RE: Drawing Rembrandt - A study in 4 colour chalk - Original content for Steemit
Wow. Seriously, just wow.
Has Rembrandt been a big inspiration for you? I notice you have a similar "feel" to your style... maybe it's the use of hilights..?
Really, I'm in awe.
Thank you @offbeatbroad - yeah i really love Rembrandt, he's the master of light. I'm still trying to work out what my style is. I want to work on refining down to a 'less is more' style rather than a full photorealistic rendering and Rembrandt was a master of this. Capturing light is what gives an image life in my opinion, especially in portraits. Everything we see is just a reflection of light bouncing off a form and into our eyes, so trying to draw/paint with that in mind is the style i'm working towards.
