Welcome! I'm Anastasia. I'm an artist who loves creating on silk, other textiles & mediums - and sharing it with All of You. Oh and art history is life - can't live without it! www.oursforall.com
Hi Anastasia, you really hit a home run with this documentary on Rembrandt. I love how you included the technical aspects of his, his early life, love life and his influence on the art movements well into the future. Are you planning on creating another documentary soon? I can give some suggestions of some really interesting artists I love through history such Rossetti. Anyway, thank you again for being you.
Hey!! Yes!! Just finishing up another project (not art related) and as soon as that’s all done, I’ll get started on the next artist video :) hopefully in August 🥳 Thanks so much for reaching out! I appreciate it so much. I’ll check out Rossetti
Hey! Yeah I had to go to Home Depot and luckily they have a saw there - so I grabbed whatever wood I needed, and I cut them there and just put some nails through it (but now my corners are just taped with masking tape 😅) haha
Hey!! Thanks for watching this one and catching it. At 7:13 I’m starting to talk about the next sequence that goes a little further into the rule of five-eighth so 0.625 and it becomes a slightly different square arrangement on the page.
Interesting video! I've heard about the golden ratio before, but never knew it had such a deep mathematical foundation. Do you think incorporating the golden ratio into art compositions is essential for creating visually appealing work, or is it just one of many techniques artists can use?
Hey!! Thanks for watching this one :) honestly, it’s just one of many tools in the toolbox is how I see it … some people only use it and say it’s the only way - but I don’t see it that way …
A fascinating talk , thank you. All of the women he painted are absolutely beautiful. I haven't watched your programme before but can assure you I'll be back. ! from Cape Town, South Africa
I've always been charmed and persuaded by the beauty of the golden ratio. But as I grow older, it seems more and more that this is more of a projected notion than actual correlation in many art-related cases that do not attribute to geometry in nature. For instance, many of the art pieces in this segment have the golden ratio slapped onto them to emphasize the pattern being reflected in the painting. But there is nothing that couldn't just be put anywhere and have the same fit if you choose to believe it. Is this really a valid notion, or is it, as I wrote earlier, just another reminder that humans are so inclined to detect patterns that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy? Thanks for upload.
Hey! Yeah I do agree with you that the spiral can be put on top of anything and we just say that “this is how it was supposed to be”, but in my personal interpretation with art in this case - I do think that we do try to explain everything and justify and pattern…. in case of this video, I really just wanted to show what this might look like and if you’d like to try to use it - it can be one tool of many to experiment with.
This was wonderful, I fell in love with Hogarth when I saw his work in Edmonton. I'm researching about him, that exhibition left a big impact on me, and my early mid-life crisis 🤭💐
Hey! Are you talking about the exhibition that just happened this past fall 2023? I saw it too (the video was already done, so I couldn’t include my feelings on the exhibition) - but I agree it was so well done!!! Thanks for coming by and watching this video as well :) yeah his work is pretty grand and has so much weight behind it
Tysm! I've been trynna learn about it since I'm kinda stupid when it comes to maths so everything google said just confused me further but thanks again for explaining it :D
This is a great series- I am wondering about a few more things - about how to finish this painting- do you iron it out? What types of brushes and where to get supplies?
Hey! Thanks so much for watching! For a silk painting- I don’t wash it or iron it - I simply let it be as is (for a silk scarf - I iron and wash it). The paints are archival - so the painting will be fine without being ironed or washed (from my experience). I have taken out the painting in the past and did iron and wash it and then put it back on the frame. It’s honestly up to you what you wanna do with it when it’s done
Thanks for answering- I am looking around for a class as I would like to ask questions, etc...I saw that at one point you were teaching out of the Paint Spot...are you teaching?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral#/media/File:GoldenSpiralLogarithmic_color_in.gif I found this ongoing spiral in a square - I think you can fit the spiral into a square using it. Hope this helps ! It'd be neat to try
Hi Anastasia, I believe this is one of the very best documentaries of Ingres' work that I have ever seen. I am a lifelong painter and discovered Ingres' work when I was in college; His work changed the direction of my painting from that moment on. You have a new subscriber and I am eager to view your other videos. Thank you again!
Thank you so very much for that Anastasia, I am so honored that you subscribed to my channel !!! Looking forward to all of your new and prior videos! @@OursForAll
And just like the Fibonacci code this is a reoccurring independently occurring in a unrelated, independent mathematical reoccurrence with synchronicity. I know I probably didn’t say that right, but you know what the fuck I mean. If you can quantify it over and over again you might know what will occur in the future or how nature works and essentially that is science. If you can re-create it over and over again get the same numbers you’ve just conceptualize a new law and physics. maybe you could create one of these things. I didn’t know I could sing. I’m pretty sure I could sing pretty well at this point. But I never believed that I could so I never tried it. Now I know that I have the Bility to do things the others cannot. You should test your own nuts comfortably in your own time because maybe you could do something to help all of us.
Is this viedo about Ingres, or, yourself, Anastasia? Your 'image' consumes every shot and takes over about 2/3rds of the screen! We know you may love Ingres---but give us a 'break'!!!
I disagree. There is so much content (especially on art) that is almost complete AI. It’s great to see a person engaging the audience. I wouldn’t change it. Most of us can Google the images.
Hey Joel :) thanks so much for letting me know - yeah I agree, when I get back to creating these art videos again - I’ll keep myself talking there for sure 😊
Glad to see you take my advice in the constructive way it is given! You have a good speaking voice and I would recommend appearing initially on the video and afterwards simply give a 'voice over'. Apologies if I sounded in any offensive . Carry on making videos---especially lesser known artists, which needs addressing on the Internet. @@OursForAll
Garbage. She is in front of EVERY PAINTING! Not about the art...it is only about the talking head standing in FRONT of the paintings so you can't see them.
So it's not my intent to demean you or criticize you but to offer my frank critique. I applaud your intent and effort. The subject matter is appealing and your video is possibly educational and informative and I clicked on it to watch and learn something about a subject of interest to me. But alas, I could not watch it and closed it less than half way through. Your bouncing back and forth from shot to shot and the hand waving is very distracting as is standing in front of, and blocking, the photograph examples. My suggestion- Perhaps you could try again and this time give your opening with a shot of yourself and then just do voice-over the picture examples and then another short of yourself at closing. Regards.
Agreed. Hand waving and blocking views of paintings, VERY distracting. She never leaves the screen. I laughed every time she said Renoir and emphasized the ending "R". But the funniest was when she said the Franco Prussian war (she didn't use that common term) "scattered" the impressionists; this was especially true of Bazille, as he was scattered all over the battlefield (sadly for art).
Great presentation and such a coincidence because I found a Hogarth painting ( looks like an engraving) and the title is The Lottery. Have you heard of this one? If so, can you tell me what year it was created? There isn’t a date. I found it at a thrift store for 4 dollars so maybe it will bring me luck… LOL, thanks again for sharing your knowledge ❤❤!!!
Hey! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words - I really appreciate it I’ve never heard of the piece Lottery - but it is pretty amazing that you found it - like WOW!!!
tbh this dosn't make sense AT ALL the things you show (like the monalisa) can be draws without this goden ratio since the monalisa don't even have a prespective point and its a straight view draw it feels pretty much like people (not just you) are forcing this spiral shape on anything on that logic everything can be made out triangle circles whatever
Very good video on one of my favorite painters! I love the way you speak about the art. Thanks for the pronunciation of his name. (I was so far off) Keep up the good work.
