I have this dvd....the ENTIRE thing is worth getting! Dan helped me tremendously in my art experience! I bought many actually, and gave them as GIFTS to young artists. If you TRULY want to be good at something, you invest in it.
This is one of the best art lessons I've ever had. And I've had many. Where's part 2?
Dan you are just amazing. You are Ana amazing teacher.
I think this just saved my life and I've finally figured out how to hold a pencil!
I think you just helped me learn to paint looser, just by holding my brush differently. Thank you!
Very good tips
This was wonderful - thank you for sharing.
Excellent video, it gave me some really good advices and ideas.
Very usefull ! At 1:20 the most interesting thing i heard about improving the drawing skills!
Sir its an amazing and very interesting basics of drawing 👌👌👌👍👍🙏🙏🙏
thanks for this video ,it's really working
Wow! "The part of your brain....." Amazing!
Does anyone know where the full video can be found? This was just about to get really good.
I actually have the DVD of this entire teaching...it was very worth it. Jerry's Artarama is where I got it.
very informative video. Thanks for sharing Dan Nelson.
Quality of painting by good taste , means be serious with your skills. Thats what everybody expects from the artists-painters, to paint beauty
I’ve always held my pencil “funny”, kind of like a child holds it, with slight adaptations. Teachers usually tried to correct me even though my printing was neat, so much so that I can write holding the pencil “properly” if I wanted. But I prefer my way. It is the reason I am able to draw the way I do. Hold your hand in a fist with your thumb tucked in...now squeeze and move your thumb around (with your fingers. My thumb never moves on it’s own ever). Write your name in the air as if it were a pencil...it’s very smooth, lots of arm muscle work instead of finger tips. Of course, the pencil lays across the thumb so it would mimic this movement. It is the way I held my pencil when I first started drawing at age 3.
This doesn’t work for me when it comes to painting though. Only for details.
Thank u sir
To all the whingers below, this is an excerpt. Says so in the description duh.
i dont have cam yet but this vid is ok but very short but it very strange im a writer/cartoonist/art
First, there is photo realism or hyper realism. This is where the artist paints from a photo with such exactitude, that it is difficult to say which is the photo and which is the painting.
Personally, I do not see the art in this style. It can be technically brilliant but it is in no way expressive.Paintings by Steve Mills, Robin Eley.
Everything that isn't photo realism is, in some way, "abstract' in that it isn't exact.Think of the verb To Abstract. It is a concept, a notion, an expression. There are degrees of abstraction.A room by Andrew Wyeth is clearly recognizable as a room. That's one degree of abstraction. Van Gogh's room in Arles is also recognizable as a room, but it is more abstract than the Wyeth.But no room you have ever walked into looked quite like it.
It is a recognizable scene that has been abstracted somewhat from what we see with our eyes.. Not as exact as photo realism but you can plainly see what is being depicted.
Vermeer, Wyeth,Ingres, Rembrandt, Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer.Cezanne.van Gogh.Mary Cassatt are in this category
Each of these artists has a personal style,an individual way of depicting reality. But it is still an abstract of 'reality'.
Then you have people like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Hans Hoffman, Helen Frankenthaler. We think of these people's work as being Abstract. But their style is more exactly described as non-representational art. Now, you might look at such a painting and think you 'see' a recognizable object in there somewhere but that wasn't the intention of the artist.
So, all painting that isn't photo realism is, to some degree, abstract.Some of that 'abstracted' painting is realistic or representational and some is non-representational.
"So, all painting that isn't photo realism is, to some degree, abstract."
Whilst I mostly agree with the artists mentioned and how you've grouped them, there's also a complete world of artists more like Anders Zorn and John Singer Sargent who despite painting VERY realistic scenes absolutely painted in very abstracted ways too. They generally had a point of focus with more detail, however the entire painting still is realistic. Most paintings of John Singer Sargent are in fact so realistic they do have a photographic quality to them, despite lacking super small brush work and extreme blending. All of the less defined brush work in paintings by Sargent are still very much representational, however more details were simply unnecessary for a complete 'photographic' experience. The main difference is in how brush work is shown in rather bold ways, but it's still photo realistic. As in life-like colours, proportionally accurate shapes and representational scenes.
I also have to politely disagree with calling Van Gogh a representational artist in terms of painting realistic, but with a lot of abstraction. His work is post-impressionist with a very strong focus on colour theory focused experiments. He mostly disregarded rules of perspective and accurate or realistic colour. Primary thing was playing with opposite colours next to each other and allowing for emotion to show through. Heck, Van Gogh probably was more of an early expressionist. Amazing paintings, but I would not necessarily classify that as 'realism'.
As for Paul Cezanne, sorry, but his colour usage and shape language are far from realistic. It doesn't make that much sense to group these together with artists like Rembrandt or Vermeer who absolutely painted in a more classical realism sense. It's about as silly as saying Gauguin painted realism just because we can see two figures or a tree in his paintings, whilst his paintings are void of any depth, shapes and forms are all over the place, not to mention the general colour explosion that has more of a cartoon quality to it! Ironically Gauguin did blend his strokes, so it's not always abstraction just by how brushes were used.
Good analysis and description!
so wheres your videos to prove it?
But what if you are unable to stand do to a disability or other problem of standing?
Then you sit down.
Why finish the promo the video midway into a discussion? At least let him finish the topic!
More meaning, less history; more history, less meaning
Some dubious logic
You cant use that style with a Ballpen or pen im not an asshole to apply it
Great, five minutes wasted and I'm no closer in getting my paints and canvases from the SoHo loft to the barn in Greenwich.
Dan, come to al Islam n success
I agree with others that you'd probably make more money uploading the whole vid to YT rather than peeing off your subscribers with extracts and relying on them buying the DVD.
muskndusk yea right, UA-cam money for 20,000 views would amount to pennies if anything. If he even sold one DVD, it would be more worth it. And I imagine this has sold several DVDs.
hypnopoodles
You have to factor in the costs of making and distributing the DVD. I wouldn't buy from him, simply because of the paltry extracts. Others may feel differently.
o.O ... Really... ?? ... This is UA-cam. You do realize you can make money through YT right? I mean you have 50,000+ subscribers. So y'all didn't need to cut the video off like that.
OK, so yeah, that was a pretty annoying tactic.
