I want to thank everyone for your amazing support and questions. I just released my newest course dedicated to Rembrandt’s late style techniques. This course includes the full demo and an overview of the pigments and colors used in the demo, including full instructions on how to prepare the quartz ground.

If you are obsessed with him check out Vincent Van Gogh, Edward Munch, Johonnes Vermeer, Peter Paul Rubens, Caravaggio, Diego Velázquez, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Peirre - Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet & Edgar Degas. I threw in Claude Monet’s paintings because his flowers & landscapes are simply amazing! There are MANY more brilliantly wonderful artists who’s work will make you catch your breath in awe & dive into their works with great interest & intrigue! If you’re new to the art world, welcome! Stay a while, it’s beautiful & relaxing here! If you’re already aquatinted with the art world, welcome back!

This is the best example of Rembrandt’s technique I have seen on KZread. I suppose there will always be a mystery of how Rembrandt worked. Thank you for your work and research.

Thank you for sharing, I recently painted two Rembrandt master copies, but used a slightly different technique, it was very interesting to see how you initially painted the face, in an almost impressionistic style, before blending things together and glazing!

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing so much of your research into his technique. I had no idea he used sand for body! Thank you!

Thank you for the demonstration! It's wonderful ❤

Discovered your channel. Love your clear and down-to-earth insights. Your analysis and exploration of technical steps; embrace a scholarly standard that allows fellow artists to grasp the examples you illustrate with a sense of joy. I have always admired Rembrandt's playful approach to colour and light--upon close examination his genius is so poetic and abstract--as you point out, he travels the full range of impressionist techniques. Excellent! Thank you. I will apply many of your ideas to my own work, with particular attention devoted to portraiture. I just love the interplay of realism with abstraction. Cheers from Newfoundland. PS: I would love to see you tackle the painterly ideas of light and colour presented by Raphael. Especially his miniatures. I find they transcend aspects of Leonardo's work. There are great scholarly sites that allow one to examine his drawings and transfer methods, used to construct the panel details and spatial volumes, etc.

A video of this quality, mastery and scientific approach to art should go viral. How is it possible that it didn't reach at least million views is beyond me. Thank you so much for sharing with us your incredible painting and presentational talents.

Hi Luis. I have an old painting by one of the artists and I want to document it, and then sell it, knowing that there is an unprofessional person who has tampered with it and abused the painting and then someone put a substance with the intention of examining it and made it worse. Can you help me in this matter? I want to contact one of the experts in fonts and graphics.

Amazing🤩😍👍

Not sure if you take requests! I'm a forever student of the Renaissance, and Carlo Dolce. It wild be great to see his process. I'm sure it's similar to the others of that time, but he really stands out with how soft and bold his work is.

good work. I would say that you're adding white much too early. If you do that, it bleaches out the portrait. Rembrandt built from dark to light, as any traditional oil painter. the lighter you go, the thicker the paint. The darker tones are never painted over the lighter tones. The darker tones are revealed through the lighter tones. he also didn't smudge paint with a rag. He painted distinct strokes with distinct values only, with occasional scratches to reveal more of the dark under painting.

Masterly recreation! Wonderful beyond words

unusual painstaking technique of building up opaque short strips of mixed paint with carefully controlled and very limited blending on canvas. best method for chiaroscuro.

Interesting subject - and I admit that it would be very helpfull to have written down the names of colors, brushes and other materials as a list that could be downloaded - and then go into the very painting process 🌷❤️

You have a good adapted painting technique! Most Rembrandt reconstructions, I've seen so far don't have. Most people only try to create a surface, but without deep. You also can't do a Rembrandt by using titanium white for example... And also not every Lead White is possible. Modern lead white is a lot different to the one made by traditional processes. I like that you are working close to chemical analysis too. Your painting has deep!

Thank you, these presentations are great. I really appreciate your efforts. I would love to know what Tiepolo and Rembrandt used for their brown drawings. It was said bistre was used but was more recently discover to be iron gall ink. Iron gall ink has the appearance of black however. I would love to know what they used.

I think choosing a palette of pigments is an art in itself. And using them to the utmost is also an art.

GREAT

I am amazed that Rembrandt only had to wait a few days for the layers of paint to dry. I paint with oils but I paint thinly and even then, the paint takes a while to completely dry. How was Rembrandt able to paint over these layers without smearing them together? I love his style and am learning a lot from you about it. Prior to watching your channel, I had no idea at all that some of the old masters used materials to texture the paint. It makes so much sense to me now seeing Rembrandt's portrait paintings.

Hey Luis, thanks for sharing this! I was just wondering how you manage the fat over lean with the impasto and the glazing?

@LuisBorreroVisualArtist

Hello Robert: I used no medium for the first layers and heat bodied linseed oil for the top glazes. I generally use no extra medium as I prepare all my colors fresh for each individual layer. This allows me to prepare the colors with different consistencies for each layer. Sometimes I add chalk to my colors for the first layers as well.

omg I loove youuuu

Hola Luis muchisimas gracias por tu contenido muy amable de tu parte compartirlo, estaria fabuluso alguna sección en español para los que no dominamos el ingles. saludos desde el sur del mundo

Great video , i always though that Rembi used to paint only impasto & glazzing , i mean no direct colour

What is that first bristle brush you used. It seems lumpy? Did you make it yourselve?

Exelente canal informativo, estoy siguiendo los videos. Que diferencia tiene este tipo de imprimatura que utilizaba rembranth velazquez o caravaggio a la de gesso como lo utilizaba tiziano o el greco? Es mas flexible?

@LuisBorreroVisualArtist

3 жыл бұрын

Saludos Alejandra: Gracias por comentar. El gesso histórico a base de cola animal es mucho menos flexible que una imprimación de óleo y pigmentos de tierrra o plomo.

The main thing that I think would have improved this would be longer brush strokes that follow the form. Your first layer has a lot of small daubs that break up the form and you were never able to escape that evenly bumpy texture later. Rembrandt paintings have lots of long brush strokes that define the form, and those strokes often have multiple colors within them, which makes me think he probably was daubing on color like you started doing, but then dragged through the daubs to model the form. Each brush stroke defines a fold or a wrinkle, not an individual color spot.

It's amazing! Would I know that which paint you used to paint that... Like acrylic color or any other...?
