In this video you will learn about:
• Starting in Grisaille, focusing on texture
• Painting with Jannik's "Rembrandt" medium and chalk
• Emulating the structure of skin to catch light in a realistic way
• Direction of strokes relating to the direction of light
• Using the ground as a middle tone
• Painting thinner to make colors grayer
• Keeping the interaction of different layers in mind
• The "Rembrandt application" actually not being that thick
• The importance of quick and short brush strokes
• Passive, warm shadows
• Painting on the whole motif simultaneously
• Illusion of details coming from texture
• "The Devil's Brush" and the back of the brush for detail
• Effects you get using your destroyed/worn brushes
