Since it is almost impossible to see a shadow on it (at least in the video) because so much of the light is absorbed, much of the detail inside is lost.

Paintings
Since I am the only one willing to pose whenever I want to paint, I have done another self-portrait!
Still exploring Rembrandt’s materials & techniques. I made the ground as he used to, with silica sand & Stand oil (excellent texture & absorbency), & am grinding the same pigments he used into paint as I go.
There is so much to learn from the master that I experiment with different things on each painting to avoid the confusion of trying it all at once–but I am incorporating the lessons as I go. In this one I have re-introduced black (practically banned since the Impressionists) not as a colour (black made from mixing other colours is not as rare) but as a pigment that makes unique new colours when mixed with others. For a while, in his late period, Rembrandt used only bone black, lead white, vermillion & yellow Ochre. You would never guess his palette was so limited, because of the range you can get from mixing black with warm colours.
