The Greek Approach | Guided Tour of Bellini, la Tour and Rembrandt at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm
Jan-Ove Tuv visits the National Museum in Stockholm to look at Giovanni Bellini, Georges de la Tour and Rembrandt. Join him as he talks about some surprising similarities in their painting techniques.

• How these painters work with "flat", vibrant planes
• Rembrandt as a grey/green painter (not brown)
• Rembrandt as "un-Baroque"
• Painting movement
• How Titian, Leonardo, Apelles and Aristotle influenced Rembrandt
• The point of the "Sketch-like" technica macchia
• How one stroke can save the whole form
• Painting things as they appear in your side vision
• The importance of making two different eyes
• Painting light itself
Chapters:
01:30: Giovanni Bellini "Dead Christ"
09:12: Georges de la Tour's "St. Jerome"
15:35: Rembrandt's "The Kitchen Maid"
17:48: Rembrandt's "Claudius Civilis"

    Traditional method with variations available: 1- Prepare the glue: Dissolve the rabbit glue in hot water, leaving it to soak for a few hours until it is well dissolved. 1¹ - Or use PVA glue. 2- Calcium carbonate mixture: Mix the calcium carbonate with water until it forms a thin paste. Combination: Add the dissolved glue or PVA glue to the calcium carbonate mixture, mixing well until the consistency is uniform. Application: Apply the gesso to the canvas or wood in thin layers, waiting for it to dry completely between layers. Typically, 8 to 12 layers were applied, depending on the desired thickness. Sanding: After drying, the surface was sanded with fine sandpaper to create a smooth texture, ideal for painting. Sandpaper 600+ Ingredients: 1 part calcium carbonate (or plaster powder) 1 part PVA glue (white glue) 4 parts water Eggshells and bones in general can also be used, but you need to remove proteins and lipids first, by heating them in hot water and grinding them. Eggshells are basically made of calcium carbonate. You can heat the eggshells and bones directly to turn them into calcium oxide, which is highly reactive. Calcium oxide is also known as quicklime. After this transformation that occurs after carbonization, you use demineralized water to hydrate it (distilled water). This hydration transforms the calcium oxide into the purest calcium carbonate.

    Most use thinner for a Misbegotten idea it makes the thin layer they have been told to use in the starting of a picture. If you get the oil too thin the paint does not bond onto the canvas very well because there is a reduction in the number oil molecules. Better to understand a little chemistry here. Acrylic paint can be used as a "thin layer" on an acrylic primer. Just again, do not dilute it too thinly. Understand you are putting plastic paint onto a plastic primer. How ever acrylic will not adhere to oil paint but oil paint will adhere to plastic, if it is put down as the second layer and on top of the plastic. It is best to allow an acrylic underpainting to dry 2 days and then begin to apply your oil paint. Plastic does not go on top of oil.

    80 grit!? Ok, I guess your canvas is made using Brutalism techniques anyway... I never take anything less than 220 grit on my panels. Panels. Taking sandpaper onto a textured canvas- I would be afraid I'd get into the bare canvas using 80 grit- doesn't take much. I use automotive sand papers to wet sand a well dried painting, just to prep the surface for new layers. 600, and 800 grits make very little impact on the look of the piece, but abrade the surface well enough that the surface tension is broken and you can start with far better adhesion. The finer the grit, the better the "scratching" and more tooth is imparted into the surface ironically so, due to the smaller grains, it can do this with less impact over the surface. Wet sanding also allows you to sand cadmium and lead without fear of dust... so all you need is gloves and lots of paper towels to clean up. The smaller grits leave the integrity of the layers intake, but offers the benefit of adhesion for the next layers. So, I guess I am saying- right idea, wrong execution? (yeah... I went there... lol)

    I use linseed oil first, and then got into walnut/linseed oil mix, then walnut/stand oil, then walnut/safflower. I'm using linseed oil like an accelerant. I use more additives in the last layer- like glass or silica to make the surface glisten or whatever- more glaze- so I want less yellowing to happen in the future. Linseed oi has a tension to it- due to the fact that it develops a skin, and if you have a thicker layer of oil, this tension could build and be a factor in the future by the way the oil layer has tension. This is why it will crack and peel like a dry lakebed in a hundred years or so. That curling is the tension pulling from the top that dried faster.

      They used pumice stones, or pumice- sandpaper would not be a thing for a long time yet due to the inconvenience of gluing- paper was expensive and attaining abrasives to form a good abrasive surface over paper- too much work. A pumice stone imparts its own slurry of pumice, and makes a nice polishing effects as you go- there is a technique all of its own to this method, and it has advantages involving the flat nature of the stones- anyway... perhaps they might learn this and do a video about it??
