The Forger's Masterclass - Ep.10 - Paul Cézanne

[@Malsum]

Honest no-nonsense critique like mr Myatt't is really the only way to develope when you have reached a certain stage of craftsmanship. It's the way its done on a higher level of artistic education and it is not bullying - it's honesty!

[@leighfoulkes7297]

Through my life in every Indeever I've done, I feel I've only gotten the "you're stupid" or "everything you do is gold" critiques and they both aren't helpful at all.

[@tombeast17]

Really would love another series of this - there are no good art programmes on TV these days :(

[@laurencelance586]

John is SUCH a good teacher, and a superb coach.

[@geofftrigger8165]

I have spent years studying Cezanne, so watching this was a kick! And what a generous job teaching. Thanks!

[@stanleyzucker3709]

The Forger is a terrific art teacher. I look forward to viewing his other videos.

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

I agree, he is amazing.

[@bugisami]

Great series. I could watch 100 episodes.

[@toprightchannel3080]

They came across as the least experienced cohort but I feel this group did the best out of all the episodes.

[@opinionatedmaria9472]

I'm loving these videos and learning a lot. John Myatt, you're so enthusiastic. Many thanks.

[@1artistatwork]

This format, with 3 art students and an accomplished instructor, is very informative. Thank you.

[@mona2242]

A brilliant teacher , I could watch these videos all day. Thanks

[@mrgadget1485]

Wow! I can't believe what these amateurs were able to achieve in such a short time. For me, the tattoo-artist's painting was the best but all of them were really, really good!

[@lluhu]

The tatoo artist was the worst by far. The best, the most faithful to Cezanne was the first one.

[@connieh.4689]

I am enjoying all of the Forger's series. This one especially...I learned more from this one. (My first oil painting was a Cezanne.) though, I don't paint anything like him...this group of students were great.

[@renzo6490]

As I listen to Myatt speak to this trio of artists, I’m struck with how difficult it is to talk about art with people who don’t have much experience using paint. It would have helped, I think if he had shown them a photo of the scene Cézanne saw as he painted. The provenčal landscape with the mont San Victoire in the distance.

[@miguelsuarez8010]

Watching these videos is an enriching experience.

[@ernestthelumberjack]

these need to be in HD

[@probstudio]

Love Cezanne.... thought all three of the painters did a nice job!

[@st.patrikentertainment]

Of all the program in this GREAT series of programs this one is the most fun of them all. All the participants in it I would love to have as my private friends. The art student seems to be such a kind person, the lady that works with clay is so charming and fun. I would love to drink white wine and laugh away an evening with her. And finaly the cute tattoo guy has the most craziest British dialect that I have ever heard. I just love it! Anyone knows where they speak like that in Britain. I just have to go there and hear it again. Thanks to all four of you for making this such a great 30 minutes of joy!

[@rowdeo8968]

wonderful series of art info. I have learned so much such as lub jelly for extending the time for paint and it will be much cheaper than art extender also house paint: I suspected that I could use it when I run out of my supplies. Nice show thank you.

[@tamarrajames3590]

John is a superb teacher of art. His honest critique, gentle suggestions, and enthusiasm come across very well.🖤🇨🇦

[@MichelleRichee]

I love Isabel's painting. It's wonderful.

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

The idea of the series was great. You certainly learn a lot from emulating a great artist, and in doing it, growing your understanding of the master, and of course in developing your own skills.

[@howardhill3395]

"the music of color" - I really enjoy the forger's appreciation of great art

[@mickavellian]

I would have given anything to have had a teacher like Myatt in my teens. It would've kept me interested in art not drift into music. Art came so very easily to me that my teachers acclaim just bored me regardless of the awards and accolades. Thirty years later I see this and remember how passionate (not GOOD just fearless) I was and how a lil bit of discipline and humility would've done wonders for my work. But ... there's always time :) Love this man. TV producers.. less cooking and more art!

[@mishael.aljuaid]

All of them did a great job

[@robertpalmer8371]

the paintings all have a certain 3D quality and they implemented the bold marks!

[@WonderTracks]

I love the banter with the lady around 7:00. Simply a great show!

[@minhtruong8565]

The best session. All three did a wonderful job. Cezanne must be smiling up there.

[@Kris_Toffer]

If they are to make another series (which I would love to see) they should have John paint alongside the others as something to compare to, since the paintings from "the masters" aren't made using the same materials and time frame.

[@carloszenteno]

I think that the "masters" paintings that they try to emulate are painted by John. He touches them a lot and he would not do that with a real original...

[@Kris_Toffer]

Of course they wouldnt lend an original to him. But he has as much time as he wants to paint them, I would wanna see what he can do in the same time they have, even better if he didnt know who he was emulating before the others knew either.

[@carloszenteno]

Yes, I agree, watching him at the same time as the students would be fun!

[@TrumanGN]

This is pure nonsense. The old forger manipulating these contemporary artists to forge Cezanne's work. Amazing what a little brainwashing can accomplish. There's no reason for these three to try to emulate Cezanne's work. Cezanne is impossible to understand with a few brush strokes.

[@tamarrajames3590]

Cezanne’s compositions, while landing between Impressionism and cubism, still had a very clearly designed foreground, middle distance, and background. This would be a really difficult challenge for artists unused to painting and colour. They did pretty well I think.🖤🇨🇦

[@e32b61]

They all did a really good job - (acryclics aside). It's amazing that they were able to do that in one day. And Cezanne is no slouch. That's seriously advanced stuff.

[@Namaste1001]

What is wrong with acrylics?

[@e32b61]

It's not what any of the master artists profiled in this series would have used. If you want to paint like them, you have to paint like they did. The overall effect is different when you have a medium that is almost quick dry and doesn't blend the same. You can't layer it the same. You can't rework it without painting over it in areas. It's just night and day. Like pen and marker.

[@Namaste1001]

ok thanks

[@courier007]

@@e32b61 you should have checked the history of John's forgings of old masters...he did them in acrylic house paint for the most part, so perhaps it isn't night and day, after all

[@e32b61]

@@courier007 Yes, but those were paintings of mostly cubists and modernists who were known to use such materials.

[@michaelsherck5099]

It's difficult to figure out what Cezanne did without seeing what he saw to begin with. Would be much more helpful to see Cezanne`s painting next to a photograph made from the same vantage point.

[@brisvegas859]

great effort all round, impressed :)

You don't have to draw your brush marks Beverly. I fell over laughing when he said that. I don't know why but that was the funniest thing ever. I'm not laughing at Beverly, but just the whole thing is hilarious.

[@4everminky]

loving the education im getting with regard to these famous artists and their backgrounds. Would love to have a go at some of these . really enjoyed the series - many thanks

[@Pearly403]

minky hughes Go for it, minky! Painting is so unbelievably relaxing and will make you feel really good. Acrylic paints (much less hassle then oils) and ready-to-use canvasses don't have to cost much. Invest in a good set of brushes and a medium that will stop the paint drying to quickly. Then find a motive and just paint what you see and feel. Soon you will have walls full of amazing art. Get yourself ready for friend and family wanting a painting lol :-)

[@oldbloke135]

From the fence upwards, Isabel's painting is really good. It's difficult to know what Cezanne would have done with England's uniform unlit greenery!

[@geofftrigger8165]

He'd move to France. Agree lose the fence. But I guess you have seen as many of his paintings as I have..sans fences.

[@ShinyColors]

So beautiful 😍 loved it 😊 😍 my best wishes to you 💐 stay safe stay connected 😊

[@smoothtouch77]

Having little experience in painting is actually an advantage when it comes to semi-abstract styles, like Cezanne's or Braque's, for you are more likely to be free of academic realistic rules.

[@cakec9]

If you listen to the preview of every episode, he says everybody can learn to paint like the Masters. The idea is to understand and imitate the masters so that atleast 1% will stick to the current artists from the Masters' techniques and style. I think thats what we do in our every day life as well. Dont we try to cook the way our mom did?? It wouldnt help you look at your mom's recipe will it? I think its a great program and wonderful guide in every aspect. Pls keep'em coming. Mr.Myatt, thank u

[@katehobbs2008]

Interesting how the art graduate was not able to really let go of the representational. And the tattooist was free to use enough darks.

[@thomervin7450]

What I think is interesting is how you feel the need to create a false contrast between art school and freedom.

[@TheDaveGH]

Nice, but I don't understand why he didn't mention: hold the brush further back, they hold it like a pen.

[@NeccoWecco]

+TheDaveGH you can hold it by the ferrule

[@karenspooner1492]

Very good instructor! Wish he'd been one of mine in art school...

[@markjennings2605]

They did such good paintings with so little experience. Cezanne painted everyday for 40 years and are his paintings really any better ? Of course the art market , the dealers , will laugh and say " don't be ridiculous" because they have to protect their business .

[@ronbianca9722]

[@coyhampton3087]

How long do you think you would have to let an oil painting dry before you poured cold coffee on it?

[@schwabmw]

+Coy Hampton I'd wait 6 months or more. That's about how long you should wait to varnish a painting. Depending on the environment, it can take 9 months or a year even for the oxygen to be released from the oils to dry. That said, if you are in a rush, you probably won't muddy a painting if you do it 3-6 months. Like anything, test it out yourself!

[@coyhampton3087]

Matt Schwab Thanks!

[@roberegross]

I'm intrigued by Anybody who uses KY Jelly with their paint! So, is this used strictly as a glaze, I'm wondering, or as something to keep the paint 'open' so it doesn't dry so quickly?

[@gattbe5611]

Its a good example of ' THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES '

[@mickavellian]

Acrylics are not as smooth as oils and require more "pulling" making it impossible to get smooth tonalities. There are specific additives for acrylics to remain moist but those do not soften brushstrokes. Imagine a Rembrandt portrait with acrylics. I used to use something similar to a KY jelly to smooth brush strokes but it was water soluble , but now a days they do make a water soluble KY Jelly. probably a lot cheaper than the additives I used to use.
