Rembrandt Knew Something We Didn’t – His Palette Explained

Everything I know about Rembrandt's methods and techniques: https://www.benvalentine.com/rembrandt Summary In this video I share my interpretation of Rembrandt's palette based off studies of his paint layers. A primarily earth color palette, we go deep into the anatomy of this palette and the versatility and utility of the ancient pigments. Painting flesh tones will be significantly easier once you understand this palette.

About me: Getting a late start in art, my journey didn’t truly begin until I was 30, when a book by Juliette Aristides opened my eyes to the world of classical painting. Eager to learn, I devoured every book and video I could find. While I studied locally in Southern California, I struggled to find instruction focused on the Old Masters and long-form studies. Without the means to attend an atelier in NYC or Italy, I turned to the internet, spending four years intensely studying and copying Old Master works. What started as a tedious practice became a passion as I saw real progress in my fundamentals and technique. Through my own challenges, I’ve discovered my mission as an instructor—to be a resource for those who, like me, couldn’t pursue formal education but are determined to master their craft. I hope to help others achieve their artistic goals, no matter their starting point.
