The older lady who painted in orange...absolutely great!!!

The thing is, Van Gogh put his entire being into that painting. The passion, the pressure, the frustration he felt, his entire life was in every stroke. I adore him. It’s no surprise the lady painting with orange has the most successful attempt - she had the most vibrant personality.

His prison time while life changing is now a flex of sorts. He was good at what he did and is amending his wrongs by teaching others

This is a very challenging exercise ... even if done in the privacy of one's own home or studio.. having cameras on you and the critical eye of a master must add to the difficulty. I am really enjoying this series !!

I wish Myatt would do his version too. I think it would show the students truely what they are missing.

Irene was my favorite, she really had fun and put that on the canvas! I remember seen this show on the cultural channel of my country when i was a kid and I love it bc was really educative and the fact that he was a forger, were in prison even and then a tv show. Back then I didin't have the words, but now seeing it again after 13 years, maybe even more, I can understand deeply why I like it, it was pedagogical in the broadest sense. Having now an education in art, pedagogy, and being anti-prison and anti-capitalist makes me appreciate this show even more

There is something buoyant about John, certainly a master painter, I wish him all the best.

I do wish there are many more episodes. This series is one of the best I've seen online. The solid stretch your of creativity stands out. And he does it in a way that infuses energy as opposed to being merely challenged. He has, I feel, an approach of, I can do this! versus Can I do this? There's a huge difference.

Irene has a wonderful spirit. I enjoy that she enjoyed it.

Im so happy I stumbled across these, I'm going to watch them all. Very inspiring for a new portrait painter.

What a GREAT show. This has it all... I cant wait to watch them ALL. Thank You for enriching the internet; and inspiring a painter in block.

I would much rather watch John paint and show us the techniques used by the masters.

Fascinating! I love this experience! Very well done!

Love your way of teaching Art. And yes Artist can learn so much about painting other Artists great masterpieces! Love your style!

Vincent Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists of all time, I especially admire his series of Sunflowers, to whish he paint most of them in Arles, i also loved Starry Night.

Glad I stumbled on this , really enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for this! I just painted my first Van Gogh at 62 I'm hooked! LOL Thanks again

I'm binge watching these. So fun!!!!!

Great stuff. Thank you guys for creating this film

Just stumbled on this series, how wonderful! Very interesting. It would have been much easier to do the heavy impasto with oils rather than acrylics. He also should have told them that in this particular exercise the likeness was secondary to the expressive brush strokes. But good effort on all parts!

This was fantastic... I painted along with the class too.. Thank you

Thanks for posting. Very interesting. One thing I don't remember you mentioning or not was Vincent often painted on straight burlap which has a muted tan appearance. Later, he would prime each canvas first with a thin coat of yellow ocher to get a more even and balanced surface of color. Yellow Ocher is an interesting color because it tends to blend in with all the colors around it when it's not covered with one itself. Even later in his career, he would prime the canvas with the complementary of the pure color he planned to use in the painting. This provided even more "invisibility" when areas were not covered completely by each simple and precise stroke of his brush. A great technique I use myself today in my own work. Anyway, that was a fascinating study of three different artists. Next time use me if you do another Van Gogh experiment. I'm on google plus for contact. Thanks again.

I watched a documentary on you many years ago. As Elmyr said art experts know more about fine words than fine art! You are amazing.

Just found this on lockdown June 2020. What a wonderful video to watch. I wished the master himself would show us how he wok to see his technique

"Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well." - Vincent Van Gogh. Then came you.... then came you, Vincent. They did not listen, they're not listening still.... perhaps they never will. Love you Master V

Great series.... this needs to be on netflix!

i love the old masters and have been researching and practicing their techniques. However, i found the time it takes to complete a painting for me, takes too much time. Van Gogh, i thought, was an answer to my dilemma. But I was wrong. I find this artist had a deep understanding of color theory, composition, relation of space, etc. I have a brand new respect for Van Gogh.

Brilliant program!

I wonder how these students would do if given a second try at it. Great show!

lots to learn......amazing video........Forger's Masterclass - Ep. 03 - Vincent Van Gogh

I thank you for this so much,as my fav. artist you have enlighted me very much, more so his landscapes influence me,and I believe you have helped me a lot the control and passion I have and it is a unigue balance may I put the energy into my work now ,not a duplicate do I wish to paint but the style I feel better about achieving,do believe I use a more impasto style than your students but they to have learned as I do see his work in Irenes piece most of all again leveing you with much thanks for this video

Sex sells

I first saw a Van Gogh self portrait at the Rijks museum. I welled up. Such pain in those eyes. Carl’s airbrush work looks great. I’m only 2 minutes in at this stage. Van Gogh is my favourite artist

Cheers for uploading this!

A huge mistake people make is not practicing lively/loose drawing from day one. It's good to be precise when studying proportions or perspective but when it comes to actually drawing and painting you need to be loose. This is why people practice figure drawing so much from day one. A lot of self taught artists focus so much on details before they even develop basic structure and flow. Replication is boring there has to be flow and life to art.

I find painting Vincent’s paintings great fun ,to much fussy is not how he painted ,movement and facial structures were more important ! Vincent painted with. Passion and perhaps mania ? I have recovered from horrible depression ,and painting is great fun as I attempt to “ learn how the masters painted ! Vincent ,if you have basic understanding of techniques and a passion for original interpretation and a bit of let loose manic passion ,it speaks in your art ! Great videos ,I look forward to seeing all !

marie has the ful mark she really expressed her passion more than others and she also controled her way in drawing . I like d her approshe to this Vincint's area of fine Art 👍💕

He doesn't seem too critical, but he doesn't know how to bring his students with him, to inspire them rather than intimidating them. It's a difficult thing to do. The students were quite timid themselves and not very confident - but a great teacher might assuage their fears and help them find the way forward.

I do have a sense that they are thinking about their choices , not just feeling their choices.

That's just how I feel after watching them

The engineer in this gentleman kept him in control.

I totally agree would be wonderful if he would hold a class every week actually teaching a complete landscape painting. Think how much we would learn I am just a beginner but I have learned a lot just watching other artists with their demonstrations. Example J.S Lisondra, Bob Ross, Wow Art and others

i like the first painting and the second

I like it. I think the last one is my favorite. It has a little touch of Edvard Munch instead of Van Gogh. Great job...

Student "Carl" totally missed the mark, not realizing that it's the technique that was hard; and not the teacher! This guy has all the hallmarks of a brilliant teacher: he's a gifted painter; a somewhat shady personality; and totally has a temper.

If expression and intensity with control is the goal, than why not go more the way of Sargent ? Van Gogh is more impression and sculpture with textured lines and brilliant color scheme. I like the Evelyn orange . She really captured the essentials of Van Gogh with his brilliance and madness all rolled into one

I notice they don't use straight lines when painting sketching rounding with brush to paint eyes and shape instead of intersecting straight strokes I find I have more control with strokes and makes the illusion of depth

Yeah I noticed it too, Id say as a painter hes prbly more interested in andy warhols work.

It's like taking 3 colors that don't match, and creating a Materpiece. 3 artists of talent, thrown into a Huge Unknown and expecting Brilliance. Each one had a Unique Vision, limited by human condition. If there was a round "2", what would they ACCOMPLISH!!

Sorry, are you saying Van Gogh is crap? He is my all time favurite, and a major inspiration! Surely, even if you do not like his style, you can appreciate what he achieved? With little to no tutilage he almost invented his own style of painting, and allowed Expressionism and post-Impressionism, and so later Cubism and other abstract forms to be born! Beautiful, and actually really hard to replicate, for me, at least.

what type of paint are they using? Is it just poster board paint or art acrylic? Obviously it's not oil

imo, they all did brilliantly painting in a style completely foreign to them and with time constraints and someone telling them often "you're missing the mark, show passion!"
