Thanks for visiting our RijksCreative Channel! This is where we share courses that teach you how to be creative, inspired by some of the world’s famous artists.
The RijksCreative Channel is produced by the Rijksmuseum. Other Rijksmuseum RU-vid Channels include RijksTube (launching end of January 2019) and Rijksmuseum.

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.
It’s unnecessary to say he was “classically trained”. He and his art don’t need to be justified like that. That always sounds like a cop-out toward abstract art.
Vermeer's portrait of a Young Woman is actually a better painting than Girl With the Pearl Earing. I produced a film that analyses Vermeer's masterful handling of edges. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-grZpd_TG4Sk.html
I’m sorry but this channel is the most naïve thing I’ve seen in a long time! Sorry not sorry for the criticism welcome to the art world! Do any of you guys have any formal training, and are you seriously making money off this channel? Yeah I’ve seen enough.
How is this in the spirit of Rembrandt. I'm sorry but Rembrandt's style was a consequence of his elevated technical skills. This guy is using ink washes. There's almost zero use of line. It's the complete opposite approach to Rembrandt.
I just found this channel and it is coming in very handy as I am taking watercolour botanical painting right now. Ingrid, you are very talented and I love all the tips you give throughout the demonstration. Your work is truly outstanding! I will be looking for more content like this and hopefully find more of your demonstrations (hopefully there are more). Bedankt! Greetings from 🇨🇦
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 ❤❤❤
It has been years since this came out and I still find this invaluable for understanding dutch baroque painting and learning from it in my own work. I would also highly suggest that you read Lisa’s research on material rendering.
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.
It looks nothing like a Karel Appel painting. As a painter interested in Appel for forty years I can say the techniques shown are not the ones used for the Appel on the left. Also Appel never smudges colours.
Hi. I have painted Oooops 'Really' Girl with the Pearl Earring and have found it a fascinating painting. I am now trying to paint the 'Milkmaid' and am really struggling with the colour tones on the sleeves.... I might have been a bit ambitious!!! Lovely effort in this construction, well done indeed! May I add an X. Thank you...
Thank you it helped me a lot ! I was struggling to finish a painting and it gave me a process to follow while I was lost on trial, error and self hate…
So, if Rembrandt and any other old master had painted like this, you could buy Rembrandt at the flea market today for a few dollars. Dear painters here on RU-vid: Do you really have no respect for anything or anyone anymore? Many amateur artists give instructions on how to paint a Carravagio, a Rembrandt, a Van Eyck, a Bouguereau, a...a.... But all is not even a hint of what is touted in the titles. An arrogant and pretentious new breed of smart alecks with no real knowledge, want to give here the impression of how the old masters painted. And the stupid viewers, who have never seen a Rembrandt etc. in "real" find this also still great. This is a dumbing down without borders! I am simply still speechless!
