The Forger's Masterclass - Ep. 03 - Vincent Van Gogh

Myatt's three students have to paint self portraits using the vibrant brush strokes of Van Gogh.

[@lawrencefinch-hatton6231]

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.

[@user-hu2on4xd6u]

If she had any art knowledge she probably would have nailed it.

[@m-bronte]

I like how Mr. Myatt mentions jail time so nonchalantly, like a resume high light...lol!

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 !!

[@Maniafilia]

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

[@fabrizio483]

The Van Gogh he presents the students is one of his forgeries. In fact, in most of these episodes, he presents his forgery.

[@LshowKnows]

Come on how would he present the real paintings if they are in museums?

[@fabrizio483]

LshowKnows It could have been a giclée.

[@LshowKnows]

Fabrizio Aldonne I never saw a gliclée in "real life" so would there be any texture of paint and brush? If not then for an example I think his paintings are good

[@fabrizio483]

LshowKnows Not of the paint, but of the brush. But anyway, the paintings shown could have been done by someone else. I just thought it was interesting to point out they were his own forgeries.

[@LshowKnows]

Fabrizio Aldonne Yes yes I also think that he should at least, at some point say it´s a work of his. So in the end, a gliclée can´t recreate the texture of the paint, only of the brush?

[@robertpalmer8371]

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

[@Maywyn]

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.

[@krautgraphics]

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!

[@andrewross9732]

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.

[@littleripper312]

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.

[@mona2242]

Love John, however, I believe the students would benefit if he would demonstrate a few brushstrokes before their session . Nevertheless,I totally enjoy all his demos.

[@lowellhayenga8330]

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.

[@josephtermeer5196]

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.

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!

The women's paintings were actually very good homages to Vincent's intricate style. The closed off, arrogant male got offended by the instructors directness rather than finding value in the direction the instructor was giving. He did well on the face, though. You could tell what was important to him.

[@creative2716]

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!"

[@rexmundi2237]

Vincent rarely finished a painting in one sitting, sometimes took days if not weeks of tinkering. - His knowledge of anatomy was extremely poor - except perhaps with regard to his intimate knowledge of his own head. But the thing about genius is that the shortcomings (ie impatience, impulsiveness, short attention span) become part of their appeal, greatness, their style.

[@lowellhayenga8330]

+Rex Mundi I disagree. You don't produce over 900 paintings and 500 drawings in 7 years by tinkering around for weeks. He was highly skilled and schooled in sketching and that is what allowed him to produce at the rate he did. He drew with his paint brushes. Vincent sometimes would finish his portraits of people in less than 30 minutes. This is a well known fact because most people were scared to sit for him so he had to work quickly. I can testify through observation that many of his landscapes were done in hours not days. The simple sketch work he did with each brush. Deliberately not putting color on top of color was the key to fast production. I'm a painter and skies and clouds are my trademark. I can tell you Vincent spent maybe ten minutes on some of his simple sky work not hours like myself. Also, he did many paintings on relatively small canvas' 10x14. He would finish those in literally minutes. Van Gogh was one of the most productive artists that ever lived. Not many reach the number of pieces he did even in a lifetime of painting, Which Vincent didn't get the chance to do. He was an artist for only 9 years and he put out over 900 paintings and an estimated 5-700 drawings. No artist in history has ever achieved that. Ever.

[@rexmundi2237]

Okay, I'm no expert on painting but I've been reading about van Gogh for decades. Just finished the Stephen naifeh book. Don't forget canvases have to dry - or he'd simply run out of paint and be forced to put canvases aside until Theo sent him more money. He was far more methodical and conventional early in his career. Van Gogh as you describe him didn't appear until around 1888 in Paris, then Arles. Sometimes he simply had to wait for the paint to dry before continuing - other times he was probably too manic or inspired to be patient. He probably took much longer to complete paintings when he had to be very economical with paint, and until he worked out how to finish quickly without making a complete mess (ie "not putting colour on top of colour"). Yes, he was very productive, but you are assuming the majority of his pictures were successes. Who knows what the attrition rate was per day of canvases destroyed or painted over.

[@rexmundi2237]

Vincent drank absinthe when in Paris but I think he preferred cognac. Was he an alcoholic? probably, due to drinking the stuff to calm hunger pains. I'm no psychiatrist, but it's well known that alcohol aggravates any predisposition to psychiatric illness. General opinion now seems to be that Vincent's poor health, nervous breakdowns and psychotic episodes were probably due to a combination of hereditary mental illness and late stages of syphilis. Theo had incurable syphilis too, and likewise ended up in an asylum where he died six months after Vincent. They both knew that. One of their sisters (Wilhemina?) also suffered from mental illness and spent the last years of her life in an asylum.

I‘m sad that Carl didn‘t understand the way of Van Gogh. He used a positive and a negative type of painting where you take out all the colors out except just 2. He missed the point 100% The passion in Gogh‘s painting was that he used the entire rainbow of colors in a wide variety of shapes and sizes that almost seams chaotic when you would look at it closely. But which would create a coherent picture from a distance. If you‘d look closely at Carl‘s painting. You would see only lines and 2 colors. A very cold painting that has nothing to do with a vivid mind that painted the Van Gogh self portrait. The teacher was actually kind enough to keep it cool.

Paul Thomas Not exactly. But good effort :) _Am I going to be that Dutch person that’s in every Van Gogh video? Oh well, here we go. I’m sorry_ The first and second ‘G’ are pronounced the same way (forget about the H). How gutteral these G’s depends on whether you want a more Northern-Netherlands (harder like the Scottish loch as mentioned) or Southern/Flemish sound (perhaps closer to a hard H but it’s still a G). The ‘o’ is short, closer to the British ‘Goff’. The ‘van’ part is often overlooked: it’s closer to ‘vahn’, not the harsher English ‘vèn’. In the end it really doesn’t matter that much: names and words are often pronounced differently in different countries/languages. But it’s fascinating to learn about.
