EssentialArtists John Berkey : A 1970s Sci Fi Master of Impasto Style, Made Spaceships & Hydrofoils

John Berkey was a science fiction illustrator whose signature "impasto" style, that uses a spatula or palette knife to apply paint to the canvas, created these rough, seemingly unfinished paintings that allow the viewer "closure," and deepens their emotional connection to the piece. His rough designs have inspired generations of sci fi illustrators ever since the early 1970s.

Essential Artists is meant for Art Students and Aspiring Artists to give them inspiration, by showing as many examples of an artists work as possible, in contrast to trying to understand an artist with just one or two photographs in an Art History Book. These videos are Hi-Res and should be viewed on a large screen to be fully utilized, and actually see the artists' techniques, the brush strokes and the thread of the canvas. Watch them on your TV while you work on your PC, as a moving canvas, with or without sound. These are the artist AI is copying. These videos are meant to combat the use of AI in art! Students marveling at some AI image should know the name of the artist they are imitating. Get inspired by them, and create your own style blending aspects of these different paintings. The way AI is doing. Don't let computers take over the art field!
