This is SUCH a meaningful comment to me. It's part of why I created this Channel to begin with many years ago. Thank you for letting me know...

Bouguereau- The absolute master of skin tone, the eyes and human form. Seeing his works in person, {for me} no other painter has been able to paint such 'life' into the subjects eyes like he did.

Here, here....overall he was simply unbelievable.

In a time when many artists edit their process down to satisfying 10 second videos it’s very powerful, as an artist, to know that even masters who painted since childhood like Sargeant had a stumbling sort of approach to painting involving mistakes, adjustments, and long pauses of analyzation. Unlike how social media presents, they didn’t always go into their paintings knowing 100% how they were getting to the end. Thank you so much for doing the research and sharing! This is so much more than just educational.

That is a great point, arjvoet. I agree - social media makes it look much too easy. I think that can be unintentionally de-motivating for creatives.

I agree with Milo, this is the most complete overview of the history of oil painting EVER. I'm a painter (was an art teacher till I retired) and it took me years of studying (and a lot of reading) to learn the "tricks" that the old masters used. Jill, you managed to cover it all in just In 3 short parts, with excellent visuals to boot :) Thank you for sharing.

One additional comment: I think Whistler's watercolors are astonishing. I can almost hear the music of the water of a mountain stream tumbling over rocks.

I will take nothing away from the excellence of this series but I must add that the vocalization quality is light and seamless. It created a delicate, audio texture that added to the video of each piece and its technique(s), giving birth to the captivating audio-visual blend. This is the way to educate the novice seeking to experience the joys of art appreciation.

I, too, am so taken with his work. His talent stuns me at times.

William Bouguereau is one of my favorite painters, if not the favorite. Now that I've learned more about him, I like him even more: from teaching women artists, to not caring about avant garde and not letting that get to him. I think, if "modern art"/paint splotches/huge shapes on canvas were found in the dump, I'd leave it there. No one in their right mind would leave a masterpiece like Bouguereau's at the dump.

I totally agree! I have zero tolerance for many modern so-called art. Painting squares and geometric shapes with neon/toy pink and many loud colours that clash with everything else is not art. Anyone can paint a perfect square using a ruler. I saw a painting where a single pole shaped like a cactus was in the centre of a bleak, blank and ugly background painted in lazy brush strokes that any child could do - and it won first prize in a competition. I was completely dumbfounded. The poetic description of the painting was better than the art itself! Has the world gone mad? A true artist has developed skills in the use of drawing, value, colour and edge and how to choose colours esthetically. It takes a lot of skill to do a good portrait or figure painting. The drawing has to be accurate and then getting the right values and hue correct is challenging. Paintings where the so-called artist just throws in splashes of paint in wild colours all over the place where 'anything goes' does not have to worry about the delicacy in getting drawing, values and hues just right.

I'm really surprised about the great quality of this three part video! My favorite painter is definitely Bouguereau, his technique and mastery of light is astounding! I had the great opportunity of see many paintings of this French genius, here in Mexico City at the San Carlos Museum, that I've visited since I was a little kid. That was about twenty years ago during a great exposition of Orientalism in European Painting in the XIX Century. I was delighted with his masterpieces, and I spent a good time analyzing in depth, or trying to figure from an amateur point of view, how he made his wonderful compositions and how he mastered the lighting. But with this great videos now I understand much more how he did it! Thanks a lot! Greetings from Mexico City.
