- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Monday! You know what that means, New Week, New Theme! We continue this week with some of the vibes we uncovered from last week - the presentation of the object of Art. Today Dani is proudly exhibiting one of our fave pieces that we've been lucky enough to purchase. It's a found piece of wood turned SpongeBob by the awesome Javi Morales. We ADORE Javi's work and in today's vid we get the chance to discuss the difference between the way we live with a work of art we admire as opposed to an investment that is kept in a vault inside the freezer with the hopes of becoming almighty powerful ART. We'll be talking about this today while also concentrating on this week's theme which we've titled ZORN +1. We've invited a new color to the Zorn palette. Sacrilege!!! Will everyone get along??? Will the four accept the newcomer??? Watch today's episode to find out! (Spoilers, yes, yes they will, pigments are not prejudiced like us).

When I was a HS kid (1974) my local museum, Detroit institute of Art, acquired its first Caravaggio. I'd never hear of the artist. Soon after it was displayed someone jammed a pencil through it. They objected to the $1 million pricetag, when people in Detroit were living in poverty. The whole incident was a big consciousness-raising event for me: who was Caravaggio and why was he an important painter? What made the picture worth $1m? Why were Detroiters living in terrible poverty? (I was raised in upper middle class comfort.) As you discussed why art is precious, and why anyone would destroy it, this all came back.
I love your traditional palette. Ive been working in acrylic after a lifetime of oil painting with a limited palette, and I'm overwhelmed by all the 'candy colors' - and I dont know how to handle them. I had to search high & low to find a REAL alizarin in acrylic (Utrecht, M Graham). apparently the latest UV varnishes will prevent fading of the real alizarin lake. Zorn has always bugged me because no blue. Fine for a portrait painter, maybe. but not for landscape. I'm loving the icey bismuth yellow. I'll replace my cad lemon with that.
“That’s why putting a color into a palette, inviting a new color, seems like such a big choice...because it is. It’s suppose to feel like this big event. It’s something that is important to your painting practice. It’s something that could change your painting practice. (11:23) ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed as usual. Going to have to buy me some Bismuth yellow. Cute that Dani likes Sponge Bob. Thanks for today!
It's wonderful to circle back to basics - to understand the issues of adding just one color to your palette. Thank you. I"m challenged with a current project that is only black and white.
I FEEL SO BLESSED TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL THANK YO SO MUCH FOR WONDERFUL TUTORIAL THIS WILL REALLY HELP ME AS A BEGINNER 💗
incredible insight - thank you.
Are you familiar with Winsor & Newton Blue Black? it's a chromatic Black. Bluer than Ivory Black but not as powerful as Prussian or Pthalo Blue. It's a wonderful color. It's more versatile than Ivory Black. it opens up more options on the warm green spectrum, but can still hold its own where you need the deep dark values that Ivory Black presents.
I like indanthrone blue which has a dark mass tone but a nice subtlety to its hue when tinted
Gracias
Bob Esponja (a la) Rothko!!! jejejeje :P

I didn’t see a single painting of Bacon 🥓
Blue cheese.
I have a tube bismuth yellow from Rembrandt, I really don’t like it. Paint’s hue is much more pale and a bit more cooler than cadmium lemon, but less opaque. I prefer my cool yellow paints to be as much as opaque it can be whereas bismuth yellow has a really low covering power and tinting strength compared to cadmium lemon, also they are in the same price group.
Yeah, modern pigments lack the opacity of traditional ones, which were all toxic-- lead tin yellow, orpiment, Naples yellow, etc. Cadmium colors are pretty good in opacity but still less than the traditional ones. And cadmium is still pretty toxic if one should happen to ingest it.
So...modern painters have to find workarounds. We have abundant colors, but they're more pure, more intense, finer grind, and much less opaque than historical paints. Part of the problem is that the paint manufacturers get their pigments from the same big chemical companies like BASF which make pigments for industrial use.
There are some small batch makers and we're starting to see some toxic pigments being sold on Etsy. They're getting them from India and China. Things like vermilion (mercuric sulfide), lead sulfide, lead oxide, and lead tin or lead antimony yellow. It's available. But be very careful if you make your own paint.
Great work but too much talking 😅
Maybe people see art something similar to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, which are supposed to be used as money to buy things but are mostly purchased as an investment to hoard in your cave like a dragon, forgetting the point and ruining for the people who actually remember it's actual value.
