i try to explain the statement there are no values during the several vids, the short version is this, value scales are a model, models are a conceptual representation and not what is found in reality, attachment to models as if they are real is a perceptual bias which blinds people to the simple truth in front of their own eyes, the values system in painting was invented when there were few pigments available, and also when nothing was known about the characteristics/physics of light, a simple illustration is this- doing a charcoal drawing, what does one see when they look at the subject? they see colours and then attempt to calculate what level of grey that colour is, but even after the grey is lain upon the paper it has the appearance of colouration because the light reflecting from the supposed greys are coloured wavelengths in a specific combination, things are not lighter and deeper based upon a false values scale, they are what they are based upon the wavelength content reflected to the eye, one comes to understand this while painting with a full spectral range palette of colours and most easily seen outdoors, but it applies in all places at all times, values is the easy out because one never has to be completely specific in colouration, the local colour run through grey scale is usually sufficient as those ideas are applied, that has little to do with actual relational colouration where both in large notes as well as the modelling of forms it requires one to see a different colour every quarter inch, not a value difference but an actual change in hue, there are 3 brief axioms that hold true to what is actually before the eye whether it is seen by an individual or not, they are, nature does not repeat colours, no colour is a simple value change of its neighbor, and the transitional note between two colours is not an admixture of those two adjacent notes but a colour unlike either of those two, and it becomes more complex from there, as hensche said if people want to paint with antique/obsolete ideas (or wish to follow someone else's stylistic features) they are welcome to do so, but if they want to develop their own vision and their own perception and express that vision through their own ideas and abilities then they will have to follow a different agenda, in all of these materials on this channel i simply try to point out how what hensche taught is different from what others have taught or teach today, and as he said you cannot know what those differences actually are until you test it for yourself through study as he prescribed, it is a perceptual problem not a verbal problem,
I just love this guy! He is extremely generous in showing his process and not talking every step of the way! What a gift! His paintings are exceptional! He is all about the art rather than himself. Rare find these days. I gain so much from watching you and your shares of insight!
OMG, great job here. We're watching!! Teaching high schoolers value scale right now. Can't wait to lay this one on em :)
This is enlightening. I've read about Hensche and taken several classes with a student of his. But I've learned so much more from your videos already. Concepts that eluded me have been explained and I may be able to continue my studies.
This is magical. I’ve just discovered this channel and this way of painting and I am captivated!
God bless you . A true master. Thank you for all this amazing art.
Life is all about giving and you are a kind heart and a true artist.
Thank you sir for taking the time to film these! Marvelous!
are you a student of painting?
@@gtkerr2171 I am. I paint from life. I take a Boston school approach. I have been studying, observing and mixing color for seventeen years. Only in the last three have my eyes really observed anything.
I have only ever heard the concepts you describe in your 2009 interviews about Hensche's principles from the Boston school painters. It was enlightening and an arsenal for me to take into the field! Cheers
@@annicanhickman6820 amen and ditto!
@@gtkerr2171 I have heard that you don't teach. Do you accept onlookers? If not, maybe a viewing of your work? Is there a place to view one?
@@annicanhickman6820 i sent you a message on your facebook page
There are no values?
You've got my attention.
thank you for your comment it prompted me to add a brief explanation in vid description above,
@@gtkerr2171 thank you so much for uploading and the extensive footnotes. Much appreciated down here in east Tennessee, where there is no Boston school! Hurray for Hensche.
