His recent work is far less hit and miss. Previously many of his portraits gave the impression he’d attacked the canvas in a fit with a palette knife. Of late, for reasons he hasn’t told us, his technique has been far more refined and less painterly.

I find the the way his portrait program is produced very irritating. A lot of effort is put into hiding how exactly he produces those images. It’s as if he’s told the producers he doesn’t want any of his ’technical secrets’ given away. We see more of him scooping up paint than how he actually applies it in relation to the entire image. The trick of sending the subject away so as Ahn can ‘Just finish it off’ has us totally in the dark as to what his does at that stage.
Decent enough bloke but useless as a teacher.

I think you'll get the picture now.

I do love 'ancient' Human Art. To stand and gaze upon an Artistic expression from so long ago that represented us Humans in the most rawest and truest of our natures to carry us down through the ages, is amazing.
To say "We are here and we now understand the meaning of 'time' as these pictures will carry us down through the ages like a footprint to follow" etc.

I know people seek 'experiences' in this day an age.
But to gaze upon what these people must have experienced to some degree so so long ago when Humanity was indeed 'alone' in the world...

When I gaze upon Rock Art, it doesn't matter if it was Neanderthalic, Aboriginal, Bornean, Xhoi-Sanic - they are all ancient, raw, original and in the moment.

Camp by a known Cave Art spot (with permission of course and a $fee) and just stay around there for awhile. After a week - alone with the Art, the pictures soon become alive and as the rest of the world fades away in your outback isolation - you can just 'barely' feel the transportation back in time to when those paintings were done and see the world then, as they did... 'pure' and uncorrupted. It's moments like that - that recharges oneself to deal with the modern world and all of its over-complicated stupidity and 'weakness'.

Anh isn't on TV to teach Art. He's a quasi-Art/Entertainer and more 'Celebrity' himself via dealing with Celebrities, etc. He's a TV dude who also does Art. He is very good at getting to the colour of a person's life and the shape of who they are. The 'experience' Anh offers to people through Art could almost be psychological and spiritual for their participation. Anh proves that 'just painting the picture' is not enough - story adds value to the experience.

There is another Art Program (Nude painting) that presents a teaching aspect. Being a former Nude Model for Artists myself, I found it very educational for would be Artists of portraiture.

I can think of at least two ways to appreciate a painting. The first is to just look at it, and let it conjure up whatever in the mind. Picasso's Woman in Red Armchair may not seem all that special today, but I just love the way it confounded people, when it first appeared. It is also important to put the composition in context, and that is where a deepening understanding of history and sociology is helpful, and that perspective needs to be a lifelong quest. What the painting means to the individual, and what it was a reaction to, are far more important than the spurious notion of artistic meaning.

My take on Picasso's Red Chair? I would have to refer you to my post #88 which I will add here to save looking for it. I said:

"I think it is a mistake to interpret a meaning for such works, or for that matter to pass judgement on them. The only question I ask myself is, "Would I hang it on my wall?" "

In this case, the answer is yes, and I expect I would see it differently on any given day.
