Hello Becca, im here for the workshop again, wow, is rembrandt. 
I was mighty peeved to not have had the time to partake in the carravaggio copies (something I will do of my own accord in oils at some point in the future for my own benefit) but when this showed up I thought I’m just going to have to make time! I saw more than one Rembrandt in real life in amsterdam a couple of years back, and they were magnificent to behold, in the felsh, to see how much paint he managed to get onto the canvas, the way he created texture with it. It really becomes apparent in RL how he builds his colour up to light too… so thats what I’m doing here. Started with a very very dark red-brown background as I find black too lifeless. And this is a great challenge to get to grips with some of the textures in PS too. And even so little time in there is some quality work! Zhu, amazing as usual, instantly recognisable, even with those few strokes, and it’s your work thats convinced me to let go more with this piece. Hiiri, a fantatsic start there, i really love the colour variation in his hands. Aggie If you do go with oils, try starting with black and working up to the highlights, then you won’t! Also, try mixing it with a faster drying medium… I can’t recall what it is that I use, but it’s workable on within about 24hours and dries with a lovely glossy sheen.
And here’s my start, working mostly with PS’s natural brushes a couple of self made brushes and some brushes downloaded from here: http://www.cybia.co.uk/brushes/. About two hours work so far. Also… does anyone know if there’s any higher res versions or detail shots of this anywhere?
Rebeccak:thanks~!
ceresz:of course i will finish it.
hiiri: great update~! check these 2 image links and get the bristle brush,enjoy~~~:)

Hmm, strange! I don’t know what the answer is, but I recommend posting a thread here:

Bear in mind that the webmaster is in a different timezone (Australia) but if you post a thread and subscribe to it, you are likely to get an answer.
Sometimes I have problems with my preferred browser, Firefox, and have to switch to IE temporarily to post replies. I don’t know why this is, but Firefox usually works 95% of the time.
Enrique,
Fantastic to see you back, and I can’t wait to see what you produce! :bounce:There are no jerks this side of the Forum, so no worries. 
Zephyri,
Wow, great start!!! This is going to be a great Workshop!
zhuzhu,
WOW! You’ll probably do all 4 of these in a week!
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
Zephyri, that’s just GORGEOUS! I’m stunned. Great work, can’t wait to see the rest of the stages.
zhuzhu: I like how it is turning out. Heads are fun to paint! I’ll have a look at your thread, thanks!
Rebaccak: I’ll do that if this continues. I’m using Firefox too, I guess that’s what’s causing problems. Thanks though.
Thanks Becca, this is my lineart, the first step, I did this in a sketch book, then I scanned it, and after I cleaned up in PS.
Looks like the start of another great painting Enrique!
EDIT: Zephyri, I don’t know of another source for a larger version unfortunately ~ but actually I think if you click on the version that is in the artrenewal link, it might take you to a higher res version.
Cheers,
~Rk
Looking good DigitalSol !
I think I have to adjust my monitor, I can barely see what he’s holding (in the original). Hmpf.
Here’s the last update for today(today here anyway), a little work on the face. Doesn’t look like him yet, the expression eludes me. Tomorrow! heads to bed
Hi guys. I just got my life back and i’m hoping to take part in this workshop. I must say, these are already some of the most wonderful WIPs I’ve ever seen!
Zhu, hiiri, Zephyri, DigitalSol – hats off to you for producing such quality so quickly. Can’t wait to see how it all progresses…
The first effort, about 1.5 hr. I tried to get the whole image and restrain myself from zooming in (too much)! The face is so hard to capture…i’ll keep trying…
