I love your philosophy in original art. We all have our favorite artists and artwork that we wish to replicate, and it's perfectly fine to take bits of work from others as inspiration. Success as an artist isn't necessarily being the one to come up with the newest great thing. Rather, it's effectively making something that effectively communicates their knowledge and experiences and inspiring others to do the same.
I have ALWAYS loved Mucha ever since I was little and I didn't even know who he was or what I was looking at. You really can't go wrong with beautiful feminine shapes and beautiful nature shapes in my book! ❤️ wow u mentioned Alex Ross my favorite comic book artist too!!
The work of Aubrey Beardsley came before Mucha and despite doing a fair amount including his King Arthur stuff He died at 25 so not so many are singing his praises
I'm studying Art Nouveau and absolutely love it. So many ideas swirling in my head. There are so many elements of inspiration in it, other artists just can't help to be inspired themselves. Thanks for the mention of Hamilton's book. Gonna purchase it!
great tips! the drawings in those books look so gorgeous, i didn't know the differences between art nouveau and art deco, or how they were related, that was really cool to learn :)
I am so not the person to learn this from but I absolutely love Mucha and I had to share. SO what I screwed up in the video is: Art Nouveau is more like old mid evil tapestries with the organics and curves whereas Art Deco is more geometric like Celtic designs and motifs. Anyway! I am glad you enjoyed the video! Sorry about my fumbled info
BrendaFOBRocks that is awesome that you did that though! Understanding modern and classical art movements or even being aware of them is incredibly beneficial to every artist. Studying composition and design from these movements will really help you in your art practice. The exploration of art was always interesting to me. How certain movements really made their mark on history.
i love how decorative art nouveau is and i love geometric drawings so i had to look it up :) very pretty to look at, thank you for mentioning it! i love looking at different art styles and movements for inspiration, especially anything baroque - thats my favorite to look at :)
Hi Mia, I have an exam on the next Monday about what I think of the art "Carnation" which is one of the arts from Alfons Mucha about "The Flowers". Could you help me describe his techniques, opinions and what we see in the painting? That would be very nice of you. Thank you!
Hi, I'm not the best person for that information. I have not studied art nouveau nearly enough to feel comfortable acting as an expert on the subject. In my video, I am just studying off of Alphonse Mucha. I do not know his exact techniques or his nor his inspirations for each piece. I believe his flowers set was a commercial piece but again I am not sure. I am putting a link in the description for a video on art nouveau it gives a much better explanation than I could. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. ua-cam.com/video/P4luPnObQYo/v-deo.html
I've been getting into Mucha as well (UA-camr Hajra Meeks always talks about him). Those books you got look fantastic, and your studies are really good too!
When I started drawing cats I had a book where you colour cats, but not some cartoony cats but real-life looking cats And I copied some and they looked really good (I always said that I didn't come up with it) but then I started to draw on my own and it was soooo fucking bad xD Now that I look at it it seems like I learned nothing from my copying Now I'm actually trying to learn and remember the things I learned from references Do you plan your drawing? Bc I just start with a circle and either a good picture happens or I just start a few sketches and then become frustrated and stop
It depends what I am doing. My warmup sketches are usually very spontaneous, but if I am illustrating a scene or a character I will either have a very clear image in my head or work it out in a few thumbnails before doing the complete image.
All you have to do in order to monetize or post a copy is credit the original artist. It’s done commercially all the time with classic artists. Proper crediting is: Original Name of Painting by Your Name after Original Artist’s Name
If it is a modern working artist you will be labeled as a plagiarist and accused of stealing their work. It is always good to sight sources or just label studies as practice.
@@MiaDraws Who would find out about your practice? You don't have to show everything you make, you know. It's wild that people don't understand this, but here we are.
@@dressmaking really that statement was for people who would post copies online. Like I would keep notes at to who the artist is and what painting or image I used incase I want to do another study later on but yeah if your just doing it for practice and not posting there’s no real issue.

Most welcome, I how you enjoy it!
Thank you for this one!
13:53 Love your green practice drawing.... It's looks different.... But i a fun way. It's your style.
I love your video. I studied Mucha. Your really great. Mucha liked to draw figures in the numbers of 2 and 3 in his flows.
His background patterns are beautiful as well

Oh my god! Baroque has so much mood. I love the architecture associated with that movement as well. :)
Favorite artist❤

Do video about all your book collection

11:24 Is there something in the Canadian school system that makes people really sensitive about copying for practice?

Que the heavy fangirl breathing xD relatable
My advice would be to learn to pronounce his name first.
