Paint like Hans Hartung - Tachisme - Doing art experiments
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лис 2020
- The German-French artist Hans Hartung experimented a lot in his art making process. He is associated to the tachisme art movement but abstraction lyrique, the European counterpart of the Abstract expressionist painters in the US. By doing art experiments, Hans Hartung art looks quite different, it takes some work to like it. To understand his wat of working I do my own art experiments trying to create similar artwork.

Materials
The art materials I use in the videos are not sponsored.
I prefer to work on multi-purpose paper, more info in this video: • How to choose the RIGH... In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video. Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.

I absolutely loved this video. I am inspired to get out and experiment. Have been stuck on the idea of “trying to create and getting started”, but after this video, I think the key is to just keep flowing and see what comes. Thanks for the inspiration and freedom.
Thanks, Keeny. I have my mantra: do, do, doing. Thinking about making art never gives me joy. Making, really just anything, does. Flow comes from emerging yourself in a new project, any new project. Happy painting, Albert
Thank you so much... inspiring and liberating as so many of your videos.. All the best
Thanks, Patrice, just join the club of free spirits. It's fun, messing around like this. Albert
Thank you so much! I love all of this but especially the one stroke!
Thanks Patty, nice to hear. I like to show different options and how it will look. Apparently it works based on your comment. Happy painting, Albert
Amazing tools used!
Thanks, Hart. Indeed, why not. And it's fun Essential in art making, in my opinion. Albert
Another great video Albert, thank you 😊. I love your method when you explore and experiment.
Hi T J, thanks. You can learn so much by just doing experiments like this. I can recommend it. Albert
Hi again.
I started experimenting with a marker pen today. Interestingly, after about six attempts, the trial runs suddenly started to produce meaningful results. I shall be walking the fields around my area, looking for desicated plant stems, as soon as this awful, high wind and rain stops. Here I am fired up, not with making art, but experimenting and seeing what is possible. Thanks.
Hi Gordon thanks for the update. Sounds very interesting what you are doing. I would love to see some images. Good luck with the weather, it's perhaps the wrong season to hope for other types at the moment. Albert
Thanks ALBERT again for the superb fantastic exploration and interpretation of Hans style and technique. Your contribution to art and artists are incredibly amazing!!! This will be added to my gallery collection.
Hi Max, thanks. I like the beautiful ugliness of random in his style. Enjoy making your versions. Albert
Thank you for another great video.
Hi Konstantinos, thanks. I love experiments like this. Interesting to do! Albert
That’s very Interesting!!! Great art ! Thanks 🤩!
Hi Margarita, thanks. Why don't you give it a go yourself? Albert
Cool artist - -thanks for introducing him, and for all the interesting experiments.
Hi Philna, thanks. I enjoyed it. Albert
Love this idea. Must try some
Thanks Olivia, is absolutely fun to do. Albert
Thank you for the inspiring videos and the opening door to another painters :-)
Hi Angelika, thanks. I like it very much indeed to show work of other artists, like you say to open the door for others. Do you paint too? I would love to hear, Albert
”Art is to Express , not impress ” :) I will keep that in mind! I had a lovely weekend because of your videos, tomorrow I will try my best to focus on my working day ! Thank you Mr Albert!
Hi lolli, thanks, I enjoyed your company here. Have s good week. Albert
It's so exciting to experiment and follow what happens next, that's a wonderful moment just to be in the moment😊 Thanks !⚘⚘⚘
Hi Susy, thanks. Yes it's about being in the moment. So much fun to do, it looks like nothing until you suddenly have 40 and it becomes art. Albert
I love those reed paintings! I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for natural brushes on my next walk.
Hi Jonas, thanks. Sometimes size does matter. Different tools like this reed is really interesting. Albert
Thank you, Albert!
My pleasure.
Bedankt voor de video Albert! Vooral die rietstelen, dat effect met zwarte verf vond ik erg mooi....goed idee! Heel interessante kunstenaar die Hans Hartung!
Hallo Ellen, bedankt. Ja dat riet werkte echt heel goed. Het is zo'n boeiende kunstenaar, misschien doe ik nog wel eens een video over hem. Albert
Great video! I love the freedom that can be experienced by experimenting! Shockingly different from the Rigidity of Mondrian’s style of the previous video.
Hi Franca, thanks. And the funny part is that there can also be freedom within rigidity. Maybe that's the challenge? Have a great week, Albert
Hi Albert! Thank you for all these experiments. Your tests are really very successful especially those with the reeds.
I had the chance to see in 2016 a big exhibition on Hartung in Aubagne because he was a legionnaire and there is the legion in Aubagne. It was fascinating but above all it showed his paintings of projections of stains and these more figurative beginnings. It is therefore very interesting that you have to demonstrate the use of various tools to make the lines.
Hi Dominique, thanks. I would love to see an exhibition of his work. Maybe someday. I enjoyed the experiments but could easily make another video because he has so much interesting work made. Maybe someday.
Albert
Hi Albert.Thank you for the mention. I like the way that this video follows on quite naturally from the one you did on Richard Serra, As you painted with the water reeds, I noticed first, the lighter marks being made around the edges. These were far more interesting to me. I decided I wanted to have ago at that. Most of my prints and paintings have been quite dense. I 'm keen to have a try at a more ethereal, open style. I found a lot of inspiring, tantalising ideas in this video, thank you so much.
Hi Gordon, thanks and my pleasure. You pointed me to him. Indeed it follows nicely on the Serra experiments. The spontaneity of the reed prints at the border are gorgeous. They resemble the artwork of Hartung, I'm a proud of that. And exactly this is what makes his art so interesting: use unexpected 'brushes' and your out of control, wonderful. I prepared some more experiments but ran out of time to execute and film them. But the video turned out nicely I guess.
Enjoy doing your own experiments, Albert
Thank you for inviting me into Hans’ world. I can’t keep getting all these new ideas and projects when I have not finished my current ones. Great video.
Hi James, thanks. I switch projects sometimes if I feel like it. It's an internal struggle but i learned over the years that when I 'have' to finish a project, my mind is in control and that parts is way less creative and my project looks like my heart wasn't in it. Just a thought. Happy painting, Albert
I should rephrase. I want to finish the projects. I don’t have to, but I am excited to.
I get it, forget my reply and just enjoy painting! Have a great week, Albert
Those turned out great! I think of brown stains because I often stain my counter tops and desk tops with my coffee cup. Painting with plants, tree branches, pine cones, holds some attraction to me. Hans Hartung would be another artist that would be good to use for an Invitation to Paint segment. Thanks for the introduction. The artist that I discovered this week was Cecily Brown.
Hi Culture Fan, thanks. Yes, they indeed worked out nicely. Always fun to take a different route.
Cecily Brown is nice (I didn't know her) but very alive and I prefer to show the ones that stopped painting. Have a great week, Albert
Love to see your video!!!!! And I would love to see it more clear -- Maybe lights up few light when your are recording the painting process, that would be really awesome. Thank you!
Hi Vivienne, thanks. I'll see what I can do about the light, never thought it would be a problem. But thanks for telling me. Albert
great video. i didn‘t know HH before. be healthy anf safe!
Hi ReichHop, thanks. Hartung was also new to me but fascinating to look into. Stay safe, Albert
Hartung's work is stunning.
Hi ihopetowin, yes indeed. I guess it's not for everyone, but when taking the time to appreciate it, you can learn a lot. Albert
Thanks Albert. I shall send you some examples when I have anything of merit. As for the weather, living in the Pennine Mountain Chain, as I do, we tend to get a lot of rain and high wind. It tends to be breezy for a large part of the year, blowing in from the West. We Yorkshire hillsiders are a tough breed, we simply get on with what we have been given, in terms of cold, wet weather.
Haha, a lovely tough breed. Albert
Thank you Albert for the amazing content. Is it possible to do an episode on Rothko’s techniques? How to achieve that floating color field effect that’s almost humming above the surface. Thanks
Hi Mohamed, thanks. Rothko is on my list but I'm still looking for the time (because of the layers) to make art in his style. Maybe later this year. Albert
If you are going to spray paint indoors, it should be done in a room with ventilation that can accommodate for the strong smell
You're totally right, Paul, my wrong in this video. But is was very windy that week so I had my window wide open as an alternative. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video, though, Albert
Thanks for this insightful video about a Master Painter. Very inspiring.- Dinkar Bedekar, India
Hi Dinkar, thanks. Indeed a master painter. Albert
i love your videos.im wondering how do you make the frames...by yourself or buy them? cost a lot?
Hi Morteza, thanks. I buy them, not that expensive, I believe around € 30, a floater frame. Here a link to a video where I explain why I work on paper and how I frame what I make: ua-cam.com/video/H2vpSqvUESg/v-deo.html
Hope this helps, Albert
Hi, I like your videos a lot even if in english without italian subtitles, they are very interesting.
I'd like you to tell us about Cecily Brown, is it possible?
Thanks, Antonella. About the subtitles, I believe you can add the language you want. Next time I will add Italian as well. Thanks for suggesting Ceclia Brown, I can see why her art is interesting, but it doesn’t appeal to me, sorry. If you have other suggestions I'd love to hear them. Albert
Hartung is one of my favorite artists. Thanks for this video.
Albert, sir, I have a related question: When you mount your works on paper, how do you mount them to the frame? I am guessing that it is a temporary mounting, to show what the result would look like in a frame. Do you use double-sided tape, or some other method? I have created over 400 (finished, frameable) works - many on paper - and I need a way to photograph them. I have built the frame. I need to know a good way to mount (temporarily) within that frame, so as to get a good photo. Thanks in advance for your much valued help..! :-)
Hi President, thanks. It use pieces of masking tape. I create double sided tape with it. I create a circle or ring by placing one end underneath the other. The glue is on the outside. Hopelessly difficult to explain in words... I can use it 3 or 4 times and take new tape. Oh and in the frame I mounted a foam board, but a more sturdy surface probably would be better, but for the moment this works. Hope this helps. Perhaps I can show it in te next video. I'll see what I can do. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Excellent, and thank you. I can make double-sided masking tape all the livelong day..! lol
Perhaps a sheet of Masonite will be a more long-term durable surface than foamcore board. I'm off to my workshop now..! :-)
Aye, we breed them hard in Yorkshire. We have to, the North of England gets most of the cold weather. It's nowt to us, it's like water off a duck's back! *Smile*
I love your channel. It's my safe place. It always puts me in a good mood. Thanks for being you and always inspiring me, it helps me a lot with my own channel. 🥰 I love creating videos too and I would LOVE if you could check out some of them!
Hi Fravolous, thanks. You do a good job too, totally different. Your vlog-style is fun to watch. Good luck on your channel. Albert
Thanks Albert for your videos. Did you make any video or explain painting techniques of Daan Van Golden? Please feel free to contact me via my gmail account. That way, I can point you to a particular painting of him that I am interested in. Thanks all you do for all of us!!!
Hi Max, thanks. I made a little hidden Daan van Golden video: ua-cam.com/video/3JgH9IRRMJ4/v-deo.html. Great artist. Hope this helps. If you wang more just send me an email, Albert
