This is darned good. I tried this one for my first digital master copy (using Procreate) and it was very hard to get the expression right. Can't even imagine doing it in oils (I've never painted in oils, but use acrylics) and I'm very impressed with this. I think I'll go back to this self portrait now, almost a year since I made the first one. (I record and post mine on my channel too.)
The very first step really pleased me as the touch was so closed to those in Rembrandt ink paintings. Not only watching you doing master studies is very pleasant, but it gives some of the best inside to the building process of traditional oil paintings. Thank you so much for sharing your discoveries with us.
Your work is amazing there is no doubt of that. Rembrandt is in a league of his own. I believe the dedication of the old masters is lost on us. But your work is I believe the closest we will ever see in our time. Bravo My friend.
This so good, it shows me so clearly how much more I need to learn. I get in trouble when I put in details, too early, then I have to work backward, trying to make other parts fit. I really appreciate your slow, methodical beginning, I seem to get hung-up on measuring too much. I see that you are using gloves, which might mean that you are working with pigments that contain lead, such as Zink White. I also make the mistake of first using large brushes to identify big shapesI am practicing with a number of Rembrandt self-portrait studies to become more competent at portraits. A major struggle that I have always had is, I am color-blind, and the Red/Green range gives me problems, which means most of my painting is in a gallery, where I used to teach drawing and painting to kids and adults, and where I can get additional help, thank you, 30 yr., USArmy, ret., disabled, MSG Leum
I'm still in he process of watching this wonderful painting emerge, and just recently I had gotten the idea of going back to the Frick Collection and view what is probably my personal favorite self portrait Rembrandt painted of himself, his last. The way he casts that knowing eye....by then he had experienced the loss of his wives, his children...and his wealth. Those eyes tell of all that. Unfortunately, if I read the notice correctly, the Frick collection is currently closed at the Madison Ave. New York City location, but some work is exhibited further uptown, but they don't list what is displayed. Also, I recently read an interesting article involving Rembrandt's grinding of his own paints, and how those who have the experience with such craft recognize that some of his lighting effects and other visual impacts start all the way down with how he chose to grind a quantity of pigment to gain a certain effect in the finished and dry image. There seems to be no end to the skills he had mastered, and that evidently began with even the way his paints were ground at the very beginning.
Hi, what do you hold of Géricault, particularly his work: the charging chasseur? Would you ever paint it on this channel? It is my favourite painting😉 The coronation of Napoleon by David is also splendid.
Hi Vincent- I liked both those canvases very much the few times I’ve been able to see them. Gericault and David are favorites, especially their portraits. I don’t have the space or time or skill to attempt such large and complex pictures but maybe sketches after them would be possible. Have you seen the study for the head of the Chasseur in the Bonnat Museum?
Thank you for taking the time to paint, edit and share this video with us. Quick question...Did you you stand oil to thin the paint during the entire process or just on the brow? I like the way your paint looks to be flowing.
Walnut or linseed oil, sometimes a drop of liquin when I want that layer to be dry the next day. I usually avoid turpentine and damar only because of fumes but they work well too of course. Thx
What does that have to do with Rembrandt? The depicted figure has similarities with Rembrandt, but your painting style is somewhere between department store kitsch, pop art and what the vulture settled.
One of the few GREAT copies I have ever seen

By far the best study of Rembrants self portrait on the tube.
No more
Thank you for sharing! Amazing talent! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Rembrandt is the greatest master of painting
Your work is amazing there is no doubt of that. Rembrandt is in a league of his own. I believe the dedication of the old masters is lost on us. But your work is I believe the closest we will ever see in our time. Bravo My friend.
You are the best mate thanks for showing how it’s done

@@olddirtymasters not yet, but I will put it on to my to visit list 😉 Thanks for the reply and keep on painting
Thank you for taking the time to paint, edit and share this video with us.
Quick question...Did you you stand oil to thin the paint during the entire process or just on the brow?
I like the way your paint looks to be flowing.
Just tried stand oil for the upper forehead because that area looked like it had that leveling quality. Thanks!
@@olddirtymasters Thank you for your reply. One final question, what do you thin your paints with while painting?
Walnut or linseed oil, sometimes a drop of liquin when I want that layer to be dry the next day. I usually avoid turpentine and damar only because of fumes but they work well too of course. Thx
Can We paint also this kind of painting with acrylics?
Yes I think so but but I’m not very familiar w acrylics.
what were you referencing the painting from, your computer or a reproduction from a book?
A combination of both in addition to looking at the original at the museum.
Doesn't time change things.? it must.
Underpainting colors ??
1st of all , way 2 fast on brush
strokes now and then slow down . (Most important) with impastos!
you should try doing it in multiple layers to achieve the same effects Rembrandt did.
perso je vois pas la difference entre chasseur et guss dx file..
