"He would have..." is a phrase often used by Tom when discussing these artists but the question remains as to the certainty of his knowledge.

Things in this I can't believe - eg, that Monet would have painted over varnish (and it wasn't even necessary to do that to achieve the result at the end: I can't work out why he did it). The other thing was the throw-away line that he'd used "a bit of tempera" in the white .... that may well be the way Tom forged paintings, but it surely isn't the way Monet would have painted - unless anyone out there knows better? He's always interesting, but I suspect you need to take a pinch of salt with some of these videos.
@RobertJonesWightpaint3 жыл бұрын
I haven't watched the video yet, so can't comment on what's been said, but I saw your comment and thought I'd chime in. Monet wouldn't have wanted any of his paintings varnished, he specified to galleries that he wanted to keep them unvarnished, although they went against his wishes (I think Mr. Keating even said this himself in another video). He certainly wouldn't have painted over varnish or used tempera. He did leech the oil out of his paints by putting them on some sort of blotting paper, to keep them a little drier and to maintain a matt finish. He'd often spend an hour or so getting down his sketch in nature, then take it back to the studio. He also frequently came back to paintings and worked on them several years later, although he was his own PR man, so didn't typically advertise the fact. Not that there was anything wrong in doing that, it would certainly have helped with the layering and drybrush.

No disrespect to Mr. Keating, he was around before the internet and a great many well written books on the subject since his passing, and he has a great manner of talking, but there are some erroneous points being made. Monet, like other impressionists nearly always worked on a light toned ground of some sort, not white. He would not have drawn out his subject matter in pencil or charcoal, but would have made a few marks with a brush, and some rudimentary gestural stokes or rhythms and nothing more, before starting, therefore he would have had a very good idea already in his head about where he was going. He would have begun with some sort of Étude (block in) mostly in fairly thin paint, and would either do several studies that he might return to or work on in his studio, sometimes returning to them again and again over several years. A few of his paintings are compromised of a great many layers, although Monet said he disliked his over worked paintings, and preferred to get it down correctly and simply the first time. There's often a lot drybrush technique, which can generally only be done successfully if the painting is dry beforehand. He leached the excess oil out of his paints with some sort of blotting paper, to keep the pigment drier and more matt. He did not want his finished work to be varnished.

No glazing for Monet
@allenvoss79772 жыл бұрын
Mr. Keating works far better as an old master or traditional academic. Two missing elements re: Monet - one, the underappreciated surety of brushstroke in even brief outdoor sketches, with half an horizon drawn in a single wide stroke, paint revealing multiple unmixed colors left on each side of the stroke. It was not all small dabs, all the time. Second, greater spectrum of implied colors came from subtle juxtapositions of warm/cool variations, as well as near-complementary optical blends. The Impressionists did not produce a more accurate way of seeing - they took advantage of learning how the eye and brain CAN see and create a mental picture from abstract pieces, which may vary from the measured spectrum of the subject. The semi-opaque blue-gray glaze near the end deadened, rather than heightened, any sense of color vibrancy Monet would have drawn out.

His forgeries were full of hidden clues for people who could see, under painted messages that would be revealed at the first x-ray, or painting on varnish so the picture would disappear at the first restoration. Sadly greed makes people oblivious to these things, so other people passed his work off as original. It's why Tom was never convicted, although his poor health and injuries from a recent motorcycle accident may have contributed to the court's leniency. He was better at mimicking some artists than others, but given sufficient time he could make a good imitation of most because his understanding of technique was so complete. These programmes didn't allow him that time, so they are more an approach than an exhaustive study. He was ill when they were made and died shortly after.
