" if she desires.
Agreed.
But given all that, I rather like Edna's painting.
@@renzo6490 she did a good job. Just not a good job of copying the style.
I wish we could see more of John Wyatt! Perhaps he could do something representing Leroy Nieman! He looked like he was having so much fun when painting.
Ron Bianca Myatt, sorry to correct your typo, but I do agree with you.
I really like this guy, and I absolutely adore Georges Braque. So it’s win win for me!
The upside-down technique can be hugely helpful after you tire of looking at the composition for a long time. As an architect, I used to work on my design backwards when I got to a point where "I could not see the forest for the trees".
I do the same.
amazing.....totally agree

Thanks for the upload of this series, its great!
The third painting is quite good. I would actually purchase that.
I would love to take a class from him. When I was in art school, I don’t remember any teacher commenting on my work as it was in progress. Lots of comments and praise after the work was completed.
Edna is really the wrong person in the wrong place. She's not on par with the other two guests. I hope we see more shows like these. They are educational and quality TV :)
RedSoxKal I must say I did feel the same way. Edna was rebelling against the teacher rather than working with him.
@@hadi2397 Some people don't get that limiting yourself can lead to more creativity.

I thought this guy was John Burger, then clicked on the video and he said "My name is John... Mayet"
Glad I discovered him though
This guy is amazing. In watching a few episodes I have learned a tremendous amount about painting and about the masters such as Georges Braque that I admire so greatly.
paint over a failed painting with primer and use it for another painting, good advice.
A wonderful and interesting show!! Thanks for sharing!
Is there more to this program? I have watch them all and shown my art class the videos. A truly great resource.
I never try to do Cubism paintings before, i will love to try it one day.
How can you not notice the sky ... Are you going out for tv programs looking at the sky before ... fantastic....

Great series!

Don't aspire to that as an example. Go to a classical Atelier and learn properly.
Sadly a classical Atelier is beyond the reach of most, as are the time constraints to learn properly. This gives a flavour of the great artists techniques and the reason for their approach. It encourages experimentation and enhances the joy of the process.
Pickup a brush load it with paint and go for it...on canvas. An art teacher who is joyfully inspiring. Thx!
12:19 I have never seen a brush cleaning technique as clever as this
I loved the first one best
great challenge, but they need more than one musical score during the show
Now that you mention it, 7 yrs ago anyway lol, it is a bit annoying to hear the same tune over and over
@@maggs131 mind numbing, couldn't they afford another hour for the composer to come up with another tune? Lol (1 year later)
Maravilhoso!
was a great series. they shud give him some more shows, and preferably let him not go on about his (4 month) prison sentence every show.
I like that first painting. Nothing like Braque though.
Yes she has little takent but used it in a remarkable way, her image almost looked likeca picasso
Love these wish they'd do a new series ?
......it worries me!
brilliant
They should do a Dali episode
And a Genius.
No matter how much energy you use to change the natative truth polishing a turd is your legacy
Why does every episode seem to have a young man, a young woman, and an older woman?
and the older people often tend to be overconfident about their abilities.
In another show he is in, Frame in the frame...he does. He also explains in an earlier episode that he uses all types sometimes diluting with cheaper paints.
'masterclass' - not the word I'd have used!
why, out of interest?
"I'm generally worried."
The word we are looking for is scale.
This episode might be my favorite of this series.
the male student was using his pants as a palette if anyone noticed...
I always do as well, or my Tshirt.
The older lady is scared and her work is brash here, the young lady is open and her art is brilliant. It's all in your emotions.
hey, that's the dude from 'band of brothers'...brill!
Red and yellow together Edna? Orange yep?
Love his picasso!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌
Does John himself always work in acrylics?
no he used house paints for Monet
LT Harry Welsh is that you ?
Black Fish He did a great job in Band of Brothers. I enjoyed that charactet
This is the same Rick Warden, the actor, who played Lt. Welsh in Band of Brothers.
what paints are they using???
Looks like Daler Rowney acrylics, unsure of which series.
This show is made or broken by how good the people there are. it's a really fun experience but the teacher isn't really teaching them anything at all, not that he would have the time. I definitely think that the people should be amateurs who know how to paint well but don't make a living off it.
Does each episode use this formular of
A beautiful, young woman,
A Middle aged woman,
A young or middle aged man?
Interesting.
lol...observant and funny...lol
Great great. Thank you.
Apart from the great masters, cubism is my favourite art style.
r/whoooosh 😔
It's called orange
Are there any plain looking, young females in this series?
They all look very striking.
I'm worried,,,

wtf? I wasn't lookng for It but I found It.
Picasso annoying? I agree.
@17:05 oh boy, she put those brushes in her mouth!🤢
My grandfather was awarded the Croix De Guerre as well, but he was a rubbish painter.
DEUS VULT what was his name?
The second one was very good, the others were crap.
this show would improve if the host dressed up and impersonated the artist without breaking character
All 3 of them missed the mark....cubism looks easy but far from it.
