The Forger's Masterclass - Ep.10 - Paul Cézanne

Really would love another series of this - there are no good art programmes on TV these days :(

John is SUCH a good teacher, and a superb coach.

They came across as the least experienced cohort but I feel this group did the best out of all the episodes.

I have spent years studying Cezanne, so watching this was a kick! And what a generous job teaching. Thanks!

Honest no-nonsense critique like mr Myatt't is really the only way to develope when you have reached a certain stage of craftsmanship. It's the way its done on a higher level of artistic education and it is not bullying - it's honesty!

Great series. I could watch 100 episodes.

A brilliant teacher , I could watch these videos all day. Thanks

I'm loving these videos and learning a lot. John Myatt, you're so enthusiastic. Many thanks.

The Forger is a terrific art teacher. I look forward to viewing his other videos.

This format, with 3 art students and an accomplished instructor, is very informative. Thank you.

these need to be in HD

Wow! I can't believe what these amateurs were able to achieve in such a short time. For me, the tattoo-artist's painting was the best but all of them were really, really good!

I am enjoying all of the Forger's series. This one especially...I learned more from this one. (My first oil painting was a Cezanne.) though, I don't paint anything like him...this group of students were great.

As I listen to Myatt speak to this trio of artists, I’m struck with how difficult it is to talk about art with people who don’t have much experience using paint. It would have helped, I think if he had shown them a photo of the scene Cézanne saw as he painted. The provenčal landscape with the mont San Victoire in the distance.

I love Isabel's painting. It's wonderful.

All of them did a great job

Love Cezanne.... thought all three of the painters did a nice job!

Watching these videos is an enriching experience.

I would have given anything to have had a teacher like Myatt in my teens. It would've kept me interested in art not drift into music. Art came so very easily to me that my teachers acclaim just bored me regardless of the awards and accolades. Thirty years later I see this and remember how passionate (not GOOD just fearless) I was and how a lil bit of discipline and humility would've done wonders for my work. But ... there's always time :) Love this man. TV producers.. less cooking and more art!

I love the banter with the lady around 7:00. Simply a great show!

Of all the program in this GREAT series of programs this one is the most fun of them all. All the participants in it I would love to have as my private friends. The art student seems to be such a kind person, the lady that works with clay is so charming and fun. I would love to drink white wine and laugh away an evening with her. And finaly the cute tattoo guy has the most craziest British dialect that I have ever heard. I just love it! Anyone knows where they speak like that in Britain. I just have to go there and hear it again. Thanks to all four of you for making this such a great 30 minutes of joy!

John is a superb teacher of art. His honest critique, gentle suggestions, and enthusiasm come across very well.🖤🇨🇦

this is fantastic ive watched 2 episodes already

My 3 yr old daughter is a natural Cezanne forger. She gets it!! I don't!

"the music of color" - I really enjoy the forger's appreciation of great art

great effort all round, impressed :)

It's difficult to figure out what Cezanne did without seeing what he saw to begin with. Would be much more helpful to see Cezanne`s painting next to a photograph made from the same vantage point.

You don't have to draw your brush marks Beverly. I fell over laughing when he said that. I don't know why but that was the funniest thing ever. I'm not laughing at Beverly, but just the whole thing is hilarious.

The idea of the series was great. You certainly learn a lot from emulating a great artist, and in doing it, growing your understanding of the master, and of course in developing your own skills.

wonderful series of art info. I have learned so much such as lub jelly for extending the time for paint and it will be much cheaper than art extender also house paint: I suspected that I could use it when I run out of my supplies. Nice show thank you.

Cezanne’s compositions, while landing between Impressionism and cubism, still had a very clearly designed foreground, middle distance, and background. This would be a really difficult challenge for artists unused to painting and colour. They did pretty well I think.🖤🇨🇦

They all did a really good job - (acryclics aside). It's amazing that they were able to do that in one day. And Cezanne is no slouch. That's seriously advanced stuff.

great show...inspirational

The best session. All three did a wonderful job. Cezanne must be smiling up there.

Really enjoyed this Tutorial, definitely will have a go now at loosening up my landscapes.

If they are to make another series (which I would love to see) they should have John paint alongside the others as something to compare to, since the paintings from "the masters" aren't made using the same materials and time frame.

Blown away! Each had there strengths. Prefer the landscapes to the sitters and portraits in the series.

Male student has Bradley Cooper features. I think all three had a great crack at it 👏

I love your videos. I am going to copy these masters., remembering the style that made them grea

Really engaging and enjoyable

Fabulous masterclass, i want to do this!

I love the way of you talk and explained method. Anil From India

I would buy the first contestant's work. Really beautiful, great job!

Magnificent ❤

Great

lots to learn......amazing video....

these people need to apply the paint. have fun and just try. that's what it's all about. just get into it and spread that paint on there. always try to enjoy what youre doing.

If you listen to the preview of every episode, he says everybody can learn to paint like the Masters. The idea is to understand and imitate the masters so that atleast 1% will stick to the current artists from the Masters' techniques and style. I think thats what we do in our every day life as well. Dont we try to cook the way our mom did?? It wouldnt help you look at your mom's recipe will it? I think its a great program and wonderful guide in every aspect. Pls keep'em coming. Mr.Myatt, thank u

Awesome enjoying with my students.

So beautiful 😍 loved it 😊 😍 my best wishes to you 💐 stay safe stay connected 😊

loving the education im getting with regard to these famous artists and their backgrounds. Would love to have a go at some of these . really enjoyed the series - many thanks

From the fence upwards, Isabel's painting is really good. It's difficult to know what Cezanne would have done with England's uniform unlit greenery!

waaaaaaahhhhhhhh coffee ... genius!!!!!

Having little experience in painting is actually an advantage when it comes to semi-abstract styles, like Cezanne's or Braque's, for you are more likely to be free of academic realistic rules.

Does anyone know how many episodes were in each season and how many season's of this show exist?

Brilliant tuition Thank you very much 🖌🖌🖌

"paid the price for it" served 4 months haha

Interesting how the art graduate was not able to really let go of the representational. And the tattooist was free to use enough darks.

Very good John! How about doing something like Leroy Neiman? He is one of my favorites. He always looked like he was having lots of fun.

I think they should have given them a bit more information about the artist and maybe shown them a bit more of his work and process to get a slight understanding.

They did such good paintings with so little experience. Cezanne painted everyday for 40 years and are his paintings really any better ? Of course the art market , the dealers , will laugh and say " don't be ridiculous" because they have to protect their business .

5 canvas would be ideal for me to make this lovely landscape!

acrylics outdoors? madness.

Very good instructor! Wish he'd been one of mine in art school...

Nice, but I don't understand why he didn't mention: hold the brush further back, they hold it like a pen.

Ich habe alle Folgen gesehen und das Grundprinzp verstanden und viel gelernt. Doch leider verstehe ich kein bzw. nur sehr wenig englisch, daher fehlen mir ihre Tipps die sie während des Videos geben. Danke für die Veröffentlichungen.

If the resolution would have been better, I would have watched it. Why?

Isabelle's was really good!

He was a Very Clever Man, Paul Cezanne ( 1839 - 1906 ). I am NOT an artist!

Good mentoring

I don't Know about Paul Ceznne, but I am leaning

She really wanted that brush back, hehe!!

Or Velasquez. :P With a painting that has to include reallistic skin, cloth, fur, silver and glass.

How long do you think you would have to let an oil painting dry before you poured cold coffee on it?

Why did every episode feature two women and one man?

I agree..he's like the Gordon Ramsey of art or something.

I'm intrigued by Anybody who uses KY Jelly with their paint! So, is this used strictly as a glaze, I'm wondering, or as something to keep the paint 'open' so it doesn't dry so quickly?

Great, informative series. The comment about Cezanne's inability to draw and express himself is ridiculous.

I actually though the first one looked almost exactly like a Cezanne

having looked at some of his early work, in reproduction of course, i would guess he was a better draftsman than he thought. i dont think i draw as well as people tell me i do.

Well if you include Myatt, it does sort of equal out. Even though he's the presenter.

That young lady was well fit.

Are they using oils? Didn’t know it came in pots???

Acrylics are not as smooth as oils and require more "pulling" making it impossible to get smooth tonalities. There are specific additives for acrylics to remain moist but those do not soften brushstrokes. Imagine a Rembrandt portrait with acrylics. I used to use something similar to a KY jelly to smooth brush strokes but it was water soluble , but now a days they do make a water soluble KY Jelly. probably a lot cheaper than the additives I used to use.

Like painting pixles

I do I take a class??!!!!

Not a bad theory.

good marketing,very little instructions

If I painted something like this everyone would say it s pure garbage lol

Pretty sure this is hosted by Pat Sajak's long lost half-brother.

You mean the criminal's masterclass

:D

I'd give Bev one

He was flirting with that blonde lady, right?

Don't be mad, they'd be doomed from the moment they open their paint box.

nice frames

James needs to pull his pants up and learn how to use a belt correctly.

Great paintings for all being the first try... I did not know Black Cold Coffee = Almost 100 years of aging painting.

If your gonna paint in the style of an artist ,you must mix exactly the same colours as the artists your imitating ,they fell into the green everywhere trap .

I like their paintings much better than the muddy cezanne!
