Note: I included the quote at 12:37 to illustrate the contradictory nature of Van Gogh's behavior. He saw the value in eating well and living in a balanced manner, despite the fact that he struggled to actually live that way himself. Sounds a little bit like human nature, doesn't it? We're full of contradictions. Seemed like he was just trying to figure things out like the rest of us.

The quote at 0:47 is probably translated misleadingly from the original Dutch. If the original is "Wat met liefde wordt gedaan wordt goed gedaan." then I would translate it as "What is done with love is done well", because if you say "in love" you might think that he means "when you are in love with someone" whereas he probably did not mean this at all. He would have said "Wat verliefd gedaan wordt, wordt goed gedaan", which we all sure wish was true, but isn't necessarily the case for all tasks...

I wanted to look up the quote at 12:37 because I needed a double take on the "screw" formulation. I couldn't find it. I was looking for the Dutch. He wrote it in French. My French is terrible, but it does seem like he used a rather course formulation there... it seems like a strange contrast between the tone he used with his brother. Odd...

I love your videos, the intensity with which you live your life. I'm suddenly appreciating how my parents and grandparents took me all over France every year of my childhood - mother Parisian and father English. I've lived most of my adult;life in Japan. I'd like to live the other end of my healthy life span with the intensity you do (72 now).

Thank you for sharing ! I just ordered a handful of art tanks from Threadless, one of which states, "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." I read it as a version of a quote I was more familiar with - "We know a ship is safest at harbor, but that is not what it's designed for." I have never read yours before, and now I wonder how long this particular train of thought has been passed along.

The reason you get tired after painting so long is not a food issue, its passion. Van Gogh was an impassioned painter- someone who compulsive painted. That is what he HAD to do. A blessing and a curse for him, I'm sure. The message here is that everyone has some thing they HAVE to do. Life is about finding that out.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, to pay the penalty for us by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

I always feel sad for Vincent, and then I thank him for all that he did for us artists despite everything he went through. Now excuse me while I go and watch the clip from Doctor Who were Vincent gets to see and hear his art get appreciated. Thank you Nathaniel for this masterpiece of yours.💖

Don’t say his name like you know him

I'm actually moved by Van Goth's life story. At first, I thought it was all tragic and sad cause he was admitted into asylum, died young and couldn't make a living out of his drawings. But having learned that he recieved such love and support from his closed ones and thanks to them his artworks haven't gone unnoticed throughout the years. Apart from that, the beauty and courage of following what's best for him. Turns out he's the lucky one !

When I was at art college three decades ago, I read the complete letters - quite a commitment, but you really much better got the sense of the man. They made me realise the cost of genius is total constant absorption and obsession to the exclusion of all else. Whilst being drawn to that, and admiring it, I realised rather early that I didn't want to emulate it. Indeed, as you hinted, with our interruptus world, maybe that kind of genius is extinct in the modern era, or at least highly threatened. Anyway, great video as always.

@@jakefootball9402 I love this view. The only thing I would look at is the intention of the tortured genius; do what you love and have people who love you for it. The question of being tortured or a genius didn't enter their mind because they had fulfilled their highest desire and strove towards it while the pressures of society tried to sway them to love more than just their work.

What I love about his work is that you can feel it, it's not about the detail at all, that's like the ultimate goal of art to transfer feeling into it

"The tools at our disposal aren't worth anything if we don't have the systems and the right approach to make the best of them." - Damn, Nathaniel! Couldn't have said it better. Absolutely right.

The most brilliant thing about Van Gogh is his use of color in my opinion. Nobody understood the color theory and how to use it for direct emotion then him at this time.

I suffer from depression, and I have a print of his Sunflowers (the Munich version) in my bedroom. You can see such despair and struggle in the work, but also _so_ much hope and light. Much of his work is like that and when I look at them, I somehow feel seen in return. He truly would never have had any idea how much his work would help us.

Nataniel, there are very few times I say this on youtube, but this video is art. I love you artistic approach to video making and editing, it truly is a fresh look on what KZread can be. KZread nowadays is so meta and gamified, like just super high energy challenges with big stakes. I love this video on a multitude of levels, I really appreciate you work man!

I couldn't have said it better. I SO appreciated this video!

You and Ter (youtuber from Spain) have helped me reconnect with art so much I actually started making videogame and anime weapons replicas. I know it's not classical art at all, but while crafting and painting them I'm able to experiment with materials in such an unconstricted way, nothing like the way I learnt to do things in college while studying industrial design. So muchas gracias Nat! Me encantan tus videos!

I really love these "daily routine" videos. I mean, I love all your vids, but these are a particular fav.

Your filmmaking, writing, cinematography, creativity, style is top top👏🏻

I like the beautiful message you wrote in the end thanking him cause I am sure he received it

Thank you for continuing this series!! It’s my favourite ❤

Lovely to see you going back to these videos, Nathaniel. Well done.

You and your family are so talented. I enjoy watching your videos and delving deeper into history from a modern perspective.

I highly recommend reading "Letters to Theo", it's a beautiful collection of Vincent's letters to his brother Theo and a good way to know the man behind the artist.

Dude you nailed this! Amazing video!

This is wonderful! So inspiring! Thank you for channeling Van Gogh in your own unique way! That painting of the building over the water from your photograph is stunning!

I was waiting for this one! Just found and finished these series and I’m loving them so much ❤

I’ve always wondered if he had astigmatism because his paintings really look like how it does when I’m not wearing my glasses.

More of these please, your perspective on them is fascinating 😊

This is your best video, hands down. Congrats Nate!

This is another masterpiece!!! So beautifully done, so inspirational and insightful.

I was painting a portrait with watercolors, searching for something to listen to, when I came across your video and absolutely loved the perspective you gave on appreciating and learning from Van Gogh. Art comes in endless forms and is very therapeutic and healing , especialy when you can take time and enjoy the simplicity of silence or listen to the sounds of nature, or feel suddenly inspired like you did when you noticed the red door in the street. Beautiful video, can't wait to see what story you tell next :)

Ilove how much u love doing this and also, as an artist who follows van gogh's footsteps, it is pertinent that u paint plain aire and right there straight away and in one go. Ilove ur enthusiasm

Thank you, Nathaniel, for these remarkable series! You challenge yourself, and through that, the new pieces of a mindset are born... They are insight hugging an inspiration! Especially Van Gogh's beautiful struggle... And those morning swallows screaming in the warm light, when you standing on the balcony, just made my day.

Thank you, Nathaniel, for doing your videos that deep.

love this video nathaniel. been watching for years and you remain creative! thank you

There you go! I like it bro... wonderful ..

You have quite a natural talent for painting Nathaniel! Amazing you never tried before this! Bravo!!!😘

This is probably one of my favourite videos of yours. Just to thought provoking as I have loved Vincent's work for a long time. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

This is my favorite of the daily routine series so far! The videography, specifically of the café and absinth scenes, made me feel the chaotic delirium of your experience, and then even deeper to Van Gogh’s experience.

Absolutely love what you are doing with this series. We love to know more about artists and people who shaped art. We love artists and we love daily routines. Combining these two really takes us way too close to the artist and puts us in their POV. Please do invest time in making such videos. I would really appreciate it. 💙

Great episode! This is awesome

Great video Nathaniel!!! It’s great to learn more about Van Gogh trough your own experience living his routine.

I've been waiting for this video soo long, so excited to watch it!!

Appreciate you and this series... each new one inspires new thoughts and gives perspective

I love these videos. They are how I discovered your channel. Your respect and admiration is such a special place in youtube.

love what you're doing in this series!

Me: I missed Nathaniel's videos. Nathaniel: here i come🤸🏻‍♂️

Absolutely your best channel! Luv,luv,luv it!💯

This was extremely inspiring, I've been thinking about this video for days. I'm a creative coder & motion designer, so my work usually lands in the digital, but I've been studying art history this summer & have been extremely inspired by expressionism & impressionism. Your approach here has left me wanting to work on my physical art skills more -- I've been trying to spend more time listening to jazz & reading books on art & design instead of watching TV or spending time on my phone. There's such a meditation that comes with creating physical art. In general, the goal is to spend more time creating than consuming.

the cinematography on this one is art

I love this series! Thanks for doing it!!

Nathaniel, you made the exact video i was expecting from you. Awasome as always.

Wow. This video is ART. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Nathaniel.

I don’t know, this video is my best of the year. Thank you for that!

You are a really impressive painter. You should paint more!. So glad you're continuing this series, Nathaniel! It's so inspiring! .

The effort you put into this video shows. Incredible work.

This video was awesome, I love your plein air painting. Trying to paint outside more myself, it’s really difficult but also peaceful and rewarding

This was awesome! I really like and look forward to your videos within this series. The Versailles painting was my favorite, but I do understand your attraction towards the red door. Bravo.

This is one of my favorite videos you do.

this video means a lot to me and I will come back to it time and time again whenever I feel in doubt of myself. thank you for your dedication and excellent work

1st time I was ever teary from a youtube video. Your video is art and I can feel all the emotion and passion put into it. Beautiful work!

This one is very special. Thank you, Nathaniel. Hope you continue to paint.

So appreciate what you do - thank you 🙏

Oh finally!!!! this series is the best

You're always so inspiring Nate! Keep on going with this series :)

I've always been a big fan of Van Gogh, I remember recreating his bedroom in Arles in art class when I was 5 years old. I really enjoyed this video and it inspired me to carve out more time - amid the endless distractions of our world today - to paint. Also loved the light reflecting off the cobblestones on your 3rd painting, it looked so good!

I absolutely LOVED this video! I learned so much about Van Gogh and in a brilliantly unique style. I appreciate your approach to making and filming videos, Nathaniel. Thank you for YOUR art!

yayyy i love this series! feeling very inspired to paint again

Thanks, Nathaniel. What a great video. You are getting really good at painting; such inspiring!

Absolutely LOVED this! I subscribed to your channel after watching the video of your parents moving OUT of the USA and over to Portugal in their 50's! They are inspirational to me, as I am currently packing up MY house on the NSW (Australia).North Coast, and moving interstate to Victoria, where my only son lives. I will be 64 this November, so it's a huge undertaking by myself (my husband passed in 2018), but I'm SO excited that I will be able to see him more than once a year 🤣🤣🤣 This is only the second video of yours I have watched, and it's amazingly about art!! This is what I WANT to continue with after my move 'down South'... so I'm thinking I have come across your videos for a reason... so thank you so much! I was worried whether I was doing the right thing..... Now I'm SURE I am!!! Thank you SO, SO much! (and a BIG thank you, and hugs to your courageous parents also! 😘💋❤

wow this one made me emotional... Great work as always!!!

Good for you Nathaniel, you're living the life .that some of us don't have the courage to do. Arles looks beautiful, as your paintings, and your storytelling.

This video is a masterpiece!

Beautiful little glimpse into his life.
