There are few artists as legendary as Rembrandt, and for good reason. In his early career, he exemplified the best qualities of Dutch Golden Age painting, and in the latter half of his life, he developed a loose, painterly style that still influences artists today. Although Rembrandt used numerous approaches across his many paintings, this class will offer a general overview of his technique.
Week 1: Underpainting and Texture, Week 2: Color Layer Part 1, Week 3: Color Layer Part 2, Week 4: Glazing, broken color, and finishing
