Oil Painting Processes of the Masters (Part 3 of 3)

[@milootje007]

I don't think i've ever seen any documentary on painting that was of higher quality than this series and i've seen a lot. Simply incredible Jill, thank you for making these incredible (in all regards) video's.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Thank you so very much, Milo - truly appreciated.

@@JillPoyerdFineArt i agree so much´exactly my thought!

What you said honestly

[@nellou5527]

💯💯💯 Thank you Jill!

[@kenboydart]

These videos from Jill should be required viewing in EVERY public school . I am certain that a great number of students will have their lives changed in a wonderful way .

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

What a wonderful comment - thank you.

[@lucyhanks500]

Will public schools still have speakers with tonal voice inflections which don’t sound like Ai robots? It sounds like emotional intelligence, but isn’t, just like the difference between a human with a chain and one without.

[@kenboydart]

Watching this again a year later, I now understand one of the reasons why Jill‘s postings are so wonderful. It approaches ASMR in its character, and I also love the way she drops her T’s. It all comes together beautifully. I really enjoy listening to her postings. Oh yes, and also watching.

[@lucyhanks500]

@@kenboydart that’s the thing about groups of screaming children, the noise stays in your mind even when completely alone; there’s something about the strange ethereal cacophony which makes you look at breasts from an Oedipal point of maternal comfort…whilst supporting your own as though they were a nuisance weight, weighing down the shoulders, tearing & inflaming the rhomboids; there’s always a dichotomy between internal and external perceptions of image & the physical standards placed on other people.

[@lucyhanks500]

@@kenboydart watching and reading through again a year later, I read not all schooling systems have matrons or absent parents, let alone a trunchball type character to watch as an adult and find comical. Finding or creating peace of mind seems evasive amongst the populace, yet reclusively isolating oneself is deemed a personality disorder by those in control.

[@SunilKalmady]

Came for Whistler, but Bouguereau took my heart. Simplicity with deep devotion to his craft.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I totally get it. His work is stunning, isn't it?

[@louisalinton]

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.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

What a meaningful comment, Louisa. Thank you you so much.

[@velvetchiharu]

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.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

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.

[@fyrebird5898]

This 3 part series is what I wish my formal art education had included. Art history doesn't have to be boring. I learned more, understood more, and loved art more here than many years of academic schooling.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

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...

[@FRguillaume.L]

Finally a video on painters of someone who understand how painting works and do researches on the techniques, thank you so much for this, hope to see more !

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That means a lot - thank you

[@nmd1211]

All I can say is this is a wonderful, informative, beautiful and intelligent look at art, its methods, and the artists. Thanks!

[@doc032848]

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.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I love this comment...thank you.

[@MrZynmaster]

2 of these are my favorite painters. we have a sargent and bouguereau at my local museum and i stare at both for an hour every time i go. great documentary. love the part where you show how they built up their layers. it's very helpful aas a painter myself to see the process

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you! They’re two of my favorites as well…remarkable talent.

[@boredgrass]

What a pleasant discovery: Insightful, thought provoking, open minded. This is the first time I come upon a description of painters of the 19th/early 20th century academic tradition that explores them as individual artists with individual goals! Then there is the background music: It remains in the background it doesn't interfere with the audibility of the wonderful narration! A real gem!

[@melindawolfUS]

Bougerou is my absolute favorite. I love him for teaching women at his school at a time that was frowned upon ...on top of his transcendent painting skills and vision

[@chuckgurley4048]

Totally agree. He said impressionist paintings were unfinished paintings.

[@dagoelius]

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.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

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

[@fabian.bocanegrahirakata]

Wow, your videos are so very well done... everything from the background music to the voiceover and the little animations for explaining the layers... even the design of the credits section!

[@timdanyo898]

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to produce this series. In this post modern world of art it's so easy to look past the masters of old because they "say nothing" to this current generation. That's obviously rubbish. While watching this series I frequently found my jaw dropping at the exquisite beauty and open tenderness and clairvoyant attentionality of these master artists. There is so much wonder and encouragement to be gleaned from these painter's work! Thanks again!

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Well put, Tim. It's so fascinating to see some of their works up close. I love that part of the project.

[@LockportDan]

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.

[@jonlava173]

Your tag of John Singer Sargent’s “Fumee D’Ambre Gris” caught my eye- it’s always been one of my favorites. I’m happy you featured his methods and techniques; I researched him for an art class, but never discovered much before. I’m rewatching this. Thank you for your research!

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jon. Yes, I absolutely love that painting. What a fascinating and delicate composition.

[@nwiegman]

I have much to say, all good but I see others have already done so. I must be an artist because all three- hands, head and heart are awakened and challenged by what you have so eloquently put forward. I need to watch all three episodes again and again.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Thank you so much - I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@marnitzvermeulenart]

Thank you so much for your triptique of insights into how the 'Queen of colour' - Oil painting came to be. It's inspirational, as I have recently done a course in Oil painting, but having the background of how the Masters did it, makes me even more determined to explore more.

[@kenboydart]

[@huyked]

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.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

He's one of my favorites, too...

[@wolf7379]

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.

[@huyked]

@@wolf7379 I absolutely agree. It's crazy! All the "mumble jumble" wordplay in the artist's mood and inspiration may be true to them, but the results are lackluster in my eyes. Haha

[@atlantic_love]

@@huyked This is a big part of why I stepped away from creating paintings. I did not want to be affiliated with these "mumble jumble artsy fartsy mission statement" type artists who get where they are with their looks and inherited money, and not with their talent. In fact, most of them if they couldn't afford the workshops they go to, and the private teaching, would be working in factories or waiting tables.

Wonderful presentation! I am besotted by Sargent and love Whistler. Whistler seems very attuned/inspired/aligned with music. HIs Nocturnes bring to mind the magic of Debussy's works for the piano. Whistler's etchings of Venice are quite astonishing. I am not very aware of his pastels. Can't wait to explore those. Thank you for your time, effort, knowledge and sensitivity.

[@vincentgoupil180]

*Thanks* for the fine three part series on the oil painters presented and their techniques. The loose brush strokes of William Bouguereau opened the door for me to his work. J.S. Sargent also set up his canvas parallel to the sitter then stepped back comparing the equal value and size of both the subject and painting. Assume paintings have a focal point or distance for optimal veiwing. The excellent and extensive watercolor web blog *Handprint* has a good article on Sargent.
