Painterly Excellence and Mishandling in Nicolai Fechin's Portraits | Masterclass by Jan-Ove Tuv
Jan-Ove Tuv gives his analysis of the portraits by Nicolai Fechin and compares them to works by the Russian-American's contemporaries and older colleagues.
In this video you will learn about:
• Reflecting the background in the main character
• Separating forms by temperature instead of value
• Keeping solidity in a roughly painted portrait
• Dividing a form into multi-shapes to achieve volume
• How to pull off thick in the shadows, thin in the lights
• Why Munch and Boznanska are superior to Fechin
• How too much structure of paint can defeat the form
• What Chardin and Fechin have in common
• Varying between loose and tight outlines
• Fechin's problemtatic handling of backgrounds
• Why Rembrandt takes the glory at the end of the day
