i'm a dentist. I design smiles; working with lab techs to make veneers for upper front teeth. I will implement this idea of the golden proportions to my work. When I was in dental school, I also came across this ratio in teeth, but I didn't understand where the ratio came from. Now I know. MIND BLOWN! Phufffffff!!!!!

OMG. I told you in a previous post that I am in college for Drawing. They taught me what the golden ratio was, but did not tell us how to actually use it within your art. Thank you so much. I've watched 2 of your videos and have already learned more that the entire year in school. Thank you so much. I will start using the golden ratio in everything I do.

Great explanation! We also all come equiped with our own proportional divider. Stretch out your thumb and first two fingers (like the peace sign +thumb) and you've got yourself a 1:1.618 (roughly) porpotional divider. At 5'9" my first two fingers measure 8 cm apart, and my thumb to first finger measure 13cm, so there's that number series, too!

Another excellent tutorial, well presented, your excitement is infectious. I have ADHD, the times I have had tutorials on the golden section, it never really clicked beyond a basic '2/5 x 3/5'. It has fully 'clicked' now, Thanks again.

I just began taking a beginners painting class at a local School of Arts. The instructor was explaining the Golden Rule but I couldn't grasp the concept. After watching your video, I had a epiphany! It's amazing when you look upon nature to see that we indeed live in an orderly world! Thanks for the informative video.

Andrew, you have to be watched by the Health Authority. Your enthusiasm and teaching style are contagious.

This is a wonderful demonstration of how and why the golden ratio is so pleasing to the eye. I'm not an artist but a photographer; composition is so important whether the viewer realizes it or not. I'll utilize these ideas when composing future images. I now see why some of them "miss the mark." Thanks.

Mind blown. I think what makes this and your other videos so compelling is your excitement at discovery. I pray you never lose that sense of wonder. You are a wonderful teacher, not so much because you are teaching, but because you are sharing your wonder at what you have found. That is what makes great teachers. And your painting shows such skill because you are not striving for "good enough", but for perfection. Thank you!!

Crazy how intuitive this is. I just analyzed my most recent sketch, and bam, the horizon is exactly on the ratio.

15:30 "I don't know about you...but, for me, this works." No kidding! That painting is AMAZING. I love your understatement.

I have been learning Painting from You tube for almost 7 years now and these 18 Minutes have been more useful then all those years combined. You are a Jem Andrew and I am Lucky to have found you on You tube..!

I have been confused and totally dumbfounded by the examples and write ups about the Golden Ratio. The spiral, and the other divisions. You are a beautiful teacher and I really loved watching this. In fact I wish my partner could see this video. He's not an artist but he loves maths and he's also a musician which also in some regards uses maths. Thank you for explaining this better than anyone else has, the visualisation, words and enthusiasm are fantastic. Also your painting is near daunting. It has a lot of power in that one Tisch. I feel this one is dramatic, powerful...it is the same feeling you get when you look out or up at a scene in the world, like a mountain range and realize how small and insignificant you are.. Which is a strange feeling. It's beautifully devastating. 👏

Finally, someone talking sense about art and breaking down these ratios in a language I can understand.

Thank you Andrew, this is by far the best explanation for the golden ratio I've ever seen. I would be very interested in the tutorial for make that caliber, it seems very useful. :)

I've been forcing the ratio into my paintings instead of using the size of the canvas. Using the ratio to determine the size and distance of each main object within the comp. Honestly never thought of dividing up the canvas itself. Awesome!

I'd love to learn how to make the golden ratio tool. I am dyslectic and I was never quite able to comprehend how to utilize the golden ratio, so I've always stuck to the rule of thirds. You explained the golden ratio so well that for the first time I understood. Thank you so much.

I used this method unintentionally in a painting of an alleyway that was somehow spot on. Once I analyzed it, there were golden ratios happening everywhere. Thanks for sharing this.

Great video, Andrew! Your passion and enthusiasm for art is contagious. Thanks for a very clear teaching on the Golden Ratio. Just when I was needing a video on composition, here you are to deliver!

I am so very glad to see you teaching this magnificent principle. I have been teaching this to my students in the studio and in workshops that I teach for several years. I like the way you have applied the golden Ratio to random rectangles. But have you yet explored the related wonders of the “Root Rectangles?” By the way, you have a great guy named Nick Taylor that makes an incredible set of golden ratio calipers in metal.

I’m gonna use this in an oil painting video soon. the video was way more elaborate than the books I’ve read. Amazing video! Amazing teaching! Amazing information!

Listening to you and watching the draw on the board about the Golden Ratio I could perfectly pictured one of your paintings, The Winter Landscape you did a wonderful tutorial? The mist, the trees and the sheep...and say that´s a perfect Golden Ratio. Thank you so much for your generosity sharing with us, for your enthusiasm that is contagious.

One of the best instructional videos I've seen yet. This is a problem I bet 90% of all beginner painters have. Most new painters will look at their piece halfway through, and wonder why it doesn't just look right. This video explains that 100%.

You inspire me to be a better artist and a better teacher. Thank you for validating classical painting and drawing techniques with your own painting examples. Your newly completed landscape painting is amazing; absolutely stunning. Who can argue with "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" This video clearly defines the golden ratio and absolutely exemplifies how to teach it as a foundation in visual composition. As always, your videos are valuable beyond compare. Thank you, Andrew!

Wow! I really learned a lot from this video. I have taken many painting classes and was never told about the golden ratio. You explained it in a way that is very "understandable". Also, your painting is absolutely magnificent.

Andrew, you are such a natural! That was just the best explanation ever! I have been using this ratio in my composition for years and I teach it too, but I had to show my students your video because you did that so well! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing how to make that tool! Loving your podcasts too, Andrew. Thank you, thank you thank you!

I've heard of the golden ratio, however, it boggled my mind with the appropriate way to apply it. Here, you've made it really simple to understand! Thanks!

That golden ratio is amazing! I don't recall ever hearing of that before. The way that you explained it, along with the examples of it's use made it really exciting! I can't wait to try it out! Thank you so much!

Just when I wanted to improve my compositions, excellent timing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Andrew this is really cool. I actually never really got into the golden ratio, I might think about it more. Your new landscape is really also quite incredible. I would love to see a video on how you tackled atmospheric effects like god rays, and mist.

It is a blessing that I found Andrew's videos. He is a MASTER at the craft.

I've watched this several times and taken notes. You are a natural teacher. You painting touched something deep inside of me, it made me feel completely satisfied. It must be your use of the Golden Ratio. Thank you so very much for teaching this.

Great video andrew😀 being someone who loves art but hates math the connection can’t be denied or ignored. Thanks for showing us this

Great explanation! Looking fwd to learning how you made that golden compass!

Simple and clearly elucidated explanation of the golden prinicple - your videos are always so helpful and well produced.

Marvelous-I’m a mathematician without any painting or photographic skills. Your description of the Golden Ratio is absolutely mathematically rigorous, yet practical in its description without ever needing to derive the ratio itself. Beautifully done. Cheers! Steve K.

Very useful information. I was already digging these numbers for years now, Davinci, Michael Angelo and Rafaelo have them a lot in their works. As I got involved in studying Pythagoras' philosophy. they show up in my paintings as well , but after a point I do not go for them, these analogies or close approximations just appear there in my paintings usually. That tool is actually very very cool. Thanks for sharing.

This was crazy helpful! I’ve never understood the meaning or application of the golden ratio before. Thanks Andrew!

I've never heard it explained better, and by a most talented artist. Beautiful work...simply beautiful!

That painting blows my mind. It looks like a photo as does most of your landscapes.

Thank you very much for the explanation. Although this video is about painting, as a newbie photographer, I find this video explains a lot about compositional lessons that also applies in photography as well. This makes me realize and understand the importance of the rule of thirds, not just following those lines simply because everyone else told me to do so.

Oh my goodness, Andrew, thank you for a really fascinating video! Wow did I learn something and got as excited as you!

The baby's mom and her family adore the blanket and repeatedly comment how beautiful it is. Apparently, the Golden Ratio stripes really elevate an otherwise very simple C2C pattern. 😀👍

Awesome explanation Andrew, I have heard of this before however never thought to use it, just usually divide up into thirds. Will definitely give this a try. Now most paintings that use this method size the canvas first for golden rule too which also looks a different ratio than normal. Thanks Andrew.🤯

What about portraits though? Lastly, I love those calipers! Share your secret or even better, market them and make some money (I'll buy them)!
