Painting a Rembrandt old man 

The Pre-Drawing was sketched on Paper before to catch the values and proportions right, then it was probably directly copied by this drawing using charcoal, graphit or another medium that easily sticks on paper. So you blacken the backsite of your drawing until its completely covered, than you put the drawing on your easel , take a pen again and just re-draw the basic features by following the finished lines. Because the backside is black under recognition of the pen pressure you exactlyapply the drawing on the canvas without painting it again from the beginning. You can add on this basic drawing more information if you want, like adding shadows, what may or not may help ypou later by blocking it in, when you use actual colour, when you begin your underpainting, remind an underdrawing is not an underpainting . Thats the basics of european renessaince-art.

No sorry, this was one of my first vids, done with an eos 7d which produces much data... to much for my notebook so I deleted it.

Normally I wait until it is completely dried. It takes 1-2 days for it.

not sure but i have layed a game with this soundtrack. Trying to remember what it was

Now an expert Joss, but this more and anything else is what's called the underplainting: set the stage for later applications and values. hope that helps.

It helps when using the glaze tinting and layering technique; although it wasn't really used extensively in this case.

What is it though?

@@jojones4685 probably burnt umber diluted with liquid turpentine.

I agree with Harshad K, burnt number with mineral spirits. That's what I use.

Some years ago I used Old Holland but then I began to make my own colour.

Please provide some references to how he did paint. Thanks.

@@harshadk4595 where are the references that he did paint in this technique?
