Really nicely explained! And stunning result. Also very nicely drawed Selfportrait. This really comes very close to JM Basquiat. Would be nice to see the whole painting.
That's a nice and concise lesson, thanks! The finishing touches in white really elevated the whole portrait! Guess I'm gonna use the showcased techniques but make my painting more symbolic instead of a portrait. I'm using a 60*80 cm canvas on cardboard as the base and it's been a long time since I last used such a large format to paint on, so I'm pretty psyched!
I would have like to have heard why Basquiat used these techniques and symbols in his paintings, but nevertheless I like this tutorial a lot. You did a great job breaking it down into manageable pieces, especially for folks like me who are learning the basics. Thank you for the tutorial :)
Thank you! Yes, that is what I was saying in my latest video about Rothko: the essence of these little videos is to focus on the painting techniques to see what we can use in our own. And it doesn’t work so well with modern painters who focus more on the meaning than on the technique… but I’m happy you liked it!
Yea, new to his work, But this definitely looks like it would get konfused w/ his own. Find a page in a old anatomy Book and follow this procedure using kontrasting kolours and u mastered his "style"..
Parfait mon ami! Je suis en train de tenter la même chose, penses tu que la seconde couche est 100% indispensable? J’aime beaucoup les traces de pinceau apparentés
Salut! Basquiat travaillait par couches. Et honnêtement, je l’ai faite rapide, par ce qu’il passait et repassait. Il y a plusieurs solutions : tu peux ne pas tout recouvrir, ou bien faire des couches translucides, ou bien tu ne mets pas la seconde couche, hein… c’est ton tableau, tu peux faire ce que tu veux!
@@mygeekfamilycotton Je trouve l'art primitif de Basquiat plus accessible pour m'exprimer en tant que débutant technique. as tu fait une vidéo qui "pose les bases" pour ceux qui ont envie de s essayer a la peinture mais qui ne savent pas par ou commencer?
Eh non… il y a tellement de moyens de commencer… c’est difficile de cerner les niveaux de chacun. On peut arriver à la peinture par le dessin, la sculpture, l’abstrait ou le figuratif… à travers ces mini-études des différents styles, j’essaie de rappeler certaines bases (théorie des couleurs, perspectives… ) mais c’est vrai que c’est surtout pour forcer à sortir de son petit train-train et explorer ses propres limites, plus que pour vraiment apprendre. Je ne suis ni un professeur, ni un artiste professionnel…
Thanks for watching! To be honest, I also have an issue with the more abstract paintings because they usually rely more on the meaning and the intention of the painter than the techniques (as opposed to figurative paintings). By only copying their techniques, you can get the envelope but not the letter hidden inside… on another hand, you kinda « replace » the message of the original with your own feelings (through the Color harmonies, the shapes…), and that makes a completely original piece? Not sure…
@@mygeekfamilycottonI like it. I think you did a great job of it. Especially the portrait part. The finishing bits really made it interesting. I think it stands fine on its own.
Hi Theo! I believe you could use oil, with some adjustments. The main issue I see is that oil will take a much longer time to dry, so you will need to wait before you do the next layer. But, other than that I think you should be ok!
Yes! Fat on fat shouldn’t be any problem! If you are using pastels though be careful to use oil-based ones because the lean stuff will not stick. Cheers!
What exactly was Basquiat 'trying to say to young artists'? You sound like someone who has been trying to start a You Tube channel, but who can't seem to get off the ground.
I love it show and how u explain it so I'm not knocking u but Jon Michael didn't need class or an instructor cause that's what his style is about just being free and using as Bob Ross says "happy asidents"
@@mygeekfamilycotton dnt get me wrong I love it videos and ur talent. I'm a beginner and I eat, sleep, and breath painting Ive learn alot by watching u so truly thanks
It's difficult to merely copy a signature. A painting even more difficult. The persons own style always seeps through. I get though what he's trying to convey but I've watched Basquiat in vids and his process was far more evolved than this simple exercise.
I appreciate the effort, really, but that is the cleanest "Basquiat" Ive ever seen, why not get at it with a palette knife? cut your name through 5 layers of paint and cover it again, the re-scratch it and cover it again, feel something while you paint, fuck the colours, show us what they mean to you
Thanks, and yeah, you are right. One of the dangers of doing abstract is that there is more feeling than technique. I’ll never feel what Basquiat was feeling, never have the experience he had… I hope at least this video can introduce his art to people who didn’t know him
@@mygeekfamilycotton You’ve done a great job of starting! The beauty with this style is that you can go back again and again and mess with it. Ps I wrote the first comment after an all-nighter while likely a bit drunk and making foot long painting implements so don’t consider me an expert, just a rambling fanatic, you’re doing great work.
Thanks for your efforts. It is a great introduction. Those complaining about the meaning should read a book. Not every video has to be comprehensive in its scope
Lots of people enjoy his style and naturally many artists look up to him, particularly when first starting off. After all, everything is derivative of something that's been done before, to some extent.
You need to not paint like another artist. This is extremely disrespectful to copy someone's art. Take all these videos down you should be embarrassed.
Amazing, super clear video. Even with my lack of talent you helped me create a personal and lovely painting. It leaves space to your own creativity. Seriously, 1000 thumbs up
