An Artist's Evolution 

This is a beautifully made video! Thank you. Also-the quick glimpse you gave us of your own paintings was a nice surprise. Your work is stunning!

Since you brought up health being a factor in an artist’s change of style, it reminded me of Edgar Degas who’s art changed a lot in his later years due to his failing eyesight. Not only did his style become more abstract with blurred forms and pastel colour, but he also used larger canvases that would have supported his limited field of vision. He also eventually turned to sculpting which would rely more on sense of touch.

I love it when you discuss the brush strokes. Both his earlier and later works are inspiring. Thank you!

Thanks for introducing me to Wyant

What's frustrating as an artist is social media strongly encourages you to always make the same thing. Evolving & experimenting is not encouraged

Inness said it best..."Art is not to instruct or edify...but to awaken an emotion."

What a magnificent simple so expressive explanation and comparison, thank you very much for sharing this beautiful experience you really make me able to read paintings.

I learn so much listening to you analyze artists, styles, & techniques. I really enjoy these so much. Thank you

I too had several strokes at 37 years of age. I lost the use of my dominant hand almost entirely, but slowly over time have somewhat regained its use. I have lost my ability to write consistently and legibly, however i can still paint with astonishing accuracy to my intention. Better than before in fact, due to the temporary paralysis qwelling my prior tendencies of unsteadiness. I also believe that my strokes affected the area of the brain associated with writing coordination, but left the parts associated with visual reproduction alone. Lucky me. Now I'm mostly disabled, save for my most cherished ability. Nothing to do now but paint until the sands have all fallen.

Thanks Ms Poyerd: another excellent video!! I love the landscapes of the American Luminists (Church, Kensett, Gifford …) and Wyant's painting fits well with them. The way they capture the light, and their poetic drama, is truly awesome. I admire the painterliness of Wyant's other painting, but the foreground is much too fragmented for my taste (the rest is brilliant, though). It's also worth noting that Inness is considered by many (myself included) to be one of the five best landscape painters EVER!!

If you go to Bright Angel point at the Grand Canyon the sunset makes colors like this sunset. Every single hue shows up

Wonderful presentation! Was unaware of this gentleman's work. The light in that sunset painting is mind boggling. As is the extraordinary sky in the other example. One silly point: would Mr. Wyant have shaken hands with another artist in the manner depicted? That looks like a 21st Century handshake to me. (I'm old. I still shake hands the way they did in the 1950"s. My sons-in law have had to deal with it.). Thank you, Jill. Love your work.

Your channel is wonderful. Its content is didactically relevant and very interesting. Thank you for your videos and for the initiative to create this channel. I wish prosperity and longevity to your channel and your endeavors. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.

Your videos are beautiful - thank you

Any minute thing of life and/or surroundings can make an artist create art different from previous. I guess, that's why they are naturally very sensitive and it may be necessary for creation.

I would like a video about the lady Jane grey painting please

Such a beautiful and expressive presentation (As always)! Thank you so much! I was thinking for a while now at change of technique, let's say the evolvement of an artist, and you've got it spot on! BTW, love the artist too!

His latter style is incredible. Aside from Gustave Courbet, which are the other two artist you mentioned he took after? I love getting introduced through new artists with your videos.

Holaaaaa 😊😊😊. Dónde estás???😮😮😮 Extrañamos tus excelentes videos!!!! 😢😢😢 ❤😊😊😊😊

Two very fine paintings ! Are they both acrylic? Since I trained as a picture restorer many decades ago, my own output has been in oils only and these are typical of scenes I appreciate and try to emulate.

Thanks

what amases me about the amsters is the sheer determination of keeping at it for so many years. I understand that for some of them this is a profession but creative output is limited for so may of us. Not for them though

Where can I see demonstrations of your work as an artist? not a theory of art, but your practice of painting. Give link pls

Unfortunately, the inclusion of modern, non-art images (e.g. hospital bed) detracts greatly from your usual high standard of editing.
