I have to thank you so much for demonstrating a landscape for us. I’ve watched you for a couple of years now and love your teaching but I am a landscape painter… So I had difficulty transferring what you were teaching in still life.
I really loved everything you did here. I’d love to see more. Love your channel.
👍 Always love watching a painting being done. Talk about the artist curse... I sold a commissioned portrait for the most I'd ever been paid. That was 3 months ago; and I still feel like giving them their money back and taking the painting back. I feel like I cheated them.
How so?
Love this style of painting. Your comments about the artist curse resonates, all I see are problems in my paintings and other people like them.
always appreciate the painting videos, thanks! I've legitimately learned a lot
This video is filled with so much information and nuance; love to watch your demos many, many times!
the artist's curse is very real. there's always a moment during the painting where you feel there's no hope then it always comes together but never really scratches that itch. i hang a picture up where i'll see it every day and eventually one day the appreciation clicks in your mind
Fantastic videos/demos, not only aesthetically beautiful and a pleasure to watch but also full of great painting lessons. Thank you so much!
This is the best landscape I've seen you do.
Fascinating to hear how you immerse yourself in your paintings. I do the same! Speaking more generally, many people owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude Mark.
Mark would have to be one of the best artists on UA-cam. And, as you say, he is exceptionally generous
Exactly correct! Ole Bobby Ross was a completely different style but was living in each and everyone of his paintings while he was painting it. That is soo much a key! You become your painting. As Bob would say….. ‘it’s your world’ He would create his world. His art wasn’t that great but he had the heart of a true artist!
As you also have the heart and soul of a true artist!!
You are an inspiration. Your channel has meant the world to me.
A very honest approach describing your past issues with painting and present.
That is like a true Irish landscape painted in America, this is my kind of art it's outstanding, I hope you do more of them, cheers from Ireland.
I love your videos and could watch you paint for hours, it gives me the drive to keep on trying, and painting is a form of meditation for me. I learn so much from your videos, Thank you!
Thank you so much! I loved watching this! Especially your paint mixing , the paint fluidity & the tree♥🙏🌈 & paint strokes!
I really enjoyed your demo, Mark. Not only was it extremely helpful to follow your working, it was so reassuring to hear your honesty , humility and vulnerability regarding your artistic journey. Your work is beautiful.
Also, as an admirer of Arthur Streeton myself, I can highly recommend the superb (and big fat) book 'Streeton' by Wayne Tunnicliffe, with many beautiful colour reproductions and an exhaustive and fascinating text. Well
worth the price. He truly was one of our great Australian artists, who completely understood the light down here.
I grew up in Maine in the early 70s. It was Christina's World everywhere for me. Made a huge impact on me.
Beautiful place to grow up! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful painting .Thanks for the demo.
It's a pleasure seeing you paint and sharing your techniques and thoughts honestly. I've learned so much with your videos. I am glad you are painting and doing stuff that you enjoy more now, and that serves so many of us so well. I like your view of what art is. Thank you
The point you made about having a level of empathy with/for what you are painting really resonated with me. It often influences my brushstrokes, colour, form and values. I too am a Streeton admirer and am lucky enough to live here in Sydney where the art gallery has a number of his works.
The art gallery in Armidale, up in the hills from Sydney, have a number of Streetons as well. Make a trip sometime :)
For me it's tonalism and it's beautiful especially with these colors, thank you !
Love watching you paint landscapes. So interesting hearing you discuss Artist's Curse, I find the same when I paint, but when I look at it months later I can really see it. Love Geneva ground color and oil paints, they do stay wet much longer than regular oils, very buttery too and easy to paint without having to mix medium, paint glides on.
Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge and experience... I have learned a lot on your channel and I love the Geneva oil paint... Great quality!!!.. Thank you.
Thank you so much Mark this has been a truly inspirational video! your honesty about your journey. i am self taught from joining an art group no tutoring and picking up every scrap of information i can from them and video's like yours ! I suffer from all you mentioned and it hit home when you said about how people starting paying you. that's much the same for me so i thought oh well best keep going then 😅 i keep all the work i love except commission's obviously and sell any others i can. thanks again
I'd like to hear the deep dive story leading up to painting the president and the process of doing that's how much they pay for that, meeting them after or if ya got to go to the white house ect.
I haven't seen you for so long...like the beginning of the covid years. Have you been away or was it just me? Anyway, I was happy to see you today and loved your treatment of this landscape. Thank you. I love your honesty, being willing to reveal your inner self - it means a lot to hear such truth in art work. Thank you for that also. Hope wife is fine too.
There have been quite some uploads during the last three years, just check the video tab on the channel?
Well, he said he would upload a lot more during covid. But he didn’t. He was more sporadic than ever during that year, but he has uploaded since then. I guess he just prefers quality over quantity.
You are so humble. I have learned so much from you. Thank you sir
Thank you so much for talking about the "artist curse". I have this with almost every painting I do and am already doing all these different things ( turning paintings around, taking pictures and changing them etc. ) but it's complicated. Often when I am 80% done with my paintings I leave them to "get back to them later" but never do. It's a real issue for me. I hope I'll overcome it one day. Beautiful landscape. thank you.
Absolutely beautiful
great demo.. thanks
Your awesome Mark...Thanks.
fine piece,thanks
Thank you so much!
Nice!
Glad to see you still posting content sir!! Big fan from yearrrrs ago 🎉❤ please post vlogs too. Can’t wait to purchase some Geneva colors soon.
Loved this video. I'm Australian and Streeton is my favourite Artist I have seen many of his work up close. I'm also a big fan of Singer-Sargent.
Just discovered your channel. I love your videos. They are so informative. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge :)
Beautiful...
Good video Mark for ratio of location! Like Tree or Mount!
I'm way behind on watching this video, and I've really enjoyed it. Wonderful to see your brushwork and subtle color and value mixes. It was curious to me that you did so much on the ground/ foreground without having sketched in any of the sky or background. Clearly, you made it all work wonderfully, but it is different that the process that I've seen in many others. Thanks for putting this video together.
Gorgeous painting and I like how moody it is
You are throwing alot of good suff out here. Thank you!
great stuff here. Alot of the old landscape painters would have blotted out some of the burnt umber in parts of the tree and weaved in the dark greens and lighter greens. leaving some warm transparency.
Love it!…
Beautiful
lovely presenting style
Some times when I paint I have to leave it for a couple of days then come back and continue and things go good again ,and sometimes if I go somewhere where they have some of my paintings hanging on the wall and I haven’t seen them for a long time I feel like it’s someone else’s painting and I like them .but I have been following you on UA-cam for a number of years and you have talked about it before so I don’t worry about it 👍
Yes....more videos please...
beautiful
I will start a piece, woodworking, painting, drawing, stone sculpture, wood carving, etc. with great interest. By the time I finish (if I do) I hate the piece and think it crap. I generally get good comments about the ones I finish although I disagree. So, my biggest challenge is to have the patience to ignore my own opinion and actually finish what I start. I love your landscape paintings and comments. Although I see a lot of universality in your landscapes, I can't help but to think Texas (although not Texas cliche) when I see them and that is of particular interest to me.
Me gusta mucho su tecnica ,gran sencillez ,y resultado espectacular..seguire alguno de sus bocetos,ya que el tema de la mayoría son de mi preferencia, campo, praderas ,colinas etc..
Hello Mark, I already missed seeing you paint, I loved it as always. Too bad it's so hard to get your paints in Portugal. I haven't been able to. Hug.
The _married_ painter's curse; "trees aren't that color," "you shouldn't try painting people," "did you WANT it to look like that?"
Then when it's done, "You're not selling that, I'm keeping it."
I have gone through this EXACT scenario several times! 😂😂😂
@@heavydelta7615 lol been there too!!
Really nice painting Mark. I love the restraint. Landscapes are beautiful to my eye when there is no hyper-light effect which is often taught. Landscape paintings to me shouldn’t look like landscape photos.
Thanks
Lovely work and advice. Good to see the ‘juicy’ texture of the paint. Really frustrated that you won’t ship to England, Iemailed your company, but as yet, no reply.
Yeah totally, it’s hard to love your own work. I feel it’s like; liking your own voice. Do you think people that like their own work like their own voice? Haha well, but to judge your own work, I feel useful to use a mirror or your phone a mirror the picture. It’s the only way I found to have a kind of fresh eye look at your own work. Thank you for your video Mark
Hello, Mark. Love your landscapes. Commission work is work. Not only you get burnt out but you start losing your "artistic soul", for a lack of a better term, similarly to the protagonist of The Portrait by Nikolai Gogol (a great short story about an artist you would definitely enjoy reading☺)
Can you point me to your episode for priming the canvas and color. Always liked doodling on brown craft paper.
Mark have you seen the movie Tim’s Vermeer, and if so, what do you think of the camera Lucida technique he describes, checking colours by making them seamless against a mirror reflecting the image you’re painting. It seems similar to your colour checking method. Do you see it as a viable painting method?
What is the name of the software you use for the imagines and also what’s the filter you apply for the image to make it look more like a painting. Thank you so much
which type of canvas do you use? what is the primer?
You must love Constable.
🙏🙏🙏
What kind of yellow and red are you ising?❤
My surprise? You painted the tree than the landscape. I would have done the opposite. Living and learning..
curious why the forum has been out of commission for so long. Is it permanently gone?
What level of subscription on mid journey to create the source image?
By milky, do you mean mud? Where can one find your Geneva paints in California?
Is your painting considered a tonalist painting?
I remember in one landscape painting demo Mark commented that "scale is everything" in landscape paintings. I wonder if you can "trust" AI to get the scale right in an image?
💕💯🎨🎨🎨
How big is this canvas?
Interesting that you embrace A.i for use in traditional oil painting. With the knowledge that you have about landscape art, I'm surprised you would rely on reference from an algorithm...?
Mark could you talk more about colour relativity ?
All my work is crap when I paint it, it only gets better 6 months after I haven't looked at it because it's in a closet.
What's happening with your store? All the products are disappearing!
I have so much difficulty in generating an image in Midjourney. No clue what I am doing clearly!
Excellent copy of a copy
People that seat all the time doing
something and feed their brains
with computer images, lose the
touch with nature.
Just shake it off ... a shower,
haircut, change clothes and travel
somewhere and experience real landscape.
Do not became a robot like human.
Breathe fresh air ...
As a painter, I always find it strange, and even uncomfortable, to watch others paint. This is because everything about the process is so different from my own ways of working. The applies to all aspects, from the initial compositional strokes, to the brushwork and manner of handling brushes and applying paint, and even in the laying and mixing of colors on the palette. There are certainly things I like about the final result in this landscape, but I think it can be improved by more limitation of what I deem the overuse of white in color mixtures, and also maybe a more energetic direct application as opposed to what strikes me as "slowly filling in areas". I also find that this paint appears too loose or too oily and thin, at least for my taste. Still, it's not a bad landscape, just not quite my cup of tea.
[Edit]: This video popped up again in my feed, and I felt instantly compelled to add a thought that bothered me greatly the first time around. And this is that I must take strenuous objection regarding the use of greens here. There exist truly incredible types of green pigments which have the potential to make miraculous statements in painting. There are a wide variety of special greens, some deeply pigmented, some cool and pale, some semi-transparent, and many that the eye and soul caress meaningfully and even mysteriously in a hypothetical painting. And yet, no such greens are used here. Instead, we see rather bland, muted and browned mixtures made largely and simply from over-oily blue and yellow. Yes, paintings can be done using a restricted palette, but I think this manner does a disservice to the potential of the final artwork. So the avoidance of real and purer green pigments is one of a number of things that stand out to me as detriments to what I see achieved here. The art of painting is of limitless potential. There are so many aspects worthy of insight and discussion. I suppose I am one who feels that simply achieving an acceptable product to be sold is not quite a full realization of the real challenge of creative art, where hopefully a dash of genius is needed to raise it above the ordinary.
@@verydrunkcat HAHA! I was thinking along the same lines when I quit reading this blather halfway in. "Someone thinks quite highly of their own opinion to type so many run-on sentences!" This is a very good sign of a narcissist - watches someone else perform a skill they also perform and it makes them "uncomfortable" because they don't do it the same. Please, for the sake of the internet, get over yourself.
As a painter I would be horrified if other painters painted the same way as me, or only in styles that I favoured
@@heavydelta7615 Verbose perhaps, but not "run-on sentences". The sentences were properly formed and stated. I could have cut through all the helpful analysis and simply said that is not a very good painting. Then, of course, I would have been attacked for not supplying any reasons. Plus, I never criticized this artist for not painting the way I do. All that is in your head. But I did give a number of reasons why this painting is so limited in success. I would suggest to you to perhaps take English 101 to learn what a run-on sentence is.
@@jakecavendish3470 I suppose that comment was directed to me. I never asked this artist to paint the way I do or in styles I favor. I merely offered a number of reasons why this painting is not as good as it could be.
@@KpxUrz5745 I have no idea who you are
Too many sky holes on the tree in my opinion. no more then 3 or 4 is all you need. check out george inness's trees if you dont believe.
I don’t think you can call this a painting, it’s more of an oil sketch. Your arguments for the unresolved approach doesn’t hold for me, everything craves resolution, particularly successful art, from music to painting.
I guess you have poor reading skills, its a DEMONSTRATION not something for a museum or a gallery.
Can anyone tell me what has happened to the DMP web site??? I and log onto the site, but can no longer access the artists forum portion of it. Says it is undergoing maintenance. But it has been like this for weeks . . . or months.
