What's It All About?

This workshop is an intensive program for kitsch aka classical painters looking for extreme growth in their work through classical techniques and methods used by Rembrandt…and who want to learn how to make paintings that glow with liveliness and shock viewers. 

You’ll learn how to make your paintings stand out by using the same strategic palette, values, techniques, and methods as Rembrandt.

You’ll take vitality and depth to the next level with this and increase the amount of glow, atmosphere, liveliness, and 3-dimensionality in your paintings. 

I’ll teach you how to properly build layers and compare your paintings to Rembrandt’s in order to imitate his effects and push your work to the next level. 

You will understand the most crucial techniques & methods that make people gravitate to Rembrandt’s paintings 

You will learn how to implement the same principles so that you can make paintings that grip viewers and attract collectors.


 

Let me make something clear.. 

This workshop is not about miracle results; there is no simple trick that will give you a painting on par with Rembrandt.. This isn’t a magic pill that will make you a master overnight. 

What it will give you:

  • Insight into techniques and practices of Rembrandt that you have probably never heard of

  • A deeper understanding about how to achieve the same effects that are absolutely crucial for creating his famous glowing skin

  • Clear demonstration of how to make a painting feel like it is alive

  • The tools to create a painting that will blow people away 

You’ll find by imitating paintings that actually compel people, and following successful techniques and methods, sustainable improvements and increased liveliness will happen as a by-product. 

 

You will need to put in the effort to truly transform your paintings, but the rewards will be greater than anything you’ve ever experienced before. 

The Rembrandt Boot Camp is unlike anything else out there.. 

One of the problems a lot of painters face is a lack of direction. They take advice from many different sources: people with different philosophies, different styles, and different goals.. So it’s no surprise they end up with flat results. 

 

That’s why I decided to create a comprehensive workshop that covers all of the essential principles you NEED to learn if you want to be a great painter. 

 

Because I chose to avoid formal academies and instead dive into the mind of a master, Odd Nerdrum, I have a very unique perspective and in-depth understanding of what really sets Rembrandt apart and how to achieve similar results.

 

Trying to master these principles will take you from a struggling figurative artist to a successful classical painter with portraits that people can’t take their eyes off of.

What You'll Leave With After 3 Weeks

This workshop is not made to be ‘beginner friendly’ and is designed for painters who are serious about classical painting. 

Most courses out there try to appeal to everyone.. Which is exactly why those courses won’t help anyone to achieve mastery level skills. 

This workshop is intensely focused on the specific techniques that set Rembrandt apart as one of the greatest portrait painters who will ever live. It is intended for painters with at least intermediate level skills/knowledge.
