I have an alternative theory that is not explored here or suggested in the comments. I think it had more to do with dentistry than anything else. I find there's a lot of "modesty" customs through history that I suspect are placed in order to protect the pride of people in places of power that would otherwise be out-looked by common folk with a little bit of genetic luck. Like how monasteries and samurai both shaved their heads to look like balding men even if they weren't. Probably because some high-ranking dude WAS balding and everyone had to look just as bad. Similarly I find it probable that many nobles and respectable people back then had terrible teeth. It would have been shameful to show a bad set of teeth, and it would be disrespectful to show off a GOOD set of teeth too. So nobody polite would show their teeth; good or bad.
@jochentram93013 ай бұрын
Tooth decay isn't a very major problem prior to cheap(ish) cane sugar, and as late as the mid-17th century, Cromwell's demand that his official picture as Lord Protector show him "warts and all" was considered *very* unusual. It would have been trivial for a painter to show King Such-and-So with pearly whites, even if he had only blackened stumps in reality, is the point. Plenty such pictures didn't show, e. g., smallpox scarring, even if we know from textual descriptions that the person in question had them. Republican Rome is very into true-to-life statuary, but starting with Augustus, the depictions of rulers become idealised, and stay that way until ~1900 CE. Even photos of Wilhelm II of Germany are always pretty carefully staged not to show the man's crippled arm. Plus, I must point out that plenty of art shows full nudity, male and/or female, including frontal view, *but no smiles*. So, these times considered the depiction of *naked genitals* more socially acceptable than the depiction of a smile. (Though the casual acceptance of nudity doesn't surprise me much; the people depicted in those artworks were likely quite used to being naked around people. Their own bodyservants, for a certainty)

I'm wondering if the change happened because of the development of photography -- the sudden appearance of smiles in art seems to correlate pretty closely with the development of snapshots (that is, photography that doesn't take several seconds to expose), which allows for capturing a moment rather than only a posed setting. Like, as soon as it's possible to capture people's expressions as they occur rather than a carefully selected expression, smiles suddenly become fine and have no moral implications. Or to put that another way, when it suddenly becomes possible to get pictures of aristocrats smiling whether they meant to or not, almost overnight, smiles suddenly aren't a sign of low morals and poor breeding.

Photgraphy predates this phenomenon by about 40 years. There are photographs of Mr. Lincoln's inauguration, and an official photo of President Lincoln (several, in fact). And frankly, judging by how long actresses and actors and some sports performers keep smiles plastered on their faces today, doing it for long enough that a painter can at least do a sketch of the smiling person ought to be trivial. Also, as the video notes, pre-1900 art *does* have smiling people. The smiles just aren't coded as something positive.

I think one huge factor in this shift is the introduction of the Kodak Brownie Camera to consumers in 1900. Sure, photography existed for decades before this, and saw some huge changes with the development of dry collodion processes (among other things), which made photography portable, making it popular as an attraction at resorts and carnivals (which were themselves exploding in popularity in the late 19th century). But the Kodak was the first really accessible user-friendly camera- you buy the plates and send them to the company to develop. Suddenly there's a ton more people dabbling in photography outside of a formal portrait setting, and experimenting with silly poses (think college kids posing in a pile, or dressing up the family pets). This is also the first time you can really have candids and other spur-of-the-moment pictures. Photo portraiture was fairly common before this point, but it'd be a special occasion thing, to mark a new birth or a graduation or an engagement. In fact, an engagement photo might do in place of a ring for poorer couples. This all has inspired me to go through very early films to see who's smiling and when-- I'll bet actualities (proto-documentaries) will have at least a few people mugging at the camera. I wonder too if some of the art shift might be from early expression work in silent films. In a pre-trailer era, early stars would be marketed by a collection of still photos of their dramatic expressions, including joy and humor-- Florence Lawrence and Ruth Roland, some of the first movie stars, were putting these out in the early 1910s. Lawrence, Roland and Max Linder were all shown smiling in their marketing. Speaking of which, Laura Bayley, who may have the very earliest claim to stardom depending on how we define a star, starred in and may have directed "facials", which were comic short films emphasizing goofy expressions. Her 1903 film "Mary Jane's Mishap" is a key example of "grinning= working class idiot" at work.

I’m afraid you’re confusing subtractive paint mixing with additive light mixing. What works for one doesn’t work for the other, and you can’t combine these techniques. You can’t unmix paint, at any rate not easily. Physical pigments in paint and wavelength colors in light (most often seen on computer screens these days) mix in opposite ways. The primary colors of paint are not as we are generally taught, red, yellow, and blue, but rather magenta, yellow, and cyan, which can be mixed to make red, green, blue and black and many other colors. Contrariwise, in light-mixing the primaries are red, green, and blue, which can in turn be mixed to make magenta, yellow, cyan and white and many other colors. You may notice the primary colors and the mixed colors in paint mixing and light mixing are *opposites* to each other. And finally, the green in this video is made by mixing physical pigments, one a black and one a yellow. Their color is part of their physical properties and can’t be separated from them, so that even if you managed to separate out the pigments (which would be a fairly involved process), you would just have the same yellow and black you started with.

@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena I’m sorry, color mixing is very complicated and subtle, and not easy to explain in short notes like this. If you haven’t got a blue there are ways to fake it. Like painting with a pure grey among otherwise brown-and-gold colors will *look* bluish by contrast. If you haven’t got something close to magenta and something close to cyan you won’t be able to mix a blue with paints, I’m sorry. Certainly not if you start with a strong yellow like cadmium in your mix. It will just go muddy. FWIW, phthalo green, I have found *is* close enough to cyan that if you mix a little of it (because it is a *very strong* tinter) with some good clear magenta, you will get a kind of blue. That’s as close as I can get. Good luck!

@@achronalart You can mix Silver with a shade of red to get Fuchsia and add a yellow grey mix of green and you can get closer to magenta color and add a bit of white and you might actually get magenta The colors i used for that Magentaish shade was Naptholene Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, Silver and Neutral Grey. Yellow Orcher mixed with Viridian and small amount of White gives close enough to Cyan or Phthalo green. If i am unlucky adding all this together might get me a dark or light shade of magenta. But no you honestly were a really big help Though one thing i don't understand is why mixing grey and yellow makes green or even silver and yellow makes green, like is it a property of yellow itself? as Blue, Cyan, Black, Grey, and Silver mixed with Yellow makes different shades of green. Yes complicated indeed but more fascinating the more one thinks about it

@@achronalart I like to apologize for a mistake i made it is Viridian Green mixed with some White that makes Cyan DON'T put in Ochre Yellow and if you do and put some Magenta on top of that you are going to get the color Livid which is a grey blue or blue grey. Drastically not what we want lol. Now i did get a lavender or plum like Magenta by repeatedly mixing Naptholene Carmine, Titanuim white and Ivory black ontop of the Naptholene Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, Silver and Neutral Grey mixture. Which does make me think that you can steal pigments from black by repeated saturation from White and in this case adding red after black, so i could probably turn the black and yellow mixed green into Cyan with enough saturation from white and adding in black and yellow. The problem is if it takes a lot as then i need a big container, although another problem is if it turns Livid from too much saturation as while that is technically blue it is not the one i want

Commenting the feed the algorithm and share a tiny useless fact: Time Immemorial, for the purposes of British law and basically nothing else, means "before 1187", the time a of a big reformation of the legal system under Henry II. Basically "anything that was true before we started writing it all down".
that is really interesting, some citations would be nice to feel like it may be true, but even if it's not true i love the concept
@@bruce-le-smith Wikipedia cites Black's Law Dictionary, which I think is not available online. With reading the article mind, it also talks about how the phrase is used in other contexts. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_immemorial
This is incredible helpful, thank you!!
Very cool, thank you. I'm gonna adapt this for 30k Alpha Legion Venom Sphere grenades. Basically transparent spheres full of green energy or liquid.
Honestly a perfect video. Prehistoric human stuff always makes me emotional :'), and coming into this video I expected to know most of the content from my own research, but I learned a lot! Great sources, well articulated thoughts, great illustrations, and the perfect amount of humor! I especially appreciate your exasperation with the whole "adolescent boy" thing, and against the Victorians in general. In the morning I'll probably share this video with some of my history friends if they're interested.
This video is fantastic, thanks so much. I can't wait to try this when I get home tonight! 😊
What i wanna know is how to take a green and get the yellow out to get blue paint. This is assuming the green i have was made with yellow and blue for sure. Or if it is green made by yellow and black how to turn it blue without using blue paint as my end result is i want azure which you get by blue and green to make cyan then mix blue and red to get purple/violet then mix the cyan with a small amount of violet and you get Azure
I’m afraid you’re confusing subtractive paint mixing with additive light mixing. What works for one doesn’t work for the other, and you can’t combine these techniques. You can’t unmix paint, at any rate not easily. Physical pigments in paint and wavelength colors in light (most often seen on computer screens these days) mix in opposite ways. The primary colors of paint are not as we are generally taught, red, yellow, and blue, but rather magenta, yellow, and cyan, which can be mixed to make red, green, blue and black and many other colors. Contrariwise, in light-mixing the primaries are red, green, and blue, which can in turn be mixed to make magenta, yellow, cyan and white and many other colors. You may notice the primary colors and the mixed colors in paint mixing and light mixing are *opposites* to each other. And finally, the green in this video is made by mixing physical pigments, one a black and one a yellow. Their color is part of their physical properties and can’t be separated from them, so that even if you managed to separate out the pigments (which would be a fairly involved process), you would just have the same yellow and black you started with.
@@achronalart So there is no way to turn a green paint back into blue paint without using blue to override the yellow? Like say i mixed Acrylic Cadmium Yellow Light with a Acrylic Cobalt Blue to get a green color, other than using a mixture of blue paint would there be a way to turn it back to blue? Like i am talking about mixing paints if you don't have blue paint and wanted a blue color without going to the store and buying a tube of blue paint
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena I’m sorry, color mixing is very complicated and subtle, and not easy to explain in short notes like this. If you haven’t got a blue there are ways to fake it. Like painting with a pure grey among otherwise brown-and-gold colors will *look* bluish by contrast. If you haven’t got something close to magenta and something close to cyan you won’t be able to mix a blue with paints, I’m sorry. Certainly not if you start with a strong yellow like cadmium in your mix. It will just go muddy. FWIW, phthalo green, I have found *is* close enough to cyan that if you mix a little of it (because it is a *very strong* tinter) with some good clear magenta, you will get a kind of blue. That’s as close as I can get. Good luck!
@@achronalart You can mix Silver with a shade of red to get Fuchsia and add a yellow grey mix of green and you can get closer to magenta color and add a bit of white and you might actually get magenta The colors i used for that Magentaish shade was Naptholene Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, Silver and Neutral Grey. Yellow Orcher mixed with Viridian and small amount of White gives close enough to Cyan or Phthalo green. If i am unlucky adding all this together might get me a dark or light shade of magenta. But no you honestly were a really big help Though one thing i don't understand is why mixing grey and yellow makes green or even silver and yellow makes green, like is it a property of yellow itself? as Blue, Cyan, Black, Grey, and Silver mixed with Yellow makes different shades of green. Yes complicated indeed but more fascinating the more one thinks about it
@@achronalart I like to apologize for a mistake i made it is Viridian Green mixed with some White that makes Cyan DON'T put in Ochre Yellow and if you do and put some Magenta on top of that you are going to get the color Livid which is a grey blue or blue grey. Drastically not what we want lol. Now i did get a lavender or plum like Magenta by repeatedly mixing Naptholene Carmine, Titanuim white and Ivory black ontop of the Naptholene Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, Silver and Neutral Grey mixture. Which does make me think that you can steal pigments from black by repeated saturation from White and in this case adding red after black, so i could probably turn the black and yellow mixed green into Cyan with enough saturation from white and adding in black and yellow. The problem is if it takes a lot as then i need a big container, although another problem is if it turns Livid from too much saturation as while that is technically blue it is not the one i want
i can hear the similarity to red's voice.....
Gaaah the neolithic era is so cool!!! Thank you for putting this together
Hiya!!! you know how when ur painting but you re too close to the canvas and then you step away and really see whats happening? this did exactly that for me, ive been reading academic papers and researching and researching for my own litle project and was soooo sure of everything but this video was so well articulated and talked about stuff that was obvious but not written down you know? if that makes sense, anyways it made me see the whole thing from afar which is an insane contribution, i can not thank you enough for this, i hope everything is magnificent have a great one!!!
Consider investing in a pop filter for your microphone. There's a distinct popping noise each time you pronounce a strong plosive. For example, the words "Pale", "Transparent" and "Opaque" in the summary all come with a noticeable pop sound. It's a fairly small issue as these things go, but once you've heard it once it's hard not to hear it a bunch more.
It's really nice to see a mini painting tutorial from someone outside of the current wargaming zeitgeist, especially bringing in all these lessons from classical art. Thanks for posting this, I'll be adapting it for screens and gems for sure!
It's lovely seeing another video from you again. this is something that I may have to try with contrast paints to see what effect it may have. As for erasing paint, you may find that a bit of airbrush cleaner applied lightly with a Q-tip might be able to remove the top layer of paint without touching the rest. Oh, and........Pezler sends his regards, my friend.
I have been thinking about taking up painting and this is a really good tutorial, probs wont get it right but that's art I suppose
Woah
This makes me feel so confident, I want to try it right now! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
Fun guide for the orbs! :)
Just found your videos and they're really entertaining and informative to watch, can't wait to see more!
This has helped me with some shading issues I've been having. Thanks ^>^
