Katsushika Hokusai- Understanding Modern Art 

I'd say that was an interesting place to be stationed, thanks for the comment!

Arts Hole It was.

Also influence on Matisse, I think.

Glad I could help!

An episode on paint colours sounds like a great idea, as for modern Prussian blue the colour quality can vary wildly by manufacturer. When it comes to paint there's a big difference between artists quality and the more commonly available standard quality paints you'll find in most art shops so that might explain some of the difference.

Cheers!

Glad you liked it, happy to make them if people enjoy them

@@theartshole311 Any thoughts on john constable? He's been a sort of guilty pleasure for so long. I'd love to see you're take on it.

I'm a bit of a fan of Constable myself, there's a few of his pieces in the Hugh lane Gallery in Dublin I've been admiring for years and I love landscape painting from that era in general, especially Turner. So yes I will definitely do one one on him, could be a while though. Will be doing a few bits on Romanticism some time soon so might cover a bit of his work then.

Thank you very much!

That's great, glad to hear it was useful!

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

You're very welcome

Only vaguely familiar with the whole Fate thing, think I saw a couple of episodes of the anime many years ago. Is Hokusai a character in it or something? A historical battle royal featuring painters from across centuries is something I never knew I wanted until now

@@theartshole311 no Fate grand order is way different than the anime, ok the anime mostly covers the stories behind many of the characters seen in fate grand order. Just think of fate grand order as a fighting game like street fighter and mortal Kombat, but this time it adds characters that where either in the original anime or not. Fate is a complex series because it isn’t like other anime where their is multiple series. It’s like tolkein for example Lotr comes right after the hobbit but then theirs books and games that take place after or before Lotr. So its basically like that because the anime series fate mentions allot of charcters and things that are never shown in the anime because the informations is so long and complex. So that’s why they fate grand order, the only problem is some charcters are rare to get so your going to be purchasing allot of quartz and once you get that rare character you’ll find out why. But to answer your question no the series isn’t necessarily in order, just like history itself you can’t just type medieval times and expect to get all information about the Middle Ages. This is the same thing with fate not every single information is connected and even if they were it still isn’t the same. Anyway I highly suggest you get into the series I think it’s the best anime series ever especially the music is just amazing it’s like a better version of all of those famous jrpgs final fantasy, Zelda, and so much more. Also after you watch the animes play fate grand order eventhough it will be a pain in the ass at first, but eversince aniplex owns fate grand order they have been making these special events to get the cool characters. Theirs still a few I’m missing and I hope I will get them in the future.

@@theartshole311 lastly to answer your question about Hokusai, their are allot of characters that were never seen in the anime as I know of. For example Abigail Williams, Hokusai, Tomoe Gozen, Okita Souji and so much more. I haven’t done research about these characters because it’s a pain in the ass but if I would have to guess maybe it’s a character that they added here which they would later put on in the other fate animes. Yeah I’ve only seen fate stay night and apocrypha. No she isnt and Hokusai and many historical characters in fate are female for some odd reason, no she isnt a fighter shes just a character heres an example of what i mean. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uHbYlZm42uk.html You see the reason why lots of the male historical figures are females is because of the fan service this is why they made stuff like fate/protype which is a novel series where Saber is supposed to be male and Shirou the main character is supposed to female but named something else amazing series but see what i mean. I like this idea of making the characters female because for example Atilla the hun is female in here however she isnt your evil psycopathic killer anymore thats why shes named Altera because its sound of a heroic name than Atilla.

Thanks, I will of course be covering those topics in due time, Neoclassicism will be coming up soon
