What is amazing we are still trying to achieve these results today. I have been doing master copy painting myself and I see this is how we artists today are still trying into paint “loosely” using ” bravura” brush work.. These geniuses were so far ahead of many painting today. It took us centuries to try and reinvent the wheel. They people, men and women,en, were and still are the greatest artists of all time
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. One of my goals for this channel is to help enhance people's experience when they see fine art, so I'm pleased to read your comment!
It's nice to find an art history video that's actually about the art, and not the lives of the artists. The modern art world has completely dismissed technique and craft. Everything is all about context now.
Accidentally found this video when searching for Baroque artists for Art History class. This video helped me to understand how artists painted these wonderful masterpieces! Thank you for this video!
Jill.. I said so, a few years ago.. and I'll say again.. This is such a thing of beauty. To those who do not paint, it is an education of the senses. To those who do paint, it is a pilgrimage of the soul. To be inspired is to live in the moment. xxx.
By far the best tutorial on brush stroke! The fact that it is based on the history of painting techniques since the middle ages puts it way behond every other tuturial. Thank you so much Jill.
I've just stumbled on this series after watching some of the National Gallery Lunchtime talks. What a marvellous day! Thank you for making these talks.
Greatly enjoyed your series on brushstrokes. As a point of shared interest; there is a segment in an Andrew Dixon Graham video where he looks at a portrait painted by Rembrandt this is still hanging in its original location in a private house in Amsterdam and where its present owner discloses unscripted that Rembrandt had used his thumb to paint the series of buttons on the subject's jacket. A close up reveals Rembrandt's thumb print in the buttons.
Excellent...and now I look even closer when I go to museums to view the masters in person. I am a student artist and this is invaluable to me as an admirer of classic art and as a fledgeling artist. It has helped me immensely as I attempt to copy the work of the masters in order to learn techniques of shadow, line and blending. You have unlocked the mystery of how they employed the brush or palette knife and the mediums they had available to them. Thank you.
I didn't expect this to be EXACTLY what I wanted. I wanted a documentary explaining the specifics of how different paintings were made, but I thought this would be another boring art history lesson. This documentary is invaluable and I'm very very excited! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you. This video and others in the series are absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad that such materials even exist on UA-cam. What a time to be alive!
I paint in oils as a hobby and have watched a number of UA-cam videos, but I haven't come across one beforehand that I feel has increased my understanding (and overview) so much, so quickly. A significant number of ideas communicated clearly and absorbed enjoyably. Much appreciation from me!
Lovely presentation! I dare say many art students learned more in this short video than in a semester of their art school regarding the beauty, methods, skills, and most of all, the enduring power and magnificence of the masters' work of so many centuries ago!
Stumbled over this while on a search for an art related documentary to play in the background while doing some else - this was not it. I quickly put everything away and focused solely on this video, because it is excellent. Beautifully made, informative, with great examples... Exceptional. Thank you! I can only imagine how much research this must have took. This deserves a lot more views, and you have a new subscriber =)
Thank you so much, Hedwig Art. How wonderful to know that the video captured your attention (in a good way, of course) and that you benefited. Thank you for letting me know. And, yes...it took a about a year of research, but it was an enjoyable process.
I must also say that your production values are great. It helps that your voice sounds like you are trying to seduce the viewer a bit to fall in love with the art. Your passion shines through. It is obvious that you have spent many hours on each video. Kudos. Art is about communicating emotion; presenting a personal world view, a fleeting moment, a connection, a timeless harmony. You have hooked me with your attention to detail.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Christopher. I have indeed put many many hours into each project, but it's so worth it when I hear how they touch people. That means so much.
I love leaving brush strokes visible in my work. It goes with my theory that I want the view to never mistake my work for a photograph. Also I believe it gives the uninitiated insight to how it might have been made. Again, I love your videos.
I learned so much about art history from the perspective of techniques in your informative videos, than in 2 years I took in my studies of art and art history at a college of Art in Toronto. Thank you for such a well explained and beautifully displayed documentary. Yours truly, Alfredo.
Hello from Brazil! I'm so glad to find your channel, thanks for share with us your vision about art and help me to construct my own way. I'm not radical about art, I love all the movements, styles and techniques. In this moment I'm finding out my voice and I know that studying the past is fundamental to construct the future. Thanks for your amazing content!
You're very welcome, Marcos. I'm so glad you found it helpful. It truly does help us discover our own voices - to see what draws us and what we may want to incorporate into our own style.
There is more to artist's painting than meets the eye. In the case of artist's painting beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder but also in the eye of the painter, the technique of the painter, the patience of the painter, the paint, the canvas. Oh sorry I forgot to compliment this video! I'm not an expert but to me it seems to be well done.
I've seen a number of videos on art in its various forms, and the how's and why's, but I find Jill Poyerd's videos to be the best I've viewed. They fully explain the techniques used by artists in the various schools of painting, and give the viewer a better understanding of the historical progression of techniques. Informative and beautifully presented. Thank you, Jill Poyerd.
How beautiful - her voice, the music and such great description - just a joy - I am an artist who loves art history and learns so much from its study -thank you!
Thank you for this video. This is the best video I have found to learn about brush work and time period that this was used. I am GREATFUL to you for your knowledge an sharing your knowledge with us. Salute!
You're an excellent teacher and I, and so many others, really appreciate your knowledge and understanding to explain both the history and techniques of the masters. Thank ypu.
Awesome lesson, in just 15 minutes of pure content you can learn techniques that in most art history classes would go unnoticed or just classified vaguely without detailed examples.
All three parts are so well done! I never thought I would ever sort out the various nicknames given to artistic periods and styles. But you really did sort them out and not try to intimidate us! So give three cheers and one cheer more for the mighty Poyerd of Art World!
Thank you so much, Jaques! Very kind. Yes, I really think aspects of the art world can get convoluted. I enjoy trying to simplify the information but in an interesting and pleasant way.
I studied Affreso painting at IL Laboratorio per Affresco Di Vainella near Prato for 6 months. The school is wonderful and the best experience in my life. It is still running they have a website. All the best. You are a good teacher
Wow this is the first time I was so impressed by how much I learned in a video that I actually HOPED I could find more content and pay for it as well out of sheer gratitiude. I found your Udemy courses and as an artist who is highly in love with the work but has a very hard time actually getting around to practicing and experimenting, I am so very grateful that people like you are providing these resources which help to give the rest of us greater context and understanding so we can actually develop a sense of which direction we'd like to go. Thank you so much for all you invested putting this series together.
What a wonderful resource! As a professional artist & having studied the masters for decades, I still learned a LOT from this beautifully produced film. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for that encouragement, Barbara. Believe it or not, knowing people are enjoying them really does keep my motivation going. I am currently working on a new one, but a long way to go yet.
After studying arts at the academy of arts, and working with brushes in many years now, I am pleased to say that that was the best informative doc for painters I´ve seen so far: something to recommend. Thank You so very much.
I like many just fell upon this video and what a reward. You are amazing! I would love to load you up on coffee and walk through an art gallery with you and just listen as you tell me what you see. Your work I will follow, subscribe to, re-watch, take notes, make timelines and flash cards from. I am trying to teach myself art and am starved for knowledge on techniques and materials. I am not at a relaxed point- like a child trying to ride a bike I am giving it my all and am a jerky, out of control and struggling to remain upright. That is another story... At any rate, thank you.
You're very welcome, Nelson. What a poetically written comment! You must have some natural artistic talent, and I hope that some of what I produced will continue to inspire you in your pursuit. It will happen as you certainly sound like you have the will and the desire to learn.
Thank you for this superbly narrated and produced video. I learned more within the span of this video than trying to acquire the knowledge between several books.
Jill, i saw this amazing series last night when i was sick in bed from a cold. It calmed and inspired me. This morning after breakfast i applied for your brushstroke course on Udemy. It was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you
I'm so very pleased to know that it helped ease you through your cold (colds can be so miserable...) and that it has inspired you. How wonderful! I hope you enjoy the class as well.
I really cannot express how useful and insightful and fearless this video doc is to me. I have only recently started painting and my progress is slow, but it is astounding how much you can learn from art history, and I feel that using brush work as a flag ship for a the change and 'progression' in art is so effective. Thank you V much!
A fine presentation. Before I watched it, I thought I might be bored. Wow, was I wrong. I was fascinated and came to a new appreciation for oils, even though I am a watercolor artist. Marvelous information.
Superb, educational video. Bringing knowledge of the arts for all. I know virtually nothing of painting styles and artist history but this has been a great help. Thank you.
Who needs to go to art history at college? After this video, I feel like my mind had opened up to new art appreciation. You did in this one video what took my art history professor in a whole year. I will definitely watch your other videos now. New subscriber here :)
Toda mi vida como espectadora y como pintora se ve resumida en tu maravillosa descripción de las pinceladas, cada artista que mencionaste me llenaron los ojos en su momento y tú ahora los describes muy bien, Gracias!
When I watch one of your videos of art it is like the world stops around me and it gets my full attention My favorite is the Hudson River School Of Art period
wow! wow!! wow!!! I can't even start expressing how much I loved this! it's an amazing ride through art history with so many interesting aspects, ideas, suggestions, details. I loved this so much, it is so precious! thank you, this was truly enlightening!
I was so confused to determine my own style in painting...but have gone through many articles..tutorals..reports like this..and i am close..now i am almost sure in which way i should move ahead!
Amazing work. I've always avoided art history because I found so much of it unrelatable and in approachable. I dismissed it as boring but something bothered me and it's always been trying to get my attention. You have not only made it relatable and understandable, but enthralling. I want to spend time studying all of these greats, even those furthest removed from me. You've kindled a fire and I can think of no greater compliment for a teacher.
Superbly done and very instructive! So nice of you to take the time to create these wonderful videos. I've learned a great deal from your channel. Thank you!
Very informative and it is basic to know about the substance that one paints upon, as the starting point is the canvas or wood or perhaps paper. Academically oil is used for canvas work and here there is the aspect of surface primer. Thanks for replying to my last comments, you put the videos together quite well on the whole.
This is exactly what I have been seeking. I think I passed over this video feeling a little intimidated by the title The Early Masters. Now, I understand so much more about why I have always loved The Early Masters,and,didn't know why. Thank you so much for your informative, well presented video. Absolutely superb.
thank you. VERY Nice presentation. Factual. informative. good pace. great pronunciation. soft music in the background. Not disturbing. good match with the pace of voice over. VERY good use of captions to ensure KEYWORDS are clearly understood. Subscribed .
This was awesomely informative! As a photographer, I often try and use a defined mark to add a painterly feeling to my images, and this is just food for that idea to be carried further. Thanks for this!
You're so welcome, Scott. It sounds like you have a very interesting/creative way of individualizing your photography. That's wonderful and I'm so pleased if my video(s) were able to help you in some way.
I am amazed! I knew all of this, but it was presented to meticulously, easy and to the point that it was a great pleasure to watch it. Goes to my playlist for sure!
Came to this video series through your skillshare class - Mastering Brushstrokes.. This video was very informative, got to learn a lot, thanks Jill! Can't wait to study more through your skillshare classes.. 🤩
That's so nice to know! Welcome to my channel. You can see that I sometimes relate my classes to my UA-cam channel and visa-versa. I'm glad you're enjoying my classes!
Beautiful video, beautiful images, and beautiful voice! Thank you so much! This subject was a favorite of mine in my youth and still pops up to haunt me now. Thank you so much. Perhaps I will paint again.
Hi Jill, I do enjoy your videos. Especially the ones on composition. For Fresco, the artist has 6-8 hours to finish a section of the work because of the Carbonisation process. The Intonico is made up of sand and aged lime. when you paint onto this surface with pure pigment mixed with water, it takes 6-8 hours for this Carbonisation process to occur, after that it is too late to paint. The carbonisation process "marries" the sand, aged lime and pigment together to become "one" over the 6-8 hours. Then it dries accordingly depending on : The season , The grade of humidity in the wall and in the air , and the ventilation . Or other climatic factors for instance in Pompeii.the works are a lot thicker than in Florence because the Intonico needs to remain wet longer so that the Carbonisation process can occur. Then the work dries and becomes "one". If you paint on the intonico after this time, the pigment remains on the surface and doesn't "marry" with the sand and lime. Thus when the work is completely dry, the pigment can just fall off or be brushed off. It's a beautiful meditative process which tells you when to paint and when to rest.
A fresco (Italian for fresh) was a surface that was made before painting over this surface with tempera paint. I really appreciate this video, I learned a lot about styles evolving even in early painters.
Thank you, Joseph. From my research they just used paint mixed with water to apply the pigment onto the plaster - not egg (tempra). You may really like this video that explains and demonstrates Michelangelo's freak process: ua-cam.com/video/Cej4Ggq5nQI/v-deo.html
I just love imagining the people back then going through the motions of painting and perfecting their skills and working with teachers. Art is so universal, so timeless, like that of communication and leisure. I feel like art is a combination of both those things. Art is like the appreciation of life and it’s colours.
This is why the Internet exists, so informative that I will say I learned something today.
What a wonderful comment - I'm honored, Feng Jun. Thank you.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt You have a gift of conveyance...nice vid!
Such a rare thing though.
Very cool , thank you so much , we are lucky to have teachers like you, some average some good, you are good :)
Yes, the internet is very much like a huge library that never closes because it is open 24/7.
What is amazing we are still trying to achieve these results today. I have been doing master copy painting myself and I see this is how we artists today are still trying into paint “loosely” using ” bravura” brush work.. These geniuses were so far ahead of many painting today. It took us centuries to try and reinvent the wheel. They people, men and women,en, were and still are the greatest artists of all time
I'm a painter and all I've see in this video is more then half of all my study experience.Good work.
Good to know...Glad you enjoyed it
This is THE BEST series to cut-to-the-chase knowledge of painting's GOAT (Greatest of All Time). THANK YOU!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the series.
What a terrific art lesson in just 15 minutes! Now, I can enjoy oil paintings to a greater extent. Thank you for a wonderful video.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. One of my goals for this channel is to help enhance people's experience when they see fine art, so I'm pleased to read your comment!
It's nice to find an art history video that's actually about the art, and not the lives of the artists. The modern art world has completely dismissed technique and craft. Everything is all about context now.
I was actually surprised that this perspective hadn't been explored before...at least that I could find. Glad you enjoyed it!
Accidentally found this video when searching for Baroque artists for Art History class. This video helped me to understand how artists painted these wonderful masterpieces! Thank you for this video!
You're very welcome, moviemagic - glad it was helpful for you.
The voice of the narrator is Relaxing and full of peace ... ! Thanks for the formal analysis !
Jill.. I said so, a few years ago.. and I'll say again..
This is such a thing of beauty.
To those who do not paint, it is an education of the senses.
To those who do paint, it is a pilgrimage of the soul.
To be inspired is to live in the moment.
xxx.
Thank you so very much, Westcott Paul. How beautiful.
Jill's videos are quite possibly the absolute best there is on youtube. Thank you so much for making and sharing these.
I'm very honored by your comment, David - thank you so much. I'm very happy to create them.
By far the best tutorial on brush stroke! The fact that it is based on the history of painting techniques since the middle ages puts it way behond every other tuturial. Thank you so much Jill.
Thank you, Daniel. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
i keep coming back to this video every now and then. it's extremely useful and entertaining
I'm so glad you're enjoying it, saint gales
I've just stumbled on this series after watching some of the National Gallery Lunchtime talks. What a marvellous day! Thank you for making these talks.
I'm glad you enjoyed them, Cindy. It's my pleasure to produce them.
What a passionate and knowledgeable artist ...thanks for sharing this with all of us
Greatly enjoyed your series on brushstrokes. As a point of shared interest; there is a segment in an Andrew Dixon Graham video where he looks at a portrait painted by Rembrandt this is still hanging in its original location in a private house in Amsterdam and where its present owner discloses unscripted that Rembrandt had used his thumb to paint the series of buttons on the subject's jacket. A close up reveals Rembrandt's thumb print in the buttons.
Oh wow...I'd love to see this. Can you send a link or tell me the painting's title?
BBC series called High Art of the Low Countries with Andrew Dixon Graham
Excellent...and now I look even closer when I go to museums to view the masters in person. I am a student artist and this is invaluable to me as an admirer of classic art and as a fledgeling artist. It has helped me immensely as I attempt to copy the work of the masters in order to learn techniques of shadow, line and blending. You have unlocked the mystery of how they employed the brush or palette knife and the mediums they had available to them. Thank you.
That is so very rewarding to hear, Anne. It's feedback like that that makes what I do so worthwhile.
Jill- these videos are incredible. Thank you so much for your time and talent. It's such an honor to be able to view your work.
Thank you so much
Your paintings always create the aura of what you make .
I didn't expect this to be EXACTLY what I wanted. I wanted a documentary explaining the specifics of how different paintings were made, but I thought this would be another boring art history lesson.
This documentary is invaluable and I'm very very excited! THANK YOU SO MUCH
I’ve watched this so many times, and every single one I start crying out of sheer joy from all this beauty
I'm honored...
Amazing eh? Me too, searching for every grandmaster after on the net.
One of the best art documentaries on the internet
I'm so honored, Tadeo. Thank you!
Thank you. This video and others in the series are absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad that such materials even exist on UA-cam. What a time to be alive!

Thank you so much for that wonderful comment, Darren. It means a lot.
I am so in love with this series, such a fresh take on art history. I hate I just found it, but I am glad that I'm here.
Thank you, Margaret - I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I'm glad you found my channel.

I was almost choked (in a good overwhelming way ), artworks are so emotional, beautiful piece of documentation. So great to be learning from here.
Thank you, Supriya....that means a lot
Well done ! You came to the best channel to learn from ... !
I learned so much about art history from the perspective of techniques in your informative videos, than in 2 years I took in my studies of art and art history at a college of Art in Toronto. Thank you for such a well explained and beautifully displayed documentary. Yours truly, Alfredo.

What a wonderful resource! As a professional artist & having studied the masters for decades, I still learned a LOT from this beautifully produced film. Many thanks.
Beautifully created and inspiring. I put off my days painting to watch it twice.
I consider that a high compliment for sure! Glad you enjoyed it, Timothy. (Did you know there are two more parts?)
This video is wonderful and very informative. I'm showing part 1&2 to everyone I know...please continue to educate. People ARE listening. 🔥
Thank you so much for that encouragement, Barbara. Believe it or not, knowing people are enjoying them really does keep my motivation going. I am currently working on a new one, but a long way to go yet.
Awesome display! As a painter, it was very exciting to see this and remind me why I love these mediums so much.
That's so wonderful to hear, Todd. I love it when people feel inspired by the videos. Means a lot.

This is taking my breath away. I can't breathe!
Very useful! Thanks! Hope to lot of videos!!
I was so confused to determine my own style in painting...but have gone through many articles..tutorals..reports like this..and i am close..now i am almost sure in which way i should move ahead!
That's wonderful!
Fantastic commentator, so clear and informative. So easy to listen to. Thank you for a great presentation
Thank you - very glad you enjoyed it.
Great work!!! even better than my teachers of art history back in the 90`s. Thank you very much!!!
I like it very much. Great work Ms. Poyerd.
Thank you, Turntablez
@@JillPoyerdFineArt You're welcome Ms. Poyerd.
Very interesting. I love learning techniques and see how they changed over time
Congratulations on being awesome! your narration is informative and mesmerizing. Thank you. I look forward to watching your other videos Jill.
Thank you, SixMissing! That's so kind of you.
I am much more appreciative of fine art now that I started painting. I’m just blown alway by the detail on portraits.
Agreed. Such amazing talent.
Amazing work. I've always avoided art history because I found so much of it unrelatable and in approachable. I dismissed it as boring but something bothered me and it's always been trying to get my attention. You have not only made it relatable and understandable, but enthralling. I want to spend time studying all of these greats, even those furthest removed from me. You've kindled a fire and I can think of no greater compliment for a teacher.
What a wonderful comment, Jeremy. That really means so much. It's just what I would want someone to walk away with. Thank you for telling me.
Thank you for this video. Beautifully done. I learned a lot of painting terms and where the origin of them came into history. I am inspired.
Jill, I am happy to discover your channel! Thank you for putting this all together, I thoroughly enjoyed viewing and listening.
I'm so glad you've enjoyed the material, Michael
How did I miss your channel. You're a gift from god 🖤❤️🖤❤️
That's so sweet - thank you. Welcome to my channel!
Superbly done and very instructive! So nice of you to take the time to create these wonderful videos. I've learned a great deal from your channel. Thank you!
You're very welcome, MM - so glad you've enjoyed them!
I envy anyone who is able to paint as well as these maestros, remarkable, so engrossing & calmly therapeutic.
Very informative and it is basic to know about the substance that one paints upon, as the starting point is the canvas or wood or perhaps paper. Academically oil is used for canvas work and here there is the aspect of surface primer. Thanks for replying to my last comments, you put the videos together quite well on the whole.
Thank you, Norman
This is exactly what I have been seeking. I think I passed over this video feeling a little intimidated by the title The Early Masters. Now, I understand so much more about why I have always loved The Early Masters,and,didn't know why. Thank you so much for your informative, well presented video. Absolutely superb.
thank you.
VERY Nice presentation.
Factual. informative.
good pace.
great pronunciation.
soft music in the background. Not disturbing. good match with the pace of voice over.
VERY good use of captions to ensure KEYWORDS are clearly understood.

Thank you, John. I'm so glad you enjoyed it - appreciate the feedback.
This was awesomely informative! As a photographer, I often try and use a defined mark to add a painterly feeling to my images, and this is just food for that idea to be carried further. Thanks for this!
You're so welcome, Scott. It sounds like you have a very interesting/creative way of individualizing your photography. That's wonderful and I'm so pleased if my video(s) were able to help you in some way.
Very engaging presentation, I love art history and I love this video
Thank you, Zain - glad you enjoyed it!
I am amazed! I knew all of this, but it was presented to meticulously, easy and to the point that it was a great pleasure to watch it. Goes to my playlist for sure!
Came to this video series through your skillshare class - Mastering Brushstrokes..
This video was very informative, got to learn a lot, thanks Jill!
Can't wait to study more through your skillshare classes.. 🤩
That's so nice to know! Welcome to my channel. You can see that I sometimes relate my classes to my UA-cam channel and visa-versa. I'm glad you're enjoying my classes!
Beautiful video, beautiful images, and beautiful voice! Thank you so much! This subject was a favorite of mine in my youth and still pops up to haunt me now. Thank you so much. Perhaps I will paint again.
Oh it's very, very rewarding to hear that my videos may have inspired you to paint again, Greg. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Great content, it's like a class of history and painting techniques. Thanks!
You're very welcome, Nestor
It was such a pleasure to watch this documentary. Great information and extremely well chosen examples of painters and paintings.
Thank you, Nick - I appreciate that
Perfection! Excellent content, very informative and professionally recorded. Thank you!
You're very welcome, Arete
Just the nerdish video I needed! Thanks from Denmark.
What an excellent video! So informative and beautifully done. Thank you so much for creating this, Jill. I learned so much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jill, I do enjoy your videos. Especially the ones on composition. For Fresco, the artist has 6-8 hours to finish a section of the work because of the Carbonisation process. The Intonico is made up of sand and aged lime. when you paint onto this surface with pure pigment mixed with water, it takes 6-8 hours for this Carbonisation process to occur, after that it is too late to paint. The carbonisation process "marries" the sand, aged lime and pigment together to become "one" over the 6-8 hours. Then it dries accordingly depending on : The season
, The grade of humidity in the wall and in the air
, and the ventilation
. Or other climatic factors
for instance in Pompeii.the works are a lot thicker than in Florence because the Intonico needs to remain wet longer so that the Carbonisation process can occur. Then the work dries and becomes "one". If you paint on the intonico after this time, the pigment remains on the surface and doesn't "marry" with the sand and lime. Thus when the work is completely dry, the pigment can just fall off or be brushed off. It's a beautiful meditative process which tells you when to paint and when to rest.
A very educated response - thank you
Your presentation's are extremely helpful and seem very professional. Thank you.
I'm very glad you find my work helpful, Shiva.
A fresco (Italian for fresh) was a surface that was made before painting over this surface with tempera paint. I really appreciate this video, I learned a lot about styles evolving even in early painters.
Thank you, Joseph. From my research they just used paint mixed with water to apply the pigment onto the plaster - not egg (tempra). You may really like this video that explains and demonstrates Michelangelo's freak process: ua-cam.com/video/Cej4Ggq5nQI/v-deo.html
Great, informative video! You can really tell when it's done by a knowledgable working artist.
Thank you - that means a lot
I just love imagining the people back then going through the motions of painting and perfecting their skills and working with teachers. Art is so universal, so timeless, like that of communication and leisure. I feel like art is a combination of both those things. Art is like the appreciation of life and it’s colours.
How beautifully put, Skysurfer
