Rembrandt Etching Study – The Good Samaritan – Final

Posted by Judah on Jun.05,2013 in Daily Doodle, Study of Masters with 0 Comments

This was by far one of the most difficult ink drawings I’ve done in a long, long time. I think it took about 7 settings to complete. It’s finally done! It’s no Rembrandt, but it’s my attempt to press towards his mastery! Do note, the original is an etching, and I’m using a variety of ink pens, which do a pretty good job of mimicking etching lines, but it’s a completely different process of mark making, and therefore, can’t look exactly the same (I suppose it’s possible). Anyway, I learned so much from this study, such as how to make more subtle marks for greater contrast against the heavy, dark lines. It forced me to do things with a pen that I’ve not attempted before.

I think I’ll do a Robert Howe next for a Master study. I have a dragon paining in mind…
