I remember the only time that I saw a Rembrandt painting in person. There was a traveling exhibit from the Louvre at the High Museum in Atlanta. It had Marie Antoinette's furniture and a few paintings. I turned a corner and there was the Rembrandt. It looked like it was glowing radioactive. I tried to soak it in, but my mind was blown. I left the exhibit and sat down on a tree stump that was on the floor to think about what just happened. One of the museum attendants came up to me and asked me "not to sit on the art."
Omg yes! When I was in art school, I had the blessing of taking a class on Rembrandt’s work. If anyone has the opportunity, his work demands to be seen in person. The Night Watch was a particularly emotional experience for me. I was not so impressed by just the pictures you see in art books or online, but seeing how massive and luxurious it is in person actually brought me to tears. It ticks me off that the subjects in that piece hated it lol.
I have greatly enjoy the video. An eye opening and I thank you very much. What a great way to learn more about the masters. You are doing a great job! Very educational and inspiring as well. Blessings and be safe.
Nicely done series, I really appreciate how you approach each artist and the history of their body of work. How you break up the process and techniques within a piece is very valuable in how I would approach a master study. I think that you are a very good and effective teacher. Thank you for your generosity.
After spending 8years learning how to render 150 hours drawings I stopped and even though I love my absolutely beautiful art pieces I realized that I don’t have time to spend the next 10 years rendering 5 paintings. I love creating too much. Wisdom as I turn 59 lol. 19 more than you Stephen 😇
With the concept of using a black mirror.. I think my art has greatly benefited from me having very blurry eyesight.it helps with block ins and base layers of paint.
Rembrandt used genuine gamboge and alizarin crimson. I wonder how it affects the perception we have today. Some golden color I saw on picture was due to varnish yellowing thus some archival pictures removeing that fact from the book images making me confused.
the same thing has happened with many tonalist painters like george inness.. people think tonalist paintings from the 19th century and early 20th are all tinted warm or yellow but when you remove the varnish from an inness you see the colors are actually distinct in the gamut and not as limited as people think. You begin to see a lot more bright colors

Hey Brother, you're doing a great service to artists of all levels of experience here. Thank you Stephen. Please continue.
I'm really loving WWLA series! Great collaboration in this one Stephen! Thanks for your videos.
Pigments (availability and limitations) and how rembrandt used them 35:00 deserves a YT clip on it own Stephen.

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Love listening to your conversations. I can't believe Rembrandt was 20 when he painted Tobit and Anna with the Kid!!! Insane skill.
So true!
Love these videos!
thanks for the instructional and art history sides

Love this! ❤️
Somebody of your advanced age lol.
This is great!
Really well produced, and a good conversation to inspire within artists. Also, good commentary on David Hockney. It's... justified.
For sure ;)

About opacity I also turn to fausto pirandello who explored this so well

Interesting!
hey Stephen, do you have any videos on your patreon explaining how you render form, or do you end up demonstrating this over the existing videos?
It comes up in most videos, though none exclusively.
@@stephenbaumanartwork thanks, i will be joining your Patreon in november
Hi
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn
thx for this great video and I learnt a lot. I did not get the name of Ken. Could you let us know? Thank you.
Thats, Ken Goshen. You can find his links in the description as well.
@@stephenbaumanartwork Thx you Stephen.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🏻
Content, A +. Weird laser light effects around the border remind me of a 90's senior portrait session. Unnecessary and distracting.
Live and learn 😅
You could show examples if you’re having this conversation for us, otherwise…
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT STEPHEN BAUMAN? :-)
HIS COMMITION OF ART AND EDUCATION.
LOL I AM NOT TRUMP, BUT...
Ken Goshen seems an egoist that is VERY jealous of the great artists.
i dont know about that... he's pretty freaking good man. He has a very unique way he does figurative work that reeks of mastery!
