Oh my God, I can't believe that UA-cam didn't recommend me this channel before. I visited Rijksmuseum four years ago. What a pleasant experience! I'm so glad I just found you!
Awww :( I wish I could have an art teacher like Mr. Lanfermeijer!!! He’s awesome :(((( I’d literally never get bored listening to him talk about art He has such a bright personality and you can really tell he has a love for art! Loved all of his little fun sound effects when describing the colors lol
Dear sir. Do I have to tell that I love your dutch accent. I loved this, even if I am familiar with paint makings since many years. I love when you say Rembrandt in a way that he would have said. I am a swedish old man, and understands just some words here and there, that we share, but I love the power and poetics in the dutch language. Many thanks for the tutorial.
He isn't actually grinding the vermillion (which is already ground) but rather mulling, which is distributing the pigment evenly throughout the binder (in this case, oil).
Wonderfull demonstration and you made it look so very basic to make the eggtempera that I really must try that. I also admired the palet of Rembrandt and your very fine way of showing how to put it up in order. Excellent and inspiring 🎶🧡🎵🎨
As someone going into paint making and making their own natural Pigments. This is a great stepping stone. I don't plan on doing insect paints 😅 but the way that standard colors came about from such desired things is interesting to me
Thanks a lot for this video,took me back to Rembrandt's Era! The whole process of preparing paint is so spiritual and exciting,I understand now why the end results are so beautiful and lasting longer for generations. Absolutely great remembering the stalwart, Rembrandt! The video is very clear and I like the demonstration,Ruth or Rud or the name of the artist here has done a wonderful presentation! Thanks!
I just started using my old eye shadows to make my own water colours with them - which works an eerily lot like making those oil colours, I just use a different binder which I make myself as well, when I'll run out on those, I start with actual mineral pigments 😊 It's so cool to see how these colours were made, making them myself is oddly calming and mesmerizing and painting with them all the more fun ❤❤❤
You can still buy lead-white, its not illegal, but it's expensive and comes with a lot of warning signs (see cremnitz white). Also to mix green it's best to use an already greenish blue and already greenish yellow, if you use an orangy yellow mixed with a purpely blue you'll end up with mud like this. Thirdly watch out while painting with vermilion (cadmium) it's almost as toxic as lead paint, don't throw a rag around your shoulder with fumes of terpentine mixed with cadmium paint if you don't want cancer and don't grind its powder on a plate without hand and breathing protection. And lastly, if you paint in thick oil paint it won't keep the exact shape you painted it in when it "dries" because the oil shrinks. I believe studies say Rembrandt added chalk and ground glass and sand and all sorts of weird shit to make his impasto effects. I know this is a basic how to video, but you've got to inform people correctly on this shit (especially as the rijksmuseum) because people can get serious health issues.
Some artists used turmeric to create a yellow ochre, there was a period in history during the 1st Afghan War when turmeric was used as rations for the military as a preservative so during that period you will very seldom see those colours in a paintings.
If I make my own oil paint can I store it in a small glass jar or a plastic squeeze tube( like the ones for lip gloss or lotion) or does it have to be an aluminum tube?
Hopefully, the vermillion didn't have any mercury in it, because you wouldn't want to breath in that powder. Usually, people wear a mask when making paints with powder pigments.
I want to make paints over lockdown but can't afford a glass muller at the moment, why are the glass mullers so important? - can I be very DIY and just use the bottom of a glass or something haha?
I use both for my ww2 models for weathering the vehicles never used the egg though inwas looking for a pigment binder inuse enamel thinner with pigments for all different dust oil and streak n grime to rust effects! And using oils is a bog part of it but we have to squeeze abit of paint out on a bit of cardboard to soak up the linseed oil or it just doesn't stick to plastic or metals and again thinner with enamel thinner is perfect for streaking from bolts like oil n grime with burnt umber yellow ochre titanium white dotted about on a Sherman or a Russian t34 and pulled down streaking in the base coats of the Russian and olive drabs it really gives a beautiful worn weathered effect to vehicles! Some of the best artists are modelers these days replicated weathering effects isn't easy! Can't just slap it on and make it look natural and to the correct scale! Refinement is key! I don't think I'll try the egg its nothing to soak into on plastic so will rot and smell
i had no idea carmine/crimson was made from lice and i laughed everytime he emphasized the fact that it was. Also, i will no longer pronounce umber as that but as umberrrrrrrrrrrrrr lmao love this man
Hi. You said "the best paint in the world" adding egg yolk in oil paint. Would it crack with canvas stretching and folding? Egg yolk doesn't polimerise into elastic film.
He forgot to mention that yellow was made from cow urine........... Imagine the poor bloke who had to collect it and boil it until a dry residue was left. You need a LOT of urine to make a cup full of yellow powder...........
@@telescopereplicator I thought the only time European painters used urine for yellow is when they imported Indian Yellow. I thought they've always used minerals for yellow instead.
I loved your video! could you tell me if ceramic paint pigment is the same as for oil paints? Someone gave me a BUNCH for ceramics and would like to use them for oil paint too if possible.
The closest substitutes for Rembrandt pallette colors : Zinc White Lamp black Sienna ( the same pigment as 1000 years ago) Ochre ( same) RAW umber I didn’t see any good Cassel Earth, sorry. May be Mars Brown transparent can make the deal ( reddish brown vs greenish brown of raw umber) Madder -ok. Krapplack is ok Carmine or Scarlet Aureoline or brilliant yellow deep from Blockx Ultramarine Cyan or Thalene Blue PS ultramarine gives a muddy green. Use other blue. It is my personal experience.
Though I agree with many colors, Zinc white is very problematic. Yes, it is a nice subtle transparent white much like Lead white, but it also gets very brittle in time. And may peel off the canvas or at least cause cracking. I use titanium white mixed with marble dust in oil. Makes it more transparent and subtle in mixtures, though this is also not a great idea because marble dust in oil yellows considerably - not desirable for white paint. I guess there isn’t a good substitute for Lead white. Also on a chemical level, where Lead white creates an incredible paint film
Also, vermillion was used often, but there aren’t any good substitutes for it. Cadmium red is also poisonous, and is also much stronger than vermillion (which is a very kind color in mixtures)
Sounds like he said lice because it he said it lived exclusively on a cactus in Mexico and I can’t imagine seeing rice alive and well living on a cactus in Mexico so is that what we’re supposed to go get? Yikes!
@@michellemcdonald269 it's called Cochinilla, in English Cochineal bug, is actually a small bug that grows in the nopal cactus. The color obtained by them is called Carmine. It costs around 140 USD a kilo of them here in Mexico.
Technically they are the same thing, oil pressed from the flax seed (aka linseed). You have to be careful though. While many languages do not make the distinction in English "linseed" is used to describe the oil when prepared for paint or wood treatment purposes, this oil is likely solvent extracted and may contain toxic siccatives and is thus not suitable for consumption, whilst "flaxseed" is used to refer to an oil prepared for culinary use which may contain mucilage or added antioxidants (to prevent it from going rancid) that make it unsuitable for use as a paint medium. Artist grade linseed oil can be prepared from [unadulterated] flaxseed oil by washing out the mucilage. If all the steps are done using food safe methods and materials then the end result will remain food safe, but you **cannot** make that assumption for any oil if not processed by yourself or a trusted source. To stay safe don't use oil marked as "linseed" on your salad (or any culinary application).
I take it from the way he is handling it that the vermilion was not real vermilion (HgS) although it does cover like real vermilion. Nickel Titanium Yellow? Isn't that anachronistic? Surely, lead tin yellow, unless he has been given the wrong paint. You can make your own Azurite paint - the ground pigment is not hard to get hold of and the real thing looks nothing like the grey-blue in the video. White????? Waar is het wit? You can make your own lead white (the stuff that Rembrandt used) by rotting small rolls of roofing lead with strong vinegar for half a year then grinding the flakes under water in a mortar and pestle, letting it settle, wash it a few times then dry out, add oil and grind into paint. Treat it with more respect than you see the vermilion treated in the video and you will have a beautiful white that will not kill all of your colours in the way that titanium white does.
The lead paint is only a health hazard when you ingest it in some way. You are right that it's superior to TW (at least in terms of mixing and flexibility). I'll happily paint with it (without getting paint on my hands ) but I will leave the manufacturing of it to someone else.
Depends on what you mean. The yolk is a binding agent, it's not a solvent. Unless you intend to grind the pastels down for pigment (to mix that into the yolk to make your tempera) you are likely just going to end up with an eggy mess. The pastels already contain a binder, sometimes water soluble, that may (or may not) react deleteriously with the yolk. If you wish to use the yolk as a fixative you may end up smearing the pastels instead. The parts that don't smear will likely ultimately flake off. It's worth an experiment.
who else is doing a chemistry lesson in lockdown
gangg
no one asked
GANG SHIT
first things first: many pigments do not bind with water. question: what do you do?

You can see this guy doesn't cook by the way he takes the yolk out.
Actually, thats the proper way how you do it. My chef told me only to do it by hand, because you have more control and less egg white
@@Last_Whisper42 I ment that he wasted the egg white. A true cook would have saved it to eat later.
