I am a Dutch artist and I studied Rembrand at the academy a long time ago. Your search for Rembrant is very beautiful to see. You are a talented artist. Rembrant did not work from the shadows like you did, but he always went out from the light. he was the master of the light. I am also fascinated by your technique, really great.
Awesome! I’m going to read up more about his technique as well. Thanks for the comment.
Tanks. I dont speek english, you speek for me. And adict, were the fat inks in ligth? And dirt in deep of texture? Rembrandts studie make with tecnic about chiaro oscuro, and magic of passione.
I love how Slew is a graffiti artist who is educating us on the foundation!
Speak for yourself rook, his foundational skills are awful
@@trahapace150 ur being negative as hell for what
@@trahapace150 slew is the first to say he’s no expert but your extremely negative comments have no value or purpose. If that’s what makes you feel good maybe ask yourself why .
The human potential collected in museums is humbling, all of that traditional work, most done slowly in solitude, reminds us what the human brain can create and what it can express. Here's one you might like looking into: Francis Bacon's Study of Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X (1953).
I wouldn't imply most of the old masters were slow painters, but yeah I agree otherwise. Especially the likes of Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent, Vermeer. Pretty crazy the level at which they made art.
the shots from the almost empty museum at the beginning are so amazing and pretty! and the painting is so dope you really did a good job on this one I think!!
Thanks!
your videos are always so calming and aesthetically pleasing to look at, youre by far one of my favorite artist youtubers, thank you so much for making these videos
thanks for watching! Nothing but love!
Dang I could listen to Slew talk about painting all day! Glad to have found the channel
David Leffel is a great source to study Rembrandt style oil painting. He calls his approach massing. Drawing is linear & painting is mark making, focused on mass. U will love it. Thanks again for the content, stay well ✌🏻😷
I started watching you after your colab with ten hundred. Initially, I'll admit, I didn't take you very seriously as an artist. I thought, oh here is another street art kid just doing a CZcams channel. Then I started watching you more and I began to realize I was wrong about you. You are a true artist who appreciates the finer aspects of art. It impresses me to see someone of your generation with as much interest in fine art as you have. I'll admit that I don't know much about art, I'm more into the history behind it. Maybe one of these days I'll get to go to The Met and see it in person. Keep up the great work and keep improving.
I love Rembrandt. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤❤🥰
you should check out "Tim's Vermeer" documentary if you havent already, you'll love it!
I’ll have to check that out
2nd this - it’s incredible
Kind of incredible these 16th Century portrait sitters for Rembrandt are still sitting for Artists four plus centuries into the future. 🤔🌌🌎💜🙏🏻
In South Africa this painting is called Jan van Riebeeck. 😁
😂😂😂
really glad I came across this channel. I recently just visited the MET for the first time and I fell in love with it.
Absolutely incredible. I love hearing, and seeing, your thought process from inception to completion. Amazing!
I just found your channel literally yesterday bro ! And God damn I'm so inspired by you !! Thank you fr ! Much love from Texas!!
I LOVE that Your moms house is playing in the background. Great painting!
You should check out the Baumgartner Restoration channel, he restores old and broken paintings and its very mesmerizing to watch
Yess I love him heheh
Yes, I immediately thought about Baumgartner when he was talking about the grime on the old paintings.
Love your enthusiasm, attitude, talent and dedication to going deeper! xx
I love how much you've improved over time. Love your work. Thanks for making quarantine more interesting!
Love the honesty in your knowledge. Love this video!!!!
WOW I will cherish those shots of the museum that you took! So amazing dude
I am very impressed with the way you are able to achieve Rembrandt's application style, I commend you for not over-blending.
This is a process critique so do with it what you will. I've noticed a lot of 17th century paintings are built from a very very dark foundation; like variations of raw umber and black. The lightest areas of the paintings often have the heaviest application. Starting with a very dark prime (you could even try black gesso) gives you really stark colors and it also helps you understand the overall value relationships in the paintings (essentially the darkest shadows are already present and can inform your decisions). It also gives you the opportunity to build your highlights, its always easier to adjust from dark to light.
Lastly, I love your channel.
love using this palette, just started oil painting and wanted to try it out because you mentioned it and its awesome.
I love that you had the place mostly to yourself. I can absolutely relate to the feeling of being in a spectacular building like that mostly alone. I live next to the Nelson Atkins Museum in downtown Kansas City, MO. Every once in awhile I catch these special moments where these huge buildings are somehow almost empty, and you’re left surrounded left and right with thousands of antiquities. It’s a beautiful experience.
Most excellent. enjoyed watching your process.
Very much appreciate the tour of the MET.
My best advice which made me go "AH HA!" that I can give you for tackling your "chalkiness":
There is a great CZcamsr you might know already named Andrew Tischler and he is always stressing this issue in many of his older videos (the ones with the huge lake for example):
Don't rush with your lighter tones! Keep them for the last final touches. I like to think of it as the bonus level you get when you "mastered" your darker and mid-tones. You don't get to skip forward in this process and the "punishment" for that is chalkiness.
When you change your perspective about that whole idea, you will soon be cringing when you see someone else doing that.
That's why Rembrandt's painting are so marvellous, he pushes his highlights way backwards so they look like a little spark in the dark. Which take a great amount of patients.
I paint with oil already for a while now and I love watching your videos and your fascination with oils! Keep on going :)
So so dope!! watching you create your pieces makes me want to try working with values. love how you self critique to keep pushing yourself to improve! Love your channel slew!
Your extremely gifted!
I love this so much. I'm having serious travel and museum withdrawal. Thank you for this!
You are so talented Slew. Thank you for sharing. I smashed the bell hard.
Love your work😍 quel talent!!!!! Merci pour les vidéos nous ne pouvons qu apprendre et s ameliorer en vous regardant peindre. Je suis heureuse de vous connaître et de ne pas passer à côté de votre talent et des techniques que vous nous partagez. Un grand MERCI !!!!!! You are the best!👍
Love the boldness of your art style! your channel is what inspired me to start my Art channel. Keep up the amazing work!
This quality is amazing, just like your content! You are incredibly talented, and I´m glad I found your channel!!
That’s was so beautiful i love how you can make painting so easy to artist, you so talented
Yet another absolutely great video. Nice work Slew 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
I just painted a mastercopy of rembradts portrait of a man with a golden helmet - it seems like theres been lots of rembrandt interest over the past couple months which I love!!
I think more videos in this style and process would be awesome. I absolutely love it. Sick work my man thanks for sharing
I love the artwork. Turned out great. That museum looks like a cool place to visit. If I ever make it to New York, I will have to go. 🎨
Awesome as alwaysss
This is so inspiring. Love it.
was in the met a couple of weeks ago myself, such a magical place. Not being from here I don't take these marvelous places for granted. Great video, painting, and the sketches too!
I love this guy. Every day I'm always watching his video even if i watch it a hundred times i just love it i love how he express his work and i can see that he love his art so much every piece of his art is awesome. Your my hero slew
Enjoyed the video. Nice study. Appreciate your positive attitude and willingness to learn and improve
Dope stuff. Keep it up.
You have really inspired me! Keep posting!
Oh yeah, Great video. thanks for sharing
So jealous! One of my favorite things to do in normal times is go the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and sit on one of the benches and draw in. They actively encourage it and often have live drawing workshops in the entrance. In that aspect I too always feel spoiled that I get to easily some of our old masters and get inspired and awed.
Amazing Video! Well done
I say it every time, you are amazing slew ! 😍
Nice Slew! Dope museum visit! We got the MFA here in Boston, also like totally empty haha
I love your oil painting videos so much
Great video, Slew!
You are the real deal too! Don't apologize. You are a joy, and your videos are so real. Very appreciated. Thank you for the videos and the tour of the museum. Time for me to become a patron. You are so much better than you think you are. Humble and wonderful. Thank you!
That footage from the museum was amazing man. I’d straight up watch hours of that panning over stuff in there. Thanks for sharing 🤙
Thanks for watching brotha!
Keep working and never stop trying to learn. It is how you stay alive as an Artist, well it is one opinion. Nicely done SLEW!
I love this channel, I enjoy the content here.
i love yours too like i do slew's !!! you both amazing !
1 minute in and I already love this video!!🥰. This museum is beautiful!
Go down to the Home Depot and get yourself some 1/8" ply cut for practice canvases. Forget the illustration board, I draw a map out of an entire 4x8 sheet in canvas sizes I like to work with and give it to the person running the saw to cut up so nothing is wasted.
I also gesso with a 3" paint knife to speed up the surface prep time too.
I’ve painted on wood quite a bit before. I have a massive amount of illustration board as well as masonite laying around! I prefer it over wood.
These series are wonderful to watch. I rarely get a chance to copy a painting like this. Each time you are approaching a new painting, I see improvement. I would love to see you tackle a painting and get more refined with it. To be so close, and yet those last bit of details would send these paintings over the top. :) I continue to watch you, just for the simple fact that I need that extra push to do. more with my art. I truly thank you for showing how you progress. Would love to be in that studio to soak in all the ambience.
Ahhh you were in my city!Awesome stuff.
Wow thank you so much quality content !
Possible series that ends in another self portrait?!
The painting at 1:20 just blew me away
The ASMR section of the board prep was a nice touch
Those shots were straight up out of a documentary! Thank you slew, hope to one day see the real thing 🙏🏽
dope vid man. great panoramic setting and a good study (and it is just a study) it is not at all the result that matters it is the way you got there. it is 100%
Rembrandt was also a master at transitions and grey tones. Not to mention his supernatural textures.
Slew the crack! Saludos desde arg
I think you did such a great job you nailed it👍🏻
Much love !
I freakin love the Tenebrism! It’s so cool to have that extreme darkness and contrast it with highlights on the face. I just love the boldness to do that, Rembrandt really was a G. Also we can totally critique your work if you want haha you’re on the Internet, we can hit you with the Feldman Method so fast 😂👌🏻 good work dude
I love it! I’ll be joining your Patreon soon once I get paid this weekend. This came out wonderful! :)
I am still a beginner and hobbyist in painting. I found a trick on my own for getting my values to better match my reference or a photo I took. I take the reference and put it on my iPad, I use a drawing app called Procreate then I use the eye dropper tool to get the exact color of a spot I’m having trouble replicating on my art board or canvas. I’m sure the same can be done with many other apps. It makes me feel like a cheaty McCheater hack doing it but my values and tones tend to come out better when I use all the resources I have at my disposal.
oh my GOD this is amazing
There is a dutch painting television programme called 'project Rembrandt', second season on tv now. They also have an online competition till 29 nov. Its not the best painting programme I've seem but I do like the online competition to see how many different paintings can come out of one reference session.
Not only is your work on the painting amazing, but your photography at the MET was stunning dude!
Theres a place i want to spend a day getting lost inside!
Thank you!
More masters, more oils..more more more..awesome
An excellent instructional demo (and great footage of The Met.). Bravo!!! If I may, I'll add a comment or two: the yellowness of the paintings is partly because of the varnish (and the yellowing of the linseed oil). The Old People knew what they were doing, and they depended on the varnish's yellowing to give a mellowness to the work after a few months'. They didn't expect that the varnish wouldn't be removed for some centuries (it's supposed to be replaced every 6 to 10 years), and that it would be left to darken and turn brown. In addition, the paintings are photographed under a warm light (such as halogen); so, the reproductions (particularly the older ones) are much too yellow-orange. Stephen Bauman (a great modern Realist painter) is right to make them cooler, using Photoshop.
One more thing: I don't recommend using illustration board, nor Liquitex gesso. Most acrylic gessoes are just acrylic paint, while Golden Gesso is a real gesso made from calcium carbonate and a flexible synthetic glue (traditional gesso was calcium carbonate and rabbit-skin glue). All synthetic gessoes need to be cut with a very small amount of water-the water evaporates, leaving a trillion tiny holes in the final coat of gesso (two or three coats are necessary), giving the oil paint something to grab hold of. Oil paint will not adhere permanently to what amounts to a sheet of plastic (gesso with no water).

Your aesthetic is amazing, and you have swords on your table! 😉 One of my favorite artist has quoted this... "The odious critic will not only scoff the rose, but devour the shit it grows in"
As an artist with years experience, I understand the need for critic and have at times, become my own worst. We learn this way as well. I can see you are a shining star, a true artist born for this and I say keep on your path and make mistakes and success you will learn from! I love Rembrandt btw and you are doing your own amazing version of a masters work.
All art is a unique stamp in the eye of the beholder. 👁
First time viewer and loved it and share your passion!
Bernie in Sydney
I had heard somewhere that he mixed his paints with different properties to get the effects he wanted. Some of the paint was thinner, some thicker or textured etc. If that's true I am in even more awe of his skill
incredible process! love your selected and little choice of paint colors! i was thinking what if you neglect the whites during your proces and only add it with the final stage of details! u created an underlay but did not use it. the wonder of oil paints is that they can be transparant and opaque.
love your work👌🏻 Cheers! Greetings from Amsterdam.
When Rembrandt’s wife Saskia died he was completely heartbroken. After finding solace with Hendrickje, he started using light in his work again
About 100 more dabs of paint forming layers with different skin tones & values. Rembrandt certainly spent many more hours on these paintings. I respect ur work & u show great appreciation for the artist u r copying. Vincent Desiderio has a university lecture on CZcams where he demonstrates this approach (even breaking the edge of paint with his finger dab to curve the form)
They should make a new season of la casa de papel where they steal a painting and you're the artist who makes the replica to replace it with. You're really talented.
The quality of theses videos👌🏼
You're awesome!
Hey SLEW! For what you said about using too much white/light, check out a ‘Gray Scale & Value Finder’. It’s only a few bucks and it will help you to choose a better matching value. I have one from The Color Wheel Company. They are available on Amazon etc. Good luck and I love watching you paint 🎨 💪 ✨
Ah and I just thought of a way to ‘correct’ a value/color, which is glazing. A technique that Rembrandt used a lot! You can just darken an are with e.g. van dyke brown.
I love it a young person NOT playing a video game! This gives me hope for humanity.
Rembrandt a master of shadow!
That museum looks absolutely amazing, now I wanna go there...
Unfortunately I live on the other side of the world (and have no money lol) so maybe in 50 years😅
The Met is one of my favorite places
Love to see that YMH podcast in the background, btw great work!
good..keep on learning and get better
cheers !!!
You are my favorite CZcamsr by far
This whole video is beautiful, the painting, the way it's shot, all art. May I ask; what kind of camera did you use for the shots in the museum? I've enjoyed your video as usual!
Well that is pretty sick
I believe, maybe not at all museums but there are some where you can schedule an appointment to paint one of the paintings live.
I really enjoyed the video man. I have been to the Met about 5 or 6 times. I never brought a sketch book or anything like that. Next time I do go will bring stuff for sure. Your piece came out great. Later bro....✌🏼
Your mom must be very proud of you🥺🥺
