The fake American accent is funny but it also hurts my ears. 😀
au champ eliser lalaal champ eliser yooo
what is the name of the painting in 12:00 ??
Hi Arturo! It is “Serenite “ by Henri Martin www.musee-orsay.fr/en/artworks/serenite-9269
Do you use a brand that has Vermillion- if so, will you tell me which it is? I can't find it online and have searched online and there does not seem to be agreement for an alternative to that color - closest seems to be either Cad Red L or M. What do you actually use? Thank you. I have enjoyed several paintings using your Van Gogh style - not ready to post yet...bold and colorful. I would love to see more LANDSCAPE videos in the Van Gogh style, acrylic version. Thank you.
Hi Lolita! Not sponsored in any way, but I am currently using PEBEO 😋, and yes: I am preparing more landscapes 😄!!!
@@mygeekfamilycotton I have spent hours trying to purchase individual colors of Pebeo - I see they have the PR188 Vermillion Red....can't find out how to purchase here in the states. I will try to contact them direct next week. Thanks, Lolita
@lolitakaloustianyoung7787 I know they are distributed in USA, but not sure how widely… I guess you could substitute for a cadmium red, that maybe more readily available?
@@mygeekfamilycotton Thank you, I will use Cad Red and continue to research availability.
as awalys, great video
Thank you so much! ☺️
Your video is interesting and informative, however, the large screen in the background with you teaching a different lesson is distracting.
Yes, sorry about it. I wanted to try something to make the background more lively and it didn’t work… I don’t do it anymore.😂
Yes!! Maxfield Parrish is one of my VERY VERY favorite artists too!! Would LOVE to see that also!!
Haha! 😋 love your enthusiasm! I will need to study a bit…
You did LEYENDECKER!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! Love your painting!! THANK YOU soo much!!
Thank you!
UGH Top Ten. DELECTABLE.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video !
Thanks a lot!
“No” ~Neo
George Inness would be interesting.
Hey Jayson! Thanks for watching. Inness would be nice, yeah. I haven’t done a landscape in a while. I’ll keep it in mind! Cheers
Your painting is great. I like the JC L. style. If possible, you may consider one of my favorite painters "Maxfield Parrish". A pleasure to see you again.
Thank you for being here, Édouard! And, yes, Maxfield Parrish could be interesting… let me see. For next month, it looks like I am going back to the Dutch classics… 😋
First time watching your channel.
Thanks for watching! I Hope it’s not the last time! 😂😂😂
What is your palette for Rembrandt?
Hi Stephanie, I actually used my regular palette: Yellow Ochre, Vermillion, Cerulean Blue (for Rembrandt, I used it mostly to mix as a way to darken warm colors), Burnt umber, white and a little bit of black. Hope this helps!
Elizabeth Vigee Le Brun, please?
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I am forever looking for an effective limited palette in acrylics - do you use a limited palette or recommendations? Thank you.
I do use a very limited palette : Black(sparingly, as I usually prefer brown+blue) and white, yellow ochre, Vermillion, Cerulean Blue and Burnt umber. a bit like a variation of the Zorn Palette. I sometimes complement this with other colors when I need a more complex and particular hue : purple, vert-de-gris, lime green... that type of things... having said that, I find that, for "classical" portraits and landscapes, the limited palette is already fantastic, although a more "modern" style would call for maybe more popping colors (Maybe you can replace the ochre by a yellow?) Hope that helps?
@@mygeekfamilycotton I look forward to trying your limited palette. Have you a preferred medium - i.e. oil, acrylic? Thank you again.
@@lolitakaloustianyoung7787 hey Lolita! I usually use acrylics. Cheers
this is great
Thanks a lot!
you are marvelous in your instruction, comments. I just 'found' you, subscribed & will follow w/ great anticipation. Seriously, I've painted for years - and - learned so much today. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for watching, Lolita! I try to keep it simple and share my experience, so much of these techniques, used by the masters, can help our own styles! Cheers and see you around!
Love this! Tell me, do you ever paint in watercolor? Perhaps a watercolor like Sergeant? Thanks❤
Thanks Patty! Yes, I do some watercolor (you should be able to find some in the playlist) but never did it in Sargent’s style… maybe soon? 😋
C'est top , merci
De rien! Merci d’avoir regardé!
I love how bold your first layer of colors is. Schiele had such a new take on watercolor !
Thanks! Yes, he was very daring for the skin tones: green, orange, blue! ❤️ thanks for watching!
Ces vidéos sont absurdes. Quand on peint comme un peintre connu, on a l'air bête.
wow!!!
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you,Brooke!
No, not all I will be back, I have had a few people tell me that one of my paintings remind them of klimt , I thought that was a good thing especially since I am just starting out
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
@mygeekfamilycotton I thought it was pretty cool since it was more then one person that told me that
Thank you so much for the helpful tips. This will really help me with my art practicle class! Were doing self potraits and Frida Kahlo is one of our 4 artist models! This video was most helpful, thank you very much! 👍🏽💙
Happy I could help! Cheers!
Love your intro first time watching you!
Thank you for watching! I hope it’s not the last one! 😂
Well done. I love the painting!
Thanks, Adrian!
Out of all the Art channels, yours is my favorite, hands down 👍🏻🙏🏻🎨
Awww! Thanks a lot James! 😋
Wonderfully done as always
Thanks a lot!
Funny comedy sketch. The "your momma paints stick figures" line was hilarious. Chagall and your breakdown of his work and technique makes sense. Thanks as always.
Thank you for watching!
I am feeling a bit under the weather today and your demon made me laugh. 🎉
Haha great! 😂😂😂
Your inspiration brights our days...thank you!
Awww, happy to share my little crazy times! Thanks for watching!
FRANCIS BACON! I dare you! Love your channel. Much thanks.
Haha! Thanks a lot! Yeah, Bacon is on my list! A bit of patience! Thanks
Thanks for the help! The next painting for my class is an O'Keefe inspiration, and this definitely helped
Great! Happy I could help! Let me know if you need anything else!
This is sufficiently weird to make me subscribe and to just love the fun. As a working artist and art, social and political agitator, I use me age (75) and thoroughly unearned authority to excuse much of my unruly, foolish and sometimes confrontational behavior. can you tell me about your hat? Something I might like to use as a prop in portraits or adopt myself
Haha! Pleasure to have you here! My hat is a cross between a fez and a Victorian smoking cap. To be honest, I sew it myself and made a mistake in the measurements. Ended up with a ridiculously tall smoking cap that I finally embraced, once bunched up on the head…
😂 I’ll stick to Basquiat
Thank you this was very informative and helpful
Thank you for watching!
Excellent, thank you 😊
Thank you for watching, Suzann!
This is a beautiful painting. Rothko had more light tho.
Thank you! This is just an exercise to demonstrate the effect of layers. Rothko was actually never using “pure” Color but was almost always mixing his colors. And some of them were very dark! Thanks for watching!
Do you do commissions?
Hi Ydnis! Usually no, sorry… I have a “real” job that keeps me busy and painting is only my passion…
Have you done Vermeer? Would like to see something there
hello! no, not yet, but it is in the works! I will ask you a bit a patience because I want to show how a camera obscura works, etc... thanks for watching!
Pretty sure the one about Van Gogh eating paint is a popular myth, although there is film footage (on RUclips, even) of Picasso painting. He was indeed not fully clad.
For Van Gogh, I found the info several times, from different sources, so there must be some truth? 😄
When VG passed, it was found he had large amounts of lead in the body due to eating paint regularly (this would have given him plumbism, in part responsible for his poor health, mental and physical). However, another theory going around is that he wanted to poison himself by eating paint and drinking turpentine... I guess we will never know for sure...
Fun. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff sir! .... love it.
Thanks a lot!

Aaawwww thank you, Cathy! 😋
I feel claustrophobic when I see an Gustav Klimt painting. Thanks.
Hi Édouard! Why? Is it the small cells patterns or the bodies, bonded in the drapes? 😂
@@mygeekfamilycotton All of the above !!.
