THE FANTASY ART OF EDMUND DULAC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2021
- A look at the work of one of the Golden Age's greatest illustrators, and the evolution of his stylistic approach during his lifetime. And an eagle-eyed viewer has pointed out there is an error. When mentioning The Rubaiyat I show illustrations from Arabian nights, so for now just ignore it and eventually I'll remake the video and replace the images.
![EST Gee - NEVER NEED (Feat. Selfpaid Savage) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/f2cRtr52HXI/mqdefault.jpg)
I love Dulac; he's one of those artists whose works I wish I could just walk into.
Hello and what a nice idea - I saw a video of a virtual walk into a Dali painting so I presume somebody could do the same for Dulac and others. That I'd like to see.
I read this in your avatar's voice. 😅
❤️
I’m that way with the art of Maxfield Parrish, Alphonse Mucha, and Malika Favre
hi jane!
Anyone contemplating an arts documentary should use this as a template.The images are presented simply with fine definition.The commentary concise and warmly spoken.The music complimenting the art.Dulac wonderful to see the range and development of his art.Brilliant.
Hello and many thanks for such a glowing review of the channel. The appreciation of viewers is of great importance to me and lets me know I'm not wasting my time.
@@petebeard Very well done, Pete! Looking forward to exploring more of your videos. Rackham next!
Never heard of Edmund Dulac (!) and this was spell-binding for the reasons you give, may I add the pace was a perfect balance of having time to engage each image while encompassing enough to support the narrative.
@@TheJhtlag Hello and many thanks for your positive response to the video. I hope you'll look for others on the channel.
Imagine if he'd given in fully to his parents pressuring him to finish law. These beautiful artworks would never have come to life. Toxic controlling parents, are you taking notes?
Those "desaturated watercolors" really draw me in. Thank you for sharing this wonderful work.
Hello and it's a funny thing with Dulac. He was sort of two for the price of one. But those images for the Poe verses are something to see for sure.
This channel is one of the things from a series called ''How Comes I've Never Been Here Before?'' I am now smugly smiling from ear to ear. I have checked what the rest of the channel looks like. It looks like I've struck the gold here. Wow.
Hello and many thanks for your enthusiastic reponse to the channel. I hpe you continue to find illustrators of interest.
same here!!
I agree. This channel is a hidden gem

This channel was recommended today and It's such a beautiful surprise, loved the art and the voice feels just perfect.
Hello and welcome to the channel. I hope you continue to find more work by illustrators you will like.

What ethereal art work..so beautiful and detailed.. two world wars sadly interrupted his work.
Hello and glad you like the video. I hope you'll watch others.

So many creatives face the same dilemma..still now..the security of a "normal" job as opposed to be an impoverished artist..
Breaking away to follow your heart is difficult..but it has been done many times.
Finally the RUclips algorithm comes through! This series will provide perfect coffee break entertainment for a good while, thank you.
Hello and thanks a lot. I'm glad you've found the channel and I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Red wine - addictive, chocolate - addictive, Pete Beard’s videos - addictive…, just a few of the pleasures that I am lucky enough to be able to indulge myself in . Thanks Pete.
He and eloquent praise as ever. Maybe I should start a rehab clinic. Force addicts to watch panda videos instead until they're clean.
My relief work ruclips.net/channel/UCOM9PM-7Nnv2OXkSQfx4hzg
Such a great episode, and an illustrator dear to my heart. I had the pleasure of seeing one of his original watercolours and it was jewel-like - every facet being of genius. Learning about his life from this has been great. Thank you again Mr Beard!
Hello again and seeing one in the flesh so to speak is a pleasure I've never had. I did some work for a collector who owns the original of the mermaid image I used on the titles. But he's in Florida and I'm stuck here. Oh well.
Awww lucky collector! Thanks again 👩🎨 - the under-water theme is close to my heart - as you will see by my 3D work - @catherinelindsay.sculpts
Hi again, and I've been admiring your sculptures so thanks for the link. It's such a pleasure to see art that actually looks like something of beauty rather than the totally abstract and worse that seems to dominate both 2D and 3D modern art. I hope you are enjoying success with your work.
Imagine if he'd given in fully to his parents pressuring him to finish law. These beautiful artworks would never have come to life. Toxic controlling parents, are you taking notes?
Rackham and Dulac are two of my favorite Illustrators. Thanks
Hello and the same here.
Art Historian: One can clearly see the Pre-Raphaelite influences in his early Art Neuvo inspired works.
Me: Ooooooooooooh- PURTY!!!!
Imagine if he'd given in fully to his parents pressuring him to finish law. These beautiful artworks would never have come to life. Toxic controlling parents, are you taking notes?
Yes, they were inspiring him. We all get inspired by fellow artists.
I'm happy these paintings were with me in books when I have been growing up.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment. No doubt about it - Dulac was a genius.
That painting at 1:04 is one of my all time favorites!
I'm so thankful I found this. The video thumbnail illustration returned a forgotten childhood memory to me in a flash. I had a fairytail illustration book and I remember The Little Mermaid illustrations as very haunting. THIS was one of the images. I'll search the deep web for more of his illustrations, how nostalgic! Thank you.
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation. Have fun online - there are a large number of his illustrations to be found, and even some complete books at Project Gutenberg.
I still have my H.C. Andersen book with his illustrations.
it's one of only 5 books I've held on to
Superb, both Mr. Dulac, and your presentation, Mr. Pete. My heart has been touched by beauty and wonder today.
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation. Dulac's wonderful pictures made my job that much easier.
I had an uncle,a refugee from France. He had a nice set of art books that he somehow managed to keep. He was a watchmaker, so he was able to live comfortably here. I remember how kind he was for allowing me to look through his collection. It was a rare gift that he gave me. 👍
Hello and thanks for the comment. Wish I had seen them.
WONDERFUL!!!!! An exceptional artist! Thanks for posting with bows from another artist.
Hello and thanks for watching. This video has proven to be by far the most watched - and admired - that I've made so far.
I adore the delicate line work and muted color palette of Rackham and Dulac. My favorite illustrators to be sure!
Hello and you're certainly not alone in your appreciation of these giants of the golden age.
A beautiful and very well researched episode.
Beautifully presented.
Thank you Mr. Beard.
Thank you Pete Beard for your commitment to making these wonderful celebrations of great illustrators.
Your appreciation is very welcome, and it's good to know you enjoy the content.
Immediately recognizable, Edmund Dulac's visionary images exist as stunning examples of the beauty of the Golden Age of Illustration.
Hello and of course I agree entirely with your opinion of this great illustrator.
@@petebeard He was brilliant, as are your videos Pete
Thank you so much! Dulac is my favorite illustrator, but I never knew he did as much fabulous work as this, nor did I know anything about his life.
Hello and thanks a lot. I'm glad I've been able to extend your appreciation of his marvellous work.
Outstanding watercolors. Such delightful and rich jewel tones!
Thanks a lot. He really was a talented man and should be widely celebrated.
Thank you posting this of artist Dulac.Greatly appreciate the works of someone tirelessly interest of color and style for fantasy and story telling.A well done documentary.
Hello to you and thanks a lot for your positive response.
I grew up on Dulac, and so it was wonderful to hear and see his life work in this video. Thank you Peter.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of the video.

Becoming a successful artist is extremely rare. Most parents are just looking out for their kids' wellbeing.
@@PraiseTheFSMonster There are actually way more jobs in art than many people believe*. And jobs very closely related to being an artist. It's a matter of having the education/background, and not insisting that your first, or 8th job is going to make you the artist you see yourself as in your own dreams. Plus a lot of, lot of, lot of practice and a bit of luck. Realizing, too, that jobs kind of close to what you want to do but still bring in a paycheck are better than giving up the dream, or stubbornly hitting your head against a wall (not finding "the job" the first time) that just isn't going to budge, this time. Better to bend a bit, but consistently bending towards the dream. If more you g people could (calmy) express this to their parents, along with the opportunities they would be willing to take before the dream job comes, or the money to have one's own studio and gallery, parents might be more comfortable with "I'm going to be an artist!" (*The Bureau of Labor Statistics can be a good place to start).
I have to say, your homages to the great artisits of the past are quite engaging, thought provoking and works of art in their own right.. Thanks so much!
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of what I'm trying to do with the channel. Your comment is most welcome.
Great job again Pete. Dulac is so hard to capture because of his adaptive and changing styles through temperament, shapes, gesture and palate. His ability to pull it off makes for a weak “brand” if you will, but gains him hero status in the field. Always a surprise and yet another jewel to be found his. My teachers at California College of the Arts(and Crafts) would share him like a treasured secret. In classes for illustration, watercolor, figure drawing, color, and graphic design his name and work would pop up as would the oooos and awwws . His work spanning; intaglio, letterpress, and litho. From the Wright brothers to jets, Model Ts to Thunderbirds. Art Nouveau, Deco, Both World Wars. Europe to America, Quite a life of always learning and changing. A survivor and in the end = Hero
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of the video. Such comments keep me motivated to produce more. In the case of Dulac my problem was what to leave out, rather than what to include.As you rightly point out, such a prolific and persisently creative man.
Thanks again. I love this series for its beautiful art, excellent production - and the way I feel so relaxed afterwards.
Hello and your ppreciation is always welcome. It's good to know that I can be educational, entertaining and therapeutic all at the same time!
I loved watching this, I have three very early books displaying his art.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. I hope you'll watch other videos on the channel too.
Beautiful work
This was an excellent presentation. I am more familiar with Rackham's work, and had no idea that Dulac had such a huge body of work. I was completely unfamiliar with his later work, and it was interesting to note the looser style and fresher colour palette he later adopted.
Hello and yes unlike Rackham Dulac was really two different illustrators. The change of style seemed to come on quite suddenly and nobody's telling why. Maybe he just felt like a change.
@@petebeard I love the way he incorporated middle eastern and Eastern styles of Painting. I had no idea of this side of his work. I have several of his books and treasure them. What incredible talent. I would love to know how to desaturate colour.
I remember seeing very beautiful art pieces as a young child. Only now do I realize that it is this artist. The many illustrations I have seen was in an antique shop once when I was young.
I loved picture books then before I started to only read chapter books and novels at the age of six, and remember stumbling upon one of the books that had his art in it. It was Sleeping Beauty, and the pages were very old and faded. I asked the lady who owned it where it came from, and she told me that it was passed down in a family for generations. How it got in her shop was due to the death in the family, and the members did not want many of the things that they found to be junk.
She then showed me some beautiful faerie figurines and prints in a small corner of her shop. I wanted to jump into the illustrations and go to far off places. When my relatives came to look for me, I didn't budge from where I was standing. They had to drag me out of there. I remember being mad that I couldn't play with the faeries. My mom told me that I had my own Tinkerbell toys and fairy costumes at home waiting for me. I said "But they are not as pretty as these! These are art!", lol.
My grandmother then bought me a bunch of art books. As I got older, she gave me a human biology textbook printed in the nineties, so the information was outdated, but I still loved to read and interpret the articles until I had my own way of understanding it. I used it to make art. I believed that you needed life to make art, so I studied everything.
I would catch bugs and butterflies as well to use as models, then set them free. I wanted to know and understand how many of the well respected artists made art and music, so I would study and research as much as I could.
I would go to the library at school whenever I got the chance. I never bothered with the picture books, but the ones about science. Many of the kids made fun of me for how odd I was.
But thd art teacher loved me. She always wanted to display my art. When we did self portraits, (mind you this was third grade), I amazed the adults with my accuracy. Due to my age, they expected the typical drawing a third grader would do. But I had confronted my identity and went on a journey of how others saw me, and how I saw myself. I combined the two and just drew. I didn't know what it was until it was finished since I was so concentrated.
I was very quiet and shy when it came to my art and reading books, as well as studying science books. When she wanted to have it displayed in the library, I was of course very embarrassed. But she said I was very good at it and had a strong sense of self image.
I don't really draw myself much anymore, but do draw many other things. I love doing watercolors and mixed mediums to get unique textures and interesting colors.
I still view that if art has no true sense or core of life deeply within it, and it is just flat and mundane(corporate art for example, Google, Facebook, etc.), it is not truly art. It needs to have a heart in order to convey it's emotions and theme if it has any.
Art tells a story which is unique to every individual who comes across it. Art also doesn't just exist in paintings, sketches, or statues. It is us as well. We are living, walking pieces of art. We were the beginning of what art is now today. We created it. Whether it be by accident or purposefully, we created regardless.
So look around you. Art is everywhere. It is in everything.
Hello to you and thanks a lot for your very personal reflection on the nature of creating images. As someone who is worryingly near the end of this journey I can say with conviction that drawing and making pictures all my life has been one my greatest pleasures and kept me just this side of sane.
Які витончені і красиві роботи!!😍 Дякую за інфо та наглядно презентовану тяглість творчості Дюлака. Наразі, є від чого стартувати у пошуках:)
Велике спасибі за ваш коментар та привітання з тим, що я, на мою думку, є моїм першим глядачем в Україні.
My grandmother adores this artist. She has been working on a needlepoint of one of his mermaid watercolours for years.
Hello and thanks for watching. Your grandmother is far from alone - this is my most popular video by a considerable margin.
A delightful serendipity! I didn’t know the artist before- what a discovery. Love the magical and exquisite illustrations- and being transported to the marvelous worlds of Dulac’s imagination. Thank you so much. A real treat.
Hello and thanks a lot for your enthusiastic respones to the video. There is undoubtedly a quality to his work that encourages the viewer to immerse themselves into his world.
Dulacs images, with their oriental influences, have all the gorgeous colours of tiny exquisite enamels, and the delicate touch of a great watercolourist and a mastery of textures. His work was very evocative, magical and it has always spoken deeply to me, like Rackhams work.. Thank you for this.
Hello to you and naturally enough I absolutely agree with you about both these illustrator's work. Breathtaking and genre-defining.
Thank you Pete,for this series of illustrators. Well done.
Thanks a lot. It's a labour of love for me.
A rare genius .such fine detail and beautiful colouring.What an imagination!Nothing Like his work is being done today.
Naturally enough I share your opinion. Such talent is rare indeed.
The cultivation of the imagination is a blessing. Today, people are slapped with labels that may deter the mind from wandering, thus promoting a trend towards uniformity of thought. People become comfortable, and noninquisitive, when things are predictable.
Fostering an approach that looks to the (inner, and outer) horizons, could be a great asset.
I like being on the edge of my seat, or finding an escape from the mundane, sometimes.
It makes me feel like I am ready for anything, and at the same time flowing into everything.
Fascinating and inspirational. Beautiful work beautifully presented. Thank you.
Hi and your appreciation for the work means a lot to me. Keeps me motivated.
What an incredible video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Edmund Dulac was obviously so talented and creative.
Hello and thanks a lot for your enthusiastic response. I hope you'll find others you like on the channel.
I've just discovered your fine channel and immediately thrilled to see a documentary on Dulac. I still have Dulac's The Snow Queen given to me at the age of 12 (I'm now 60), and I remember spending hours studying his fantasy worlds. That volume is still nearest me on the bookshelves: the best things should always be near to hand as well as heart. Thank you for revealing his life, as well as his extraordinary career. I had no idea he was so versatile.
Hello and welcome to the channel. Thanks a lot for your appreciation, and as an admirer of Dulac I'm reasonably confident you'll find more on the channel thats of interest. I hope so, at least.
A quite brilliant series and Dulac, perhaps the greatest illustrator of that era,
Hello and thanks for your appreciation of the channel. My personal favourite (most days) is Heath Robinson, but there are just too many greats from that era.
Another of my favorites !😅. So far every one of your RUclipss has been a fave.
Years ago I photocopied some Dulacs and framed them and sent to my new born niece. Now I'm going to do the same for my granddaughter.
Hello and thanks a lot for your favourable comment. It's always a pleasure to hear that viewers enjoy the content. And what a good idea - get your grand-daughters started early with art appreciation!
I love water colours. Thank you for this, another new artist from my perspective 🙂
Hello and it's a particular pleasure to know that I'm bringing these great illustrators to the attention of viewers who were previously unaware of their work.
Dulac's art was ahead of his time. So intriguing and also to the narrator,you have such comforting voice. Happy holidays ~
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of the video, and my croaky old voice. Both very welcome.
Reminds me of Kay Neilsen, and Rackham as well. This is my absolute favorite style of art. Stunning!!!
Hello and thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it and both Rackham and Neilsen also feature in other videos on the channel.
@@petebeard Ooo wonderful!!! Can't wait to watch!!!
Hello again and Rackham should be easy to find as he gets a vudeo to himself. Neilson features in unsung heroes of illustration 4 just to help you find him. Why I didnt do one just on him I can't imagine.
So glad I discovered you today, with YT's suggestion of Maxwell Parrish. You've achieved the perfect balance of content, pace, information, and I love your voice. The writers, but more especially the illustrators of children's books of the Golden Age, made a deep impression on my early years. I'm looking forward to recapturing those memories with your videos - thank you!
Hello and welcome to the channel. I'm pleased to say there are a large number of other videos which are either entirely about particualr illustrators, such as Rackham and Pogany, and a host of others dotted about in the unsung heroes series. I hope you find them of interest.
Thrilled to find this channel Sir. Amateur interest here in all illustrations from Empire. I shopped a LOT at the Dover Bookshop when in the UK. A few years ago tried water colouring some. Plenty of joy and not too bad, even though I say so myself. Much gratitude for your dedicated work, and peace from Kenya, Sir!! 😊🙏
Only a few days ago I've come across this channel and I'm already mesmerized by all the knowledge, effort and love that has gone into it. Thanks a lot!
Hello and many thanks for your enthusiastic response. Such comments keep me motivated to make more.
He definitely inspired many of the fantasy illustrations I grew up with from the 80s and 90s. Very wonderful and influential, thank you for highlighting illustrators! 🧡
Hello to you and thanks a lot for your appreciation of the video. I hope you'll continue to find others you like on the channel.
Dulac was a wonderful illustrator glad to see his work being introduced to a wider audience..
Hello and many thanks for your recent comments.I have always found it borderline criminl that illustration generally doesn't get anything loke the attention it deserves. So if my channel rectifies that even by a small amount then I reckon I'm not wasting my rime.
Seeing these beautiful artworks makes me cry with happiness. ✨🌸✨
Hello and I'm really glad you enjoyed it (not sure about the tears though).

Hello and thanks very much. I hope you'll watch others.
Another great video, I must say I have been enjoying your videos for a long while now. You have brought so many illustrators to my attention, that I might not have otherwise discovered, and they have been a great inspiration for my own illustration. Thanks, and keep the great content coming 👍👍😃
I couldn't agree more.
Hello and thanks for your appreciation and dedication to the cause. It's particularly pleasing to know that it's useful for actual illustrators as well as those who like it.
@@petebeard It has been very helpful to me. You have such a depth of knowledge in this field, it's incredible 👍
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for such a well done video. The illustrations selected were excellent choices to show the progression of his work. As a child, we had one of his books. Being an absolute nerd, I would sit and look at the illustrations and make up my own stories. I couldn’t read yet. I have no idea what happened to the family books after I left home and moved away. I try not to think about. For me the loss of these personal treasures is painful, like losing an old friend.
I know just what you mean, I'd kill for my Yellow Fairy Book and my East of the Sun, West of the Moon I had as a child. I could get lost for what seemed like hours in the illustrations, as a child one is immersed in the pictures, it was magic.
Hello and many thanks for your positive response to the video. I hope you'll seek out others on the channel too.
I have had that very illustration (4:39) saved on my phone for a few years now. I loved it when I first saw it, but it was not credited and I couldn't find out where it came from.
I never expect that little bonus in addition to a great video, so thank you!!
Hello and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I never heard of this artist..thank you..love his work
Hello and thanks for the comment. It's a good feeling to know I've introduced an illustrator of this quality to a viewer on the channel.
Thanks Pete, you teached me more about illustration history then 3 years of BA illustration studies.
Hello to you and sadly my own experiences teaching illustration confirm that most of those teaching the subject at university know very little and don't much care for the subject. You're better off - financially and educationally - teaching yourself.
The was a beautiful documentary. Thank you. I enjoyed the honest appreciation for the work and lack of cynical criticism.

I saw an exhibit of illustrations in which Dulac was featured. It was fabulous to see his watercolors in person. Arthur Rackham was also included and was equally delicious.

ah pete I think im not only loving the artists you show but also your documentary style. Its honestly perfect! :D
Its so cool to see how Dulac´s style changed through the years. I feel like there is at least a style for anyone to love in his work.

@@petebeard Hello Pete, I really appreciate your wonderful work, thanks again!
Makes me want to rush out to a second hand bookshop and browse for hours. Have always loved this artist but didn't know his name. Thank you, for the information and the images.

Fantastic work yet again Pete. I can’t thank you enough for highlighting artists I would otherwise not know anything about. Much appreciated!
It really does brighten my day to know viewers appreciate the channel. Thanks a lot.
Fantastic channel!
Wonderful, will work through your videos this weekend, fascinating stuff. 👍🏼😎
Hello and thanks a lot. You might want to space them out a bit though - familiarity breeds contempt I hear.
I have a first edition 1908 The Tempest with 30 to 40 separate color pictures, each one covered and protected by sheets of tissue paper. It is exquisite. As a child I was fascinated by the pictures and my mother left it to me on her death. The colors are vivid and beautiful and it is one of my most treasured possessions. People have suggested that i should take the plates out and have them mounted into picture frames. What sacrilege.
Hello and that's a book I would love to see. I've only seen later reprints. It would be an act of barbarism to destroy the book - but you could scan the illustrations and have them digitally printed so you could have them on your walls and still have the book. Just a thought.
@@petebeard Value wise it is not great. There is even one available on EBay for around £300 but artistically and sentimentally it is invaluable. Also i have to say that i enjoyed your production and video so much that the excitement made me forget to thank you for your work and effort. You have greatly educated me yesterday.
i loved this video, i had never heard of dulac before. thank you for making this ❤️
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of the video - and of course Dulac's astonishingly beautiful work. I hope you'll watch others on the channel too.
@@petebeard i sure will! thank you again!
these drawings/art works were in a 10 volume set my father gave me as a child/baby. it was called the home university bookshelf. thru the years they have disappeared. sadly.loved them.
Hello, and yes it's sad that what used to be treasured items can slip away over the years. All I can say is I'm grateful that at least these images still exist for new generations to admire.

As a child I was fascinated by the pictures and my mother left it to me on her death. The colors are vivid and beautiful and it is one of my most treasured possessions. People have suggested that i should take the plates out and have them mounted into picture frames. What sacrilege.
I had previously only seen his more Rackhamesque work, but all the stylistic art is also very lovely. Such a prolific talent! Thank you for the video, I'll have to hunt down some of these books now. 😁
Hi and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do love the early stuff but the later oiental work is more distinctive. Unless you want to own the books as objects many of them are available at project gutenberg complete with his illustrations for free.
@@petebeard I agree. Thanks for the tip! I use that site often, never thought to look for illustrators though. I'm definitely a book person. So I might do a little hunting as well. Have a wonderful day!
Excellent episode! Thank you.
Hi and thanks again - I'm glad you enjoyed it. With a talent like Dulac's my job is much easier.
Thank you. Art nourishes the soul.
Hello and you'll get no argument from me on that score. Although I have my doubts about abstract expressionism...
Most of the artists you featured so far, I have a book of. Having to used to work in a book publication has its own advantage. Dulac is one of my favorites.
This is great stuff. Thank you for creating all those videos.
Hello and when viewers are appreciative of the channel it really keeps me motivated to produce more.
This channel is a gem. So glad I came across it. Duly subscribed.
Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Reggio Calabria.
Hello and many thanks for your comment, appreciation and subscription. I hope you continue to enjoy the content.
Your voice is really calming and illustrations are lovely, so glad I’ve clicked on this video!
Hello and thanks a lot for your flattering remarks - but Dulac gets all the credit for the pictures. I hope you'll watch and enjoy more on the channel.
He was fascinated by the art of the middle-east , like the great painter.... , and the illustrator.... , not to mention...., all of them great visual artists ! :)))))
Imagine if he'd given in fully to his parents pressuring him to finish law. These beautiful artworks would never have come to life. Toxic controlling parents, are you taking notes?
@@ayeshak6822 Yes I get that ! My point was , there is no middle eastern painter or visual artist , because the coran is a serious break in what involves culture, or art, or science, or any other intellectual endeavor !
Thank you for this amazing production.
Hello and thanks a lot for your positive comment. I hope you'll watch other content on the channel too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this toghether!
Hello and thanks to you for your positive respnse. I hope you'll seek out others on the channel too.
Nice to hear a yorkshire accent being an authority on a fine arts topic, instead of the usual monopoly of RP.
Hello and thanks. But just to nitpick (and I really don't mind) I'm from Manchester - the other side of the pennines. I did live in Leeds for quite a few years though so maybe I picked up a bit of Yorkshire there. Either way I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you'll watch others on the channel.
@@petebeard Sorry!!! Excuse my hubris; it appears I can't really tell northern accents apart that well. :)
And yes, I certainly will!
