Do you want to improve your painting skills? Great Artists Steal is series of videos that will help you do just that. My name is Ian Ellis and I have been a painter for nearly 40 years and art teacher for 30 years and I will share with you all the experience I have gained teaching students here in London.

PARABÉNS PROF. GOSTEI MUITO DE SUA EXPLANAÇÃO.
It's a pleasure
Thank you so much. Im from Brazil and impossible to find such a good content here, greetings.
Thanks Andre
Cezanne drained some of the oil out of the tube paint by putting the paint on paper . The paper absorbed the oil . Monet did this too, and so did I . The paint becomes quite stiff after this , so he used turps to thin it down . He did not blend . Strokes side by side . It took him over 170 ( ? ) sittings for a particular portrait. His earlier work was not done in this fashion. Because his paint did not contain much oil , it did not crack , or not as much. Oil in paint yellows the pictures, less oil , less yellowing. I don’t think he painted like you at all. No he did not .
Thank you Dietman for your comments which are very helpful I do the same too if I want dry paint. But this depends on the colour I am using as some colours are opaque and others are transparent. . Orange for instance is opaque and loses it's quality quickly when white is added. So it needs to be glazed and oil is better for doing this as the quality of the colour does not fade when it dries. If you look at Cezanne's works he appears to be doing the same. Cracking is nothing to do with medium used but tends to happen more when the turps or oil is not consistent throughout the painting as some areas will dry before others.
Many thanks. Very efficient. I love your sense of color. Do you produce any video today? I hope so.
Loved that😊
beautiful work
Have you switched to another platform or just stopped making videos? I was looking forward to your Zorn palette video.
Sorry to disappoint but stopped because my film maker is too busy. Zorn's mixing is like Freud's. The video on colour perception explains why certain colours appear to change hue when the neutral colours black, white and grey are added
Sam you are a genius. Pay no attention to the professor do nothings in the comments. You sir have inspired me beyond the precipice of getting stuck in. Thank you so much for your time.
❤
Thank you!
Love your content Your videos are so inspiring and helpful❤Thank you
So happy to have found you!!!!
Excelente!!
I have just come across your videos Ian. Thankyou so much for posting this, it explains everything so clearly to me. I have been painting on and off for many years and no one has ever explained these concepts as logically as you have. I can’t wait to get home and practice! Thankyou
not even close
Very underrated channel, this is closer to the James Gurney video quality teaching than most other i've seen on youtube
Can you write the names of the colors more clearly please? Hard to hear the names of the colors with your wonderful Accent.
I think he uses a more runny paint. He does watercolor studies before his paintings if I understood correctly.
Yes I agree. If I did it again I would use a bit more linseed oil mixed with the paint Thanks
VACINA!!!
Thanks so much for the insights Ian, I am loving your series, just wondering which brand/s of oils you work with. Cheers, Anthony.
I like the vids. Even if they’re old
You should do a vid on ground
I thought to myself there will be no videos on Hopper’s color technique and low and behold some dude appears. Thank you
I return to this video again and again, so educational. Love how you mix the tech topic with interesting remarks regarding different painters and art in general. Thank you!
Thanks. It was interesting to think about the values in the eye area!
Thanks for your positive feedback
I should trust myself more. When I was analysing Cezanne I've seen those black paints in hi work that looked really dark. But I've been thinking, can't be black, he was mixing it to get it. It's what we've been told it's no, no. I've also noticed lots of hard thin black lines in some of his work, like he was using black or dark blue ink for underdrawing. Does anyone knows anything about that? Thanks for the video, by the way.
Thanks for your interesting observations. I was shocked too as Cezanne is known as the father of modern art.
Absolutely, never understood why people waste their time with a profuse pallete. Best research you can do is to understand that all full color printed materials are made from 4 inks: yellow, cyan,magenta and black.
I guess because many people waste time and paint trying to mix the colours they want with the palette you suggest.
This whole "no-black is better" myth is disarming a lot of people of ton of possibilities, as well the black is so expressive. Of course some people treat shadow=black and if badly executed the effect is off putting, hence it's helpful to take this pigment off the palette.
It depends, I think on the type of painting you want to. Half mixes, for example, can not be done if you use black to darken a colour. Unless you want black to show.
Want to do (correction)
@@GreatArtistsSteal Black is hardly black in mixes, mixed with yellow/ish colors it will turn subtle green, with white - it have cold hue and in context will look like blue, not grey. In glazes thin layers of black actually will warm the colors (while white glaze will make them look cold) Overall, Apelles (Zorn) palette can be all you need, and can easily be modified with additional color or two.
Could you please share What you use to mix emerald green? Or do you talk about it in earlier video?
Viridian green+lemon yellow
Tissot and Manet used black...
Yes they did
So good. Great Vídeo. Thank you so much
Hi Ian, how do you reduce (or increase) the value of a colour without losing colour intensity/chroma? Very confused about how to adjust value but maintain the same colour intensity. Are these two different techniques?
When you darken the intensity is always less. However when you lighten some of the dark cool hues with a small amount of white the intensity increases. Eg viridian, French ultramarine blue. Prussian blue, Phthalo blue.
Respect bro.
This is excellent - learned so much from this - thank you!
Thanks
hi, what is the brush used to create those brush marks?
I was using a cheap acrylic round brush size 6.
as far as I know from the diary of his wife Jo Hopper he finished "Nighthawks" much faster
thank you for being one of the few people who actually discuss how hopper painted
Thank you, have never used oil before, so I am chasing around after it, please can you tell me what brush you used for this, maybe I have to get the mix right with linseed oil, it all seems a bit flat, scratchy and dry, not really what I want, really enjoyed your tutorial....
Hi Sally I used a cheap size 6 round acrylic brush which has finer hairs which helps to avoid the scratchy look. Make sure you clean it well and it should last. Good luck
Also used 5 parts linseed oil mixed with one part Zest-it If I had used turpentine it would be 3 to 1 in favour of the oil. Just wet the brush slightly. The paint has to be semi- transparent when applied so the ground colour is just seen coming through the paint. This helps to create the glow of a Cezanne
Great stuff! I enjoyed that thank you
It's a light bottle green
Can U do same with His Sunflowers they vibrate glow
I was hoping my video would encourage you to try
I luv the postman
Yes so do I
It's what Australian Aboriginals do in their paintings
What do they do?
Am I missing something here?
What do you mean?
Something to do with your name?
Awesome video!!
I'm very grateful for the videos! thank you for sharing your time and knowledge, 30 years of painting and I can't understate the appreciation, I can only ask that you do more at your convivence.
Thanks for your comments. I have stopped making the films at the moment as my film maker son has a full time job. 34 is not a bad number though for moment.
Mmmmm well…… no
When he talks, he sounds like a PC microphone that has lag.
you sound very sad
@@GreatArtistsSteal Not at all. It's just an observation. Slow down when you're speaking.
OK I agree I am talking too quickly. Subtitles are available if you can't make sense. Sorry and I will try to slow down abit. I think I am too conscious of time. Thanks Ian
Serait il possible d'avoir la traduction en français. Merci.
I am sorry as I just do not have the time to do this.
Luv ur videos, mate.
Thanks
