Landscapes in Oils

 K7 PAL
Ref: APV JC1 LO

Durée : 60 Minutes


 

Mon avis :

Un style impressionniste, un bon coup de patte mais, bien que l'on y apprenne des petites choses, je ne suis pas emballé par ce DVD. Il existe une version française qui reprend 2 ou 3 des exemples de ce DVD

------

Leurs avis :

Jane has a wonderful sense of colour and composition that she uses with great subtlety to describe the very essence and character of her subjects, uncovering the hidden shapes and patterns


A Light Touch: Landscapes in Oils

Mon avis :

David Curtis est un bon peintre de paysages mais n'a, a mon avis, pas de grain de folie comme l'a Ken Howard, c'est une peinture trop 'sérieuse' à mon goût. J'ai tout de même appris beaucoup de choses en visualisant ce DVD.

Leurs avis :

David's unique approach to oil painting enables him to capture the mood and atmosphere of his subjects

THE ARTIST - April 2004
So, too, it is always entertaining and instructive to watch Tom Coates at work. Painting with Oils is the second in a planned trilogy of films with Tom and in it he paints at two locations on the coast of northern France - St Valery and Le Treport. His aim on such trips, he explains, is to explore the area and gather as much information as possible in the short time available. He likes to make small, loose studies, normally on toned board, using these as the reference material for larger, more resolved works in the studio later on.

Tom's method of working is fascinating to watch. "Go for the shapes" is his advice, and interestingly he uses soft brushes for much of the painting. "You can flick about with these," he says. "The colour won't lift and it's easier to work paint into the surface of the board or canvas." There is a wealth of tips and advice and plenty to inspire the reluctant plein-air oil painter.THE ARTIST- December 2004
Finally, I would also recommend Painting with Oils, a very instructive and entertaining film with Tom Coates. Tom is always good value and in this film there is much to inspire, as well as a wealth of tips and advice, especially for those artists who enjoy plein air work. When on location - here at St Valery and Le Treport on the northwest coast of France - his aim, he says, "is to explore the area and gather as much information as possible in the short time available. It is fascinating to see how he makes various small, loose studies on site, usually on toned board, and how these are subsequently used as the reference material for larger, more resolved works in the studio.

LEISURE PAINTER - April 2006
Tom Coates is a member and sometime president of an impressive list of societies, and currently holds this post at the New English Art Club. His style is free and direct, untrammelled by any rules.

In his film, Simplifying Watercolour, he tackles various landscape subjects opening with a couple of views of a very English meadow. He shows how he starts without any underdrawing, sketching out his compositions with a rigger brush, and loosely washing in larger areas with a mop. Once the larger shapes are established he indicates smaller details such as sheep and figures to create a sense of scale. Unusually he uses chalk rather than masking fluid to retain highlights which he finds works most of the time!

The venue then moves to France where he works on medium-scale paintings, whilst simultaneously jotting down small studies in a pocket sketchbook for future reference. The first is a wide beach scene at Pen Guen, where, conveniently, a horse and rider come into view and meander through the gently breaking waves. Further interest is added in the form of people with metal detectors and children playing on the sand. Later sketches include compositions of boats and figures along another stretch of coast.

A rural scene painted from the balcony of his lodgings in Jugon les Lacs, offers an interesting juxtaposition of shapes – rooftops, roads, walkways, a lake; all intersecting and dropping away to create an unusual sense of perspective. He returns to this later to redefine the contrasts and add smaller details.

Coates has a relaxed style that is fascinating to watch. His compositions evolve unexpectedly and always retain a fresh quality however much he works into them. His method encourages the viewer to break from traditional approaches, and to simply enjoy the process of capturing the essence of what is before them.

Richard has a great love and awareness of the landscape and the effects of light and weather. This understanding has established him as a great painter of light and in this film his inspiration comes from the coastline around his home in Dorset. Working outdoors with a small pochade, he draws and paints small studies in and around the harbour at Lyme Regis as well as on the shore at Charmouth and on Eggardon Hill. Working in his studio, he uses much of this material to work up large canvases of Lyme Regis.

LEISURE PAINTER - March 2010
Review by Theodora Philcox

With a passion

Herman Pekel handles paint with impressive confidence which, combined with his enthusiastic and engaging personality, makes his film, A Passion for Paint, highly enjoyable to watch. Believing it is important to have a connection with the subjects you paint, his first two canvases focus on the area he grew up in, north east of Melbourne, Australia. Pekel begins by mapping in key lines, and then washes colour over the canvas to start defining the form. He demonstrates his empathy with the landscape as he quickly builds a sense of depth, layering transparent darks, and creating rhythmic, fluid lines. He then moves in with a credit card, wielding it like a palette knife, pushing the thick paint around sculpturally, creating areas of foreground texture that bring life to the composition. Highlights in the trees are added with subtlety, and the lightest points are reserved until the very end. For the third painting, Pekel moves down to St Kilda on an absolutely beautiful day. He sets up his canvas to paint a view of the beachfront, starting with the same impressionistic approach. He washes in the foundation colours broadly, before using a square- ended brush to define the shape of the buildings, along with his trusty credit card for texture on the sand.

Staying with water, he goes towards the mouth of the River Yarra, settling on an industrial view of the harbour, with harsh metal structures against a muted view of the city rising beyond. As he nears the end of the painting, a huge ship sails through, tempting Pekel to include it. He is never afraid to experiment, but once added, he decides not to keep it, enabling him to demonstrate how he can remove an item as fast as it was painted, scraping it off, and then overpainting and blending until no evidence is left.

Finally, tired after the two previous paintings, he goes down to Williamstown, reducing a varnished paper ground to a narrow landscape format. Despite battling with his easel wobbling in the wind, Pekel masterfully maps in the features of the buildings.

This is an excellent film. Pekel is so clearly enjoying himself as he paints, that his exuberance is infectious. He inspires viewers to capture the atmosphere of a place without getting hung up on rules.
