Ian! Your namesake hurricane took my car, my house and my studio when the eye of the storm passed over Matlacha, Florida. I’m 70. My wife 64. My driveway went from wet to chest high water in 10 minutes. We survived thanks to our neighbor and his 23 foot open boat. We were swept 15 miles north and finally made landfall in a mangrove. Sheltered under the root ball of an upturned tree for the night. Your video this morning lit up my eyes and mind with the pleasure I get from painting and… I’m starting to cry again.

it is sad to hear your story and I pray for you and your wife and everyone who it affected by this terrible Hurricane. My dear old Mum at 80 went through a very bad storm and her house was completely flooded out…I know what you are going through and it is and will be hard for a while. 8 years on Mum was still enjoying her love of life. Don’t look back, only look forward and I hope you will see there is light ahead. ❤

It’s very helpful to see your palette and the way you mix, the specific colours you select, the way you don’t clean your brush in between etc. Appreciate it.
@IanRobertsMasteringComposition
@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 жыл бұрын
Glad you found that helpful Tom. The only thing I'd say is I clean the brush enough so that the new color I'm mixing is the color I want. Sometimes that means cleaning the brush really well (say shifting from warm to cool for example or needing a really clean hit of color) and sometimes just continuing with what you have on the brush because the new color is low intensity. Best wishes

I can’t tell you how many times I tell people about you and your Mastering Composition book and videos. Your method of teaching has turned on so many light bulbs for me. In fact a painting that won a wonderful second place last weekend was improved when I went for a meditative swim and asked myself some Ian Roberts questions.. the questions made me answer WHY after many hours did I STILL think the painting stank…composition, composition, composition. It lacked completion. Thankfully I figured it out with many of your lessons in my head… movement, directions, lines, light, shape etc… the judge said the composition is what drew him to the painting. Inside I was jumping up and down with glee. Finally GETTING it… not just instinctive and lucky guess. THIS time I made it work. Thank you many times ten!

The best piece of advice that you gave in this video was the phrase "I can live with that." That has always been one of the hardest parts of painting for various reasons, whether it's a bias towards realism, the photographic world we live in, the lack of understanding of the materials or method, or a penchant for perfectionism. The ability to be satisfied - or to see the world in a painterly way - is paramount. I've enjoyed your videos very much.
@IanRobertsMasteringComposition
@IanRobertsMasteringComposition 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks James. I guess part of it is realizing if you want a painterly painting, as in not hiding the brushwork, you play a game between the paint and the illusion. Get too hung up on the illusion and the whole thing gets tight. So you have to be willing to let some things go in the interests of the whole. Glad you enjoyed it.

I’ve started to do these tonal pencil sketches before painting now you’ve pointed out how important it is to work out the position of value masses. I almost like the pencil sketches better than the colour version! Just proves how important the relationship between masses of tone are to how we enjoy the image. You’ve made a huge improvement to the results I’m getting! I wonder why I’m not so impressed with my colour versions though? I use watercolour so can’t work exactly like you do.

Hi Alison, first I'm really happy you see the value of doing the drawings. The one thing I would say about going from the drawings which you say you like to the paintings which you say you don't, I would say maybe your color is too intense so it is breaking apart the simplicity of your design. Try just using less intense color. Like a tonalist. Get that working for a while. Hope that helps. All the best.

I think it's so amazing how all creative arts have the same process. In sculpture, you start with the big marble mass, then carve out the big shapes and then you do details. When writing a script, you have a story outline, then the three act structure, then you do individual scenes. painting, its value masses sketch, then blocking it in on the canvas, and then you do finishing touches. Yet you still have people who want to do details first, and then fill out the rest of the painting. When you see the artistic process for what it is, it seems insane to start with detail first.

Exactly. Well said. A large part of that I think is "seeing" the big picture first which I think is a training to using the right brain which is its function. The left brain is more additive, so from that perspective it thinks adding all the parts, details, will eventually add up to a convincing whole. All the best
