- In this week's portrait painting video I aim to guide you through the development of a Rembrandt master copy. The paint is vigorously applied to the surface, at times, to try and emulate the bold impasto brush marks in the original painting.

I don't even paint and have no interest in painting, so I don't know why I clicked on this and watched until the end.
Great video that was intriguing and entertaining enough for me to stick around for the whole thing. I definitely learned a lot, and it was an enjoyable process to watch
go paint. your mind may want it
You can start now that you have that curiosity and became a master seriously said
I love your humble and tell about this picture and this creator. I was in the National Gallery and had the same impression. Just writing some presentations about self-portrait by Rembrandt by age 63. Thank You!
Yupari is this generation Bob Ross...Bravo Bravo Bravo...
Thank you thank you thank you for all your videos and especially for talking about fear in the beg of this it thought I was the only one THANK YOU
Bravo mr Yupari....Funny I left you a comment on the last painting you did saying you deserve Lead white and even mentioning the Rublev brand...and you ran across it on your own guided path and have discovered the most important feature of portraiture paint and that is the paint surface.......So, many good painters only have colored canvases. Not the impasto so necessary to make a painting have that soul, life, glow you so aptly mentioned. Weak surfaces, if good, look like photographs and that ability tickles the average viewer, but a real painting done with knowledge, love, understanding, deep humanity, and spiritual ability has that paint surface that “no one” can just walk by or just say “nice Painting. Keen insight between our two hero’s Rembrandt and Sargent. Sarge took 3 years to paint Lilly carnation Lilly and those around him said he would push... “do not be in a hurry take the time, deliberate, then attack”. Schmidt has a saying that Sargent’s paintings only look painted fast and only look painted loose. Ala prima is a much misunderstood term when confronted with the reality of what subject your painting and what it will take to render it.
I love this painting and watching you have so many ah’haaas and sharing them..... What do you think of the Rublev white? Did you know that the conservators figure Rembrandt would use a pin knife to etch into his latter layers and after everything dried rub on that nasty tar stuff and rub it off so it only stuck in the crevasses? Keep those brushes wet Albert. Always waiting for Saturdays with you.
I'm sure using more paint is my biggest issue at the moment, aside from using too intense mixtures of paint probably. Excellent video!
i'm only halfway through (saving some for tomorrow :) but man, this is an awesome tutorial, thank you so much. i learn so much from you! i'm going to try a similar colour mixing style (usually i just have loads of blobs on my palette at the end) and do more allaprima. inspiring!
I agree lead white is harmless to the painter..... thank you for publishing your work as a learning tool !!
Mario Oliveto that’s what I thought
you are a young master, and you are very humble, i think the people enjoy zoo much your demonstration, thank you very much for sheer your video.
To capture the abstract is to capture reality, Wow! you said that? Ah, the moment!
This was a wonderful teaching video! I don't ordinarily paint portraits, but you have definitely inspired me with this Rembrandt portrait.. The voice over was also excellent, explaining your thought process as you mixed your colors, etc. Thank you so much, this is definitely a keeper.
Amazing - thank you for all the interesting patient explanations !
Thanks Yupari you are a born teacher, your thought process is very interesting I have learnt so much from you.
Thank you for your video!! Something he did was glazing which added depth and lumimosity, so maybe once this one is dry you can add the glazing layers :)
You are a very kind master Yupari
It's hard to capture a masterpiece, nice tribute to the artist...
Nice demo. Love seeing how you use the palettte.
nice
Me encanta tu trabajo
Its a very inspirational video - and very well done and Ienjoyed following your thoughts about quality and the painting process and quite a funny eyeopening remark when you said - patience can be learned - I absolutely find this very impressing and filled with a beautiful demonstration and attitude - be patient, be brave and go for it - and you certainly do that. Great work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, this tutorial is very interesting for my painting technique
AMAZING
Hey. I use Old Holland Cremnitz White, which is also a lead white. I use regular titanium white for underpainting and because it's hard to get and really expensive, lead white only for the color layers. You will not get lead poisoning as long as you don't smear it on your face, or eat it instead of butter on bread. Lead white was the only white available for painters in those times and most of them lived long lives. If you get it on your fingers, just wash with lots of soap and you will be fine. In my opinion, cadmium is a more dangerous element.
Some painters like to sand their dried paintings before continuing work on them. In that case, safety gear is a must and lead and cadmiums should be avoided.

What you say is true...tuna fish has more lead in it than accidentally getting a little of this paint in your mouth.....all the qualified conservationists all agree the best thing to do for the longevity of your painting is the use of lead white....however even that product has been bastardized by even reputable colorists (manufacturers). The use of zink in any paint will cause cracking, flacking and pealing and that, almost scarily fast. The use of lead also holds the integrity of the paint so you don’t get value, drawing and color float, that is small amounts of movement by slicker or lighter paint over the lower surface that literally changes the drawing from the original over either longer or shorter times depending on environmental conditions. Check out Rublev and Harding for good stack or lead. Harding gets a higher price but Rublev even though less are superior leads done the authentic way. It’s best to use the lead lower ie even as your base, and as gesso, however if your worried about price at least in everything above...its really not that much more and the benefits are worth it. You can scrape right down to the base if you want to start over, do small or large redos, or even make repairs; all of this even months later if you want which is a nightmare with acrylic gesso. But mainly the color quality’s and the way you can work the paint OMG night and day. As a side note: Rembrandt used ground glass in his lead in certain areas and that is how he got that glow that Yupari was so smitten with and Rublev even sells that. My hope is these two manufacturers and our new paint astronauts will ban the scare that the money grubbers have sold America. It’s true it’s a poison, like certain bug sprays etc....but to scare people away with exaggeration and lies and sensationalism is wrong and misleading to our younger up coming stars.
Usually Yupari is good at replying to his comment section I’ve been most interested to hear from him...but he must be busy or on the road. Good painting to you my friend...keep your brushes wet.
Hi. I live in Romania and getting Harding or Rublev lead paint here is almost impossible. I'm lucky that I can even get my hands on Old Holland lead paint. My plan is to buy pigment from Kremer and mix it myself. This would be the best solution I can think of. The other solution involves buying sheets of lead and go through the whole process of making it from scratch by myself, but this can take a long time. On the other hand, I actually managed to purchase a 2.3 pounds jar of litharge and I started experimenting with it in different mediums.
As far as I know, ol' Rembrandt also played a lot with resin mediums. He liked his paint to have a pasty and sticky quality. Some of the brush marks can't even be achieved without this stickiness. He liked to wrestle on canvas with his paint :)
Fantastic my friend you know you get quite a bit if you make yourself fairly fast in a couple of weeks you’ll have enough for a tube depending on how mush lead rolls you use. once its crumbly or can be scraped off its ready you don’t have to wait for the full decay.... plus from what I’ve heard Old Holland is one of the real deals and maybe the only company that used horse manure and has kept manufacturing all these years. I love them its to bad there so expensive. If I can be of any help let me know. I don’t know what shipping is to Romania and it might be they charge for import but private boxes I’m not sure. God bless.

Great video, and great painting. Very well done and explained.
Thank you for the tutorial, very helpful😊
Marvellous ... You are awsome. Justified
Nice discussion of painting and Rembrandt...
Love your tutorial good job I'm a portrait painter to.
Fantastic! Thank you.
What is the brushing with a large paint brush over your painting about?
Que bueno!
so very nice work Thank you for sharing
Thanks for your video! Nice Rembrandt in modern technique, will you try one day in transparent layers too?
nice, Rembrandt is one of my fav artists ever
LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing! :)
Excellent! You are extremely talented.
Good approach, always difficult. Good to try it!
This is amazing
YES THANK U FINALLY
Rembrandt used hog hair bristles... That's why you couldn't achieve the texture... But amazing video.
do you use the big brush dried ?
well done!
well done great work
...didn’t Rembrandt use more of a glazing technique than as to straight forward alla prima technique ? Just curious 🤔
Absolutely true...this is more a sargent way
You are right. This is why this looks dirty.
Wow
14:09 ??? Is that paint thinner?
Can you please share the colors you mixing? I just need the name of the colors and why and how you fix the particular ones. Please help me. Thank you so much! I have to understand the colors to copy masters. Where should we know which particualr colors they used and mixed? Are everyone guessing out or is there a technique of mixing and choosing the right colours?
He named all the colors he was using around the 1 min mark. After the 10 min mark he zooms out so we can see which colors he mixes together for what. But if you are asking about Rembrandt's technique and colors as in Art History knowledge, I think here he's guessing the colors here. You might need to find a book discussing Rembrandt's process in detail. Back then they didn't have as many variety of pre mixed oil paint shades.
Why do you not start with a pencil sketch?
Confused what does master copy mean ?
Is there a more earth friendly and non-toxic alternative to OMS? I was told I could use vegetable oil but I havent tried it yet
I paint with water based oilpaint...oilpaint you can mix with water...its great
its totat diferent like rembrandt..rembrandt use diferent techniques..
22 minutes?? I thought it had been 5, wow
Oh man... this is not right. You have to work with transparency.
Not quite there.
Esta bien copiar para aprender es buen camino...en el observar a un Maestro como Rembrandt --su toque de pincel--veras que son golpes francos (directos ,no insistidos ) Lo que no esta bien es mostrar como valedero lo que tu expones aquí...que tienes todo el derecho de exponer lo que tu quieras --Es tu Libertad de entender --Pero no esta bueno llevar confusión al que comienza pues no es buena escuela... Rembrandt jamás pintaría y repintaría sobre el mismo lugar ni ensuciaría su color lugar este en el que es fácil caer ---Ensuciar con Arte un color no es para cualquiera Rembrandt "ensuciaba quebrando en grises Limpios " pues era un genial pintor que LEIA su color con Arte --Como dije puedes tener la Libertad de hacer lo que gustes y es una lastima ya que solo aportas mas confusión al verdadero Arte .Saludos.
Hey yupari artist can i use acrylic paint?
I agree with most critiques here that while you undoubtedly have talent, tackling a master, especially Rembrandt's older self-portraits, would be unwise as your skills and analysis is still insufficient. To at least adequately copy a master, you need to study and apply his techniques and his tools, not yours. It is already clear that by not laying an outline you are not copying but applying your own style. Rembrandt's impasto uses multiple layers of thick highlights on his own approach to chiaroscuro, where dark areas, laid first, are flat and featureless. He is not the easiest old master to copy. Vermeer suits modern sensibilities, and most artists today start by copying him. Looking at your other videos, Vermeer is closer to your style.
Please devote more time to studying a master's personality, techniques, and tools before doing a copy because you are a talented artist and doing this will better equip you. I hope you can take our criticisms to mind and heart and come back with a better copy tutorial that demonstrates your acquisition of a master's skills.
يخرب بيتك بالع راديو
Your painting is amazing but at the beginning you twist Rembrandt's quote so that it no longer means what he meant it to mean. His quote, I think, was meant to convey that he is NOT a master and that ONLY nature is a master. I hope you understand that though you are a very good painter but Rembrandt, if he saw your videos today, probably wouldn't agree with the ideology of copying one of his paintings, but would prefer that you go outside and paint what you see. In any case, I don't mean to insult or offend. As a painter I've found your demonstration inspiring and useful but I just wanted to clear up what you said at the beginning of the video.

خیلی بد بود خودت ببین کاش شبیه رامبراند است
15 minutes in and at least 90% of this is just him rambling about himself or abstract ideas.
jay sullivan what would he talk about? You people always find something to complain about.
jay sullivan you would have to pay hundreds of dollars to hear this lecture from an artist in a classroom but he is doing it for free on youtube. I am going to listen even if he talks about the randomest shit ever.
That's cool. I don't have hundreds of dollars to waste on garbage education and I don't have time to waste on a 'painting tutorial' that doesn't even talk about painting.
I was just trying to help save us people's time and help people to understand what to avoid when creating a tutorial.
One of the big dangers of you tube is that anyone can set themselves up as an expert when in fact they really don't know anything about the subject. The problem is compounded by the fact that there is a seemingly endless supply of ignoramuses who know even less and who gush over the drivel that is presented to them. This guy Yupari is awfull, both as regards his lack of theoretical knowledge and as regards his "technical skill" which comes down to nothing more than ( imperfectly ) copying colored shapes from a photograph. He really needs to attend a good art school for a few years or spend a few years studying in the atelier of a proper artist. Thank goodness for just one discerning comment from Jay Sullivan.
Guess I'm one of the few who didn't like this. What I see is a VERY long video showing so much desultory work, and achieving so little in the end. Not a good likeness, and not well painted. While I approve of copying as a learning exercise, I think all the Master's lessons are lost when such poor practices are put into the copy. From the very start, I could tell that it would not come out well.
That's pretty bad!
not good ......
