then when you stop laughing buy this book and read what this fellow
chemistry/science expert,
someone actually known, says about "the old master secret mediums":
The Artist's Handbook of Materials and Techniques
by Ralph Mayer
Then after that, go to your site "studioproducts.com" and read this on it:
Maroger's Medium
If anything was ever the "secret
medium" of the masters, this is it. Black
Oil mixed with Double Mastic Varnish
produces a chemical reaction resulting
in an amber-colored gel. Once you stop
brushing it, it sets up to hold every detail
in the brushstroke. No matter how thick
you paint the strokes, they won't sag and check what you are selling as
"
Then when people realize that they are being taken for a ride by someone
who
knows nothing of old master technique or traditional painting , especially
Rembrandt,
maybe they will save a few dollars. I would love to explain how Rembrandt
achieves
various effects since I have 1- studied master works in person, 2- Read all
of
the up-to-date
current info. on Rembrandt, and "old master medium" info.3- spent many
many hours
and years of trial and error work. But since I am sure only Rob Howard would
turn around
and sell this information to people under his own name, I may as well stay
silent here.
How could Rob Howard sell "the secrets of the old masters"
as Maroger Medium, then say he knows about Rembrandt,?? And even
suggest a book
that destroys his own argument??.
My only advice if you want the answers to Rembrandt,
Paint paint paint. And learn from what the scientists have to offer.
90 percent of a Rembrandt painting has nothing to do with medium,
so USE BASIC TOOLS. Remember, Rembrandt desired medieval type
approaches
to painting, sorry but if I am not vague Rob Howard will probably try to pass
on good
information I have as his own puny ideas as he does with other people.
Good luck. In a while I can post up close images when i get a connection-
this isn't my connection, besides, the 6 paintings I'm doing aren't finished,
and reflect
the new ideas I have learned. Even if I posted a picture of a painting I did
at
17,
it would be better than Rob Howard's photoshop art. If you use photos, use
only to sketch
what will be in the painting.
