Review by Johnnie Liliedahl:
I have just had the most extraordinary privilege of watching a master artist at work on a major gallery painting, from first brushstrokes to final flourish. As a painter myself, I can assure you that being able to see an artist of Robert Johnson's caliber create such an outstanding work is priceless as an instructive program. We were in the studio five days with Robert, and he was articulate and thorough in explaining his entire thought process, from the arrangement of the setup to the procedures he used in preparing his materials, to the techniques and motivations behind using each type of brush or knife in the painting process. More than that, his intellectual process was constantly revealed as he gave reasons for the aesthetic choices and decisions he made throughout the painting.
His particular mastery of the explosion of blooms in the potted azaleas was of special interest to me as a painter, and he graciously accepted my request to show all of his fans how he approached such a daunting challenge. In his book, On Becoming a Painter, examples ofA several large, complex compositions are included. They are full of interesting vessels, shapes, and designs. As one of his workshop attendees, I had seen him produce exquisite, smaller paintings for a three-hour demonstration, but I longed to see how he approached a major painting composed of many diverse elements. With this wish in mind, we invited Robert to film another program with us that explored this more in-depth nature of his work.
As students of painting, it is virtually impossible to see a master painter at work, unless you have the enviable position of being that artist's protege. Few of us have that privilege and must be satisfied with (relatively) short demos and measured peeks into a working artist's actual processes, usually seen in a workshop setting. This video program affords the deeply inquisitive painter a unique viewpoint right over the artist's shoulder throughout the process.
With four cameras showing the whole painting, two close-up views, and one over the palette, not a stroke is missed. Obviously, a video of 6 hours does not show every single stroke made over a period of five days of filming, but the editing is sensitive to the art student's need to know precisely what to see at any given moment in the painting process.
As a master of brush-mixing colors, Robert imparts as much information on his palette as on the canvas with the brushstroke. For this reason, the palette is considered as important as the canvas surface, so you don't have to wonder how he mixes a color or where he puts it. You will see all of it as if you were standing at his elbow.
I can't recommend this video highly enough to any who are seriously interested in the pursuit of still life and floral painting. If you have his other videos, you know what a skilled craftsman Robert is with the brush. Now, learn the intellectual aesthetic that takes advantage of those skills.
This painting was recently juried into the Oil Painters of America National Competition, where we hope to release the video in concert with its public display. Visit the show in Fredericksburg TX, May 10-13, to see the painting in the Whistle Pik Gallery. There is no charge to view the entire show in the gallery.
