2024-01-11 - Analyzing The Masters: Gustave Klimt
🕑 Added 2024-01-13 01:22:36 +0000 UTCIn this continuing series of understanding the simple, yet elegant creative choise that make the masters masterful, we look at Gustave Klimt.
If you are more of a fan of more traditional realism, keep this in mind:
If we truly understand the creative choices of an artist, we can use their stratgey to very different result.
For example, both Klimt and Rubens used the leaning position of their figure in a non-ordinary way compared to most realists in history.
Suggested homework:
Using the reference provided, play with the same filters Klimt loved so much in th esmae way or differently:
1. The learning position
2. Silhouettes
3. And limiting the value range in those silhouettes
Have fun!

I return. And I’m still drawn to and convinced that this is one of my all time favorite videos Dr. Steve! And thank you for the plentiful resources too. Now that I’m not as high as I was from my initial overwhelming sense of being star struck ! I’ve noticed there’s more ‘excitables’ for downloading than at first and second glance, I’m chuffed again! Thank you just to be sure I’m going to pass this tutorial link to my daughter! If you don’t mind? Keina is the other star stricken Klimtophile of the family…please dm me if this is not cool Dr. Steve, cheers Dr. Jason
