hmm, i am starting to think Stumpy is another Rob Howard made fake name, due to the
rapid response to my post, as Rob Howard immediately replies after Stump...umm. Schizophrenic?
I could be wrong, but I don't think so as you can see a history of consectively posted
questions that are very similar at similar times. And the rapidity of the reply is scary, meaning
that no matter what hour of the day it is posted, Rob Howard answers it in a few minutes
often. Scary. Anyway, I suggest you get Ralph Mayer's book on technique for painting,
and see what he says about master "additives". Someone who could spin big Rob's
head with knowledge of chemistry. Ralph Mayer says you only need regular oil paint
and a lot of skill, as I also know. I forgot to mention that I think Rembrandt is not that
great of a painter anyway, as I find it dull in color and boring in subject. When i said
how did the medieval painters depicted form, you putz, i mean't texturally you pathetic
insecure opportunistic ape. By the way what are you talking about? I went to an art school. Guess what?
It was a waste. They did not know a goddamn thing about this type of painting, and actually said I
should go to another school to learn it, then saw that the "other school" teachers sucked.
I painted better than the teachers, and they only
insulted me because of their pathetic insecurity..
Despite the fact that Nerdrum is kind of a jerk as a person, he is a great painter,
I won't insult him as the jealous Rob Howard does. About technique- Unfortunately no schools will teach you this,
and they are pathetic approximations and guesswork. I will show you close-ups of
areas that show what i am talking about eventually, when the painting are finished. (if paintings ever are).
So if you want to paint with what Rembrandt had in mind, then go past it, , DON"T pay for a college
education to get it. They will not help, your self-teaching will teach you enough.
0% of what i learned came from school, 100% came from solo study.
The old masters are dead, they are just a stepping stone to great art for the present, and
have little to do with what we want to convey other than emotion and some larger themes.
It is the medieval approach that separates Rembrandt from the others, to compensate
for his apparent lack of "drawing" ability compared to his predecesors.
Ah, I see Rob Howard continues to attack me personally, how sad.
Don't forget to buy his books and products!! at studioproducts.com!!
