Hehe must have looked silly indeed. I also have an odd experience from a exhibition in Finland. It was the time when I was excessively fascinated by the Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck. And when i stood in front of her painting in the exhibition hall then I just had to touch it...flysoup, on Feb 27 2008, 09:00 PM, said:
I know what you mean. There was a Rembrandt exhibition in Frankfurt a few years ago, and it was very interesting how the older paintings differed from the younger ones. Also, there was this one where three guys are watching the scene from the bushes to the right, only the third one is very well hidden. They had to position an extra guard beside the thing, because people repeatedly leant over the line drawn on the ground behind which you had to stand so the picture would not be damaged. They were very understanding, because everyone was simply looking for that third guy in the bushes. But we must have looked pretty silly, leaning forward trying to get a closer look but trying not to cross the line accidentally inn the process.Jazhara7, on Feb 27 2008, 02:00 PM, said:
True, oil paintings does change over the years. The period that I meant was when details no longer mattered in his paintings and that he played more on the contrast between the light vs darkness (shadows).flysoup, on Feb 25 2008, 08:45 PM, said:
I'd like to comment that many of Rembrandt's paintings only got so dark over the years, be it due to hanging in smoky rooms, or dulling of the varnish and things like that. The painting usually referred to as "Night Watch" (the real title is something different, and longer, and does not refer to night at all), actually depicts a scene that takes place in broad daylight, and just *looks* as if it's night because the colours darkened over the years.Vizeteufel, on Feb 25 2008, 12:10 PM, said:
Aight, I drew the portrait myself, I actually used a image from one of the comic panels in my bg tob final fight comicGreat work, flysoup!
Did you really draw the portrait yourself? It's frickin awesome. Very very dark though...
The full body pic makes him look like a hun. Barbarians 4TW!
I adore his female form. ^__^ That sword looks like it's been used a LOT.
and colorized it with new and darker colors/contrast.
It might be a bit to dark but blame my inner dancing demon's for that one but I was inspired by Rembrants
old paintings at that moment with their dark vs light contrast.

That can also be seen in my Abdel example, the lack of details.
By all the glorious fantasy nerds out there how can an Abdel topic turn into a Rembrant topic?
Oh, and I forgot to say, I think your portrait of Abdel is pretty nice.
And yes, this gradual change from *THAT* topic to this one is kind of creepy. I wonder what Rembrandt would think of it.

The alarm was activated and I had to sneak out and missed out on the rest of the exhibition.
I was pretty nervous when I passed a Finnish guard that was heading to the location where the paining were.
I survived without scars and will never be that silly again.
