57 Artists meeting artists | Rob Houdijk

I visited the Dutch painter and sculptor Rob Houdijk. While we were painting our portraits we had a conversation about painting from life, painting as a living, painting subjects, painting portraits and the Dutch artist Kees Verwey,

I love to hear the brush strokes and breathing. All the human noises make so you can't hide emotions and perhaps fear or excitement. I heard Rob say "It is ok. It is going to be good." Sounds like he was reassuring himself as he was following the process.

[@cherylhmackie]

The videographer was great, his style matched yours. A great video Titus. Thanks

[@hansvanaartsen2422]

As Rob Houdijk was my painting teacher for about 7 years till last summer I really enjoyed this video. Thanks to both of you.

[@katella]

" It's all just arranged by coincidence" 😊 I'm going to use that phrase in the future. Great.

[@ginabadeaux9319]

i have been looking forward to this video ,i love you speaking english for us .thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@amandagleason8641]

What a superb collaboration - so interesting hearing you chatting as you painted and the portraits are beautiful. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@moniquehollands6947]

Wat een geweldige film, ik zag zijn liefde voor jouw en visa versa, top mentor gevonden denk ik.

[@ravinagahawatte2476]

very interesting conversation between these two artists......tks for posting

[@rl4424]

Excellent video! Beautiful portraits 🎉! I can’t wait to see the next painting session you have with Rob. 😊 ❣️

[@evelyne7071]

Excellent paintings and discussion.

[@frannypeony2076]

Yes please - an afternoon at the beach! Titus, Rob spent more time perusing his palette so less time in the position you decided to portray him so well done. Such generosity from you both. Thank you!

[@reneerikolsen9694]

This was a brilliant video! The different points of view between two artists were a treat for the artistic ear. Rob is a true find for us listening and viewing. I 100 percent agree with his view of using photos as a supplement to painting from life (if at all possible). Painting from life, you will definitely find a joy of discovering and seeing the changes in light while you paint. Thanks Titus, for setting-up these "artistic encounters". A real treat!

[@EdoHannema-Watercolour-Art]

I paint watercolours since 1987, back then, no social media or even internet. So I subscribed to a Dutch Art Magazine. (Palet en Tekenstift) And Rob Houdijk was already in those magazines. Always enjoyed his work. But my watercolour hero was Kees van Aalst. And still is.

[@reneerikolsen9694]

@@EdoHannema-Watercolour-Art There are a lot of really good watercolour artists around; each of us have our favorites.

[@EdoHannema-Watercolour-Art]

@@reneerikolsen9694 There are good ones all around, and sometimes the best use no socials whatsoever!

[@Goatex100]

So nice to watch you two paint portraits of each other. I Like the dialogue between you two by way of open frank discussions. Looking forward to watch you two again. Very informative and especially hearing you both sharing your points of viewing your artistic techniques. 🇨🇮👍🙏

[@yolanda.c1]

I giggle at the fact that we are impervious to the advice and voyeurism offered to artists working in front of others. I always thought that was because of my age! Great work! Love the collaboration.

[@donnabuttons1]

What a good cultivated English accent Rob has. This was such an interesting conversation.

[@judihopewell2499]

As a portrait painter i am enjoying this series very much indeed….👍🏻🇨🇦

[@KevinS-dx6hh]

Wow! Thank you very much Titus, a real privilege to look on and listen.

[@Northumbergull]

Excellent video, yet again! 👏 I look forward to further collaboration between the two of you 👍

[@marildetesilva1410]

This face -to face retrats Artístic interaction in Arts painting is really interesting that in a few minutes the Works completed , beautiful and provides wise connections of creative inspiration.

[@marildetesilva1410]

[@janeramsay3291]

I loved this . Him saying that he works from memory really resonates with me. Recently I was painting a portrait based on another artist’s composition, but I did not want to use the face in that painting. I created my own face and from memory, I had created the face of my daughter. It’s amazing that one’s mind is like a camera. 🥰

[@andrewbaker8373]

I have done a lot of paintings from life, particularly portraits, and I get the dialogue and meanings of the dynamics of active looking and how this can give you a sort of immediacy and intensity you would not otherwise get. Thank to both of you for this experience

[@evechabot]

Wonderful meeting. Wow! the portraits, both are well done. I really enjoyed the discussion about painting from photos, your ideas and opinions agree with mine. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment.

[@annestickney7371]

I love Rob's style of painting, he is new to me! I'm encouraged that his studio looks as disorganized as my own!

[@joannegagnon-marihart]

Si Rob Houdijk peut se rappeler d'une scène ou d'un visage et peindre d'après ce souvenir, je crois que vous avez le talent de retrouver dans une photo l'atmosphère du moment où elle a été prise et de la retransmettre dans votre aquarelle 😊 La série des fanfares en est un grand exemple. Et c'est la preuve d'un aussi grand talent. À chacun sa méthodologie.

[@JohnsArtLife]

It's very interesting watching two painters paint each other and the conversation. I watched the last one, too.

[@joannegagnon-marihart]

J'ai beaucoup aimé la spontanéité qui se dégage du portrait que vous avez réalisé. Vous avez capturé l'élan et la concentration de Rob Houdijk. Vous avez vu au delà de l'image. Vous avez saisi l'émotion se dégageant de la forme. Comme dans l'exécution des fanfares : vibration et énergie. Merci beaucoup de nous permettre d'assister à ce moment de création.

[@madeleinegiraldi6838]

Something to not only enjoy but to also learn from is a special treat!❤

[@marypartridge5154]

Thank you all your videos are so refreshing after all the utube art

[@Echoingsweetly]

Great dialogue between you too!! What a fun time to learn about each other! Loved it, so very interesting 🌹 Hope to see more in the future🌹 Well done🌹

[@jeffreyschlotter2518]

Excellent video, in all respects. Particularly the marvelous conversation. I’m looking forward to others such videos in the future.

[@lauriefinelli7007]

I loved watching 2 great artists paint together. Your conversation was so inspiring and loved the respect you had for each other and the sincere compliments you both exchanged. I love the advice to first paint portraits from life then possibly finish some details from photos. It was also so nice to hear both of your personal histories and how you both knew to go off on your own and it was the best decision of your lives. Thank you for this and look forward to many more videos in this format.😊

[@Wal48]

Wonderful eavesdrop and insights, superb.

[@desire-vn9181]

Love all your videos! I look forward to them every week. So insightful, meditative, and inspiring ❤️

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

I am really interested in the way Rob develops his rendering. I tried to find more on him but sadly there isn’t much more. I did find a small video were he is painting a beautiful young girl and another of him drawing a child in charcoal but that’s it. Hope you do more with this guy as he seems very close to how you think in watercolor as well. It is so inspiring to watch other artists at work.

[@TitusMeeuws]

Thank you Stephen. Maybe I will post another video with Rob soon

[@grfdevries]

Great Titus! 🎉 I would love to see this great painter make a watercolour 😊

[@GerdBartsch-lu5nm]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings.. Ideas and your approach towards painting 🎨🙏

[@user-bh8qz9eo9r]

I just love this - waiting for more, thanks

[@lv21987]

This was wonderful. Thank you.

[@MichelleMMears]

Well that was so much fun!!!!

[@bendunselman]

Inspiring series Artist meeting Artists.

[@JoJosephson-pw7yz]

Gidday mate! That was great!

[@geri1864]

This was such an interesting video. I learned a lot. Now I just need to practice it in my own paintings

[@jeffreybond2742]

interesting / helpful / I'll watch more

[@valerijohnson2839]

Extremely interesting and enjoyable.

[@christinajarmolinski727]

Nice idea. Thanks.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

This is kind of weird prospective... But Interesting! Thx for upload.

[@caifrank7425]

Without the Photos , You can do the greatest ARTS inside your deeply Minds just like VanGogh did that

[@FreedomOfSport]

Forgot to color grade the video?

[@TitusMeeuws]

Bad monitor

[@jamiewashere]

Something not quite right with the white balance or contrast or something like that. Great content though, thanks for posting it.

[@caifrank7425]

The Artist should united with each other just like VanGogh and Gauguin who live inside the great Yellow house

[@edinak5805]

Not a good example that didn't turn out well as we know they were fighting all the time, till Van Gogh ended up cutting his own ear off.

[@GerdBartsch-lu5nm]

Gauguin was very manipulating and dominant towards Van gogh

[@joannegagnon-marihart]

Gauguin semblait menacé par le talent de Van Gogh. Van Gogh manquait de confiance en lui-même . Ses démons intérieurs grugeaient son énergie...et sa souffrance le rendait vulnérable.

[@0pieamii]

artists need to meet artists to filter artists vs

[@lisarnful]

Ok this is a silly observation. I notice a generational difference in your English accents. You sound American and he sounds British. Does this reflect a difference in school curriculum? Or exposure to American television programs? Interesting

[@andrelloyd4010]

A incredibly stimulating exercise with lots of helpful discourse. I found the video to be captivating and wonderfully stimulating. Many thanks to both of you and best wishes 🙏🏽
