It's always a delight to see you recreating the old flemish paintings. You are a really talented painter and a wonderful teacher too ! Everytimes I'm visiting your channel I learn something new. Thanks a lot lisa.
Hi Madjid! Thank you so much! We’ll make sure she received this message! 🙌🏽
RijksCreative Thank you. Rijks Museum has got plenty of treasures, not only the many masterpieces exposed on its walls, but peoples who work in and make the ancient art still alive too.
Lisa looks like if she just came out of a Vermeer painting. Vermeer and Lisa are both great painters.
Thank you! Another lovely video. So glad I came across your channel.
Thank you! Really helps with the basics and getting started.
Vermeer didn't have pencil drawings underneath his paintings so his images were done directly from the image from his camera obscure so he had to use a comparritor mirror as well. That's why so many of his paintings were done in that room with the windows on the left side. It is physically impossible to get his tonal gradients from observation and then put them to canvas so his color matching and tonal gradients had to been done with the comparritor mirror.
Johnny You act like you know how Vermeer painted, but you don't. You were not there when he painted to see for yourself. No one really knows how he painted... Camera obscura is only a theory. Not fact. It is a theory made up by someone who could not believe a painter is capable of painting such beautiful paintings without technology. Also, the way Vermeer painted is really not that important. It is not a camera obscura or absence of a camera oscura that made Vermeer a great painter. The results of his labour is what matters. It is all about his compositions, subjects and color that he chose for his work that makes him one of the most talented, skilled and imaginative painters this world has ever seen. After centuries Vermeer's paintings still mistify us and keep us guessing. As does Vermeer himself. Not only about the man himself or the meaning of his paintings but even about how he painted them. How brilliant!
@@hansolo2121 ha, well Im not basing this on a hunch dude, their is compelling evidence. Nothing about this changes or takes away from his brilliance, he was still a gifted painter, ahead of his time in fact. Their are optical flaws that can only be seen via a lens that are translated into his paintings that are not possible for human eye to replicate. The light gradients are not physically possible for a human to replicate unless aided with a optical lens and mirror. This isn't MY theory its smart people who have studied this and put forth the evidence.
@@hansolo2121 The paintings themselves are documents they reveal how they were created. There is no under drawing in any of Vermeer"s work, so a camera obscura could not have been used. It would have required a dark cubicle and you can not paint in semi darkness. Many of the paintings however do reveal highlights which appear out of focus, the eye does not see out of focus, so some form of lens/mirror arrangement seems likely. I suggest you read "Vermeer's camera" then watch "Tim's Vermeer" You will find it on TH-cam. I think they have pretty convincing evidence for how Vermeer worked.
@@johnnyb8629 Lisa is a scientist.
who, together with other scientists, research and restore paintings on a daily basis. when she says that Vermeer often uses a Camera Obscura but she is not sure whether this is the case with this painting, she does not say so without reason.
@@marcelschellekens6386 the reason is because every Vermeer “expert” gets butt hurt when faced with the idea that their “god” used tools to achieve what’s physically impossible with the human eye alone.
Perfect tonal gradients are impossible to see with out comparing tones directly next to each other. So unless Vermeer somehow folded space to compare and identify those gradients it would be impossible for him to achieve it on canvas because he simply would not have been able to perceive the difference. Now if you use a mirror along with the camera obscura you can then compare your paint to the image being projected and match the tone and color perfectly.
Digital artist use algorithms to achieve these effects and still fall short with light science and computing ability. Outside a mirror comparator with camera obscura the only way to get that kind of perfect tonal gradient is take a photograph.
love these videos!
Thank you for your Veermer tutorial Lisa ,🙏
Veermer, like Rambrendt and Von Gagh?
Thank you very much .. Amazing
Thank you for these tutorials!
Much appreciated.
XOXO
PRuby
thank you very much for the wonderful tutorial
Hi. I have painted Oooops 'Really' Girl with the Pearl Earring and have found it a fascinating painting. I am now trying to paint the 'Milkmaid' and am really struggling with the colour tones on the sleeves.... I might have been a bit ambitious!!! Lovely effort in this construction, well done indeed! May I add an X. Thank you...
Very nice video. Thank you for the insight!
THANKS A LOT ITS WONDERFUL TUTORIAL .
Such an amazing and inspiring tutorial! Love it so much. ❤️
Lisa Wiersma, Do you have the directions or a lesson on how to make your camera obscura?
thank you so much
Thank you a lot
Please where you put The painting to move it on canvas
Geveldig!
I would really appreciate more information on mediums used in the original Painting and a good tutorial showing how the artist used the camera obscure . thank you good video
You can only trace an image with a camera obscura and there is no linework under the paint in Vermeer's paintings. He went straight to paint and you cannot paint in the dark! He almost certainly did use a mirror/lens combination. I suggest you watch this th-cam.com/video/94pCNUu6qFY/w-d-xo.html
Are we just using one paint brush in painting this picture?
I love Vermeer!
What soft and lovely light he painted. The light was almost always daylight from a window on one side of the painting. Blue and Yellow, the idea of color valance and complementary colors was not introduced until the 18th century, good contrast pattern of balance of blue and yellow, reflection, and illusion!
Yes you have encapsulated exactly the qualities Vermeer has that other painters do not. The lighting quality is photographic. He seems to be able to see tonal range that the human eye cannot perceive because the eye is not a light meter. So how did he do it? th-cam.com/video/94pCNUu6qFY/w-d-xo.html
Boloney you're sure. He absolutely did. There is no other way to get the color gradients he achieved without it.
The problem with zinc is that it is a weak mineral and can later cause delamination. .
Ardic Agus: Status Quo says it all but I'll add that Cobra is good quality water soluble oil paint made by Royal Talens, good if you don't want to deal with the very high VOC fumes from turpentine or who don't have adequate ventilation. How many people clicking on this video were expecting to see someone that had ground their own pigment and made the paint? Only you I suspect. There is an interesting video about how to do this by the people that made this video:
th-cam.com/video/FOHKxg9h-4I/w-d-xo.html
These videos are designed to encourage people to paint so thank you RijksCreative, great job. Please keep them coming.
Cobra are oils of inferior quality, the pigment load is very low, only comparable to low quality students' paint.
I know because I bought a set and have used them.
This is very off topic, but I’m getting some strong Jeri Ryan - seven/nine vibes.
I’m confused about the camera obscura part, that wasn’t really explained very well lol
There are such beautiful women on the earth.
Tim’s Vermeer is een aanrader wanneer je een echte Vermeer wil schilderen. Iedereen kan het. Jammer dat de kunstwereld nog steeds niet wilt toegeven en serieuze technieken wil onderzoeken die Vermeer en Rembrandt hebben gebruikt. Kijk maar eens naar een paard die Rembrandt heeft geschilderd en je ziet dat hij het niet goed kan. Alleen gezichten en details werkte goed want die kon hij sturen met een camera obscura en comparison mirror.
Did not show how the Camera was used
The main argument for camera obscura has been perspective. There is no real evidence of camera obscura, and plenty of evidence against it. The impossibility of painting in a darkened room is one problem. What has not been mentioned is the fact that many of his paintings have a pinhole at a focal point. He stuck a pin in the painting and used threads tied to it to obtain an accurate perspective.
I don't understand the purpose of the camera obscura. I have eyes.
The title is false. The video doesn't show how to create a Vermeer. What we see at the end is only a short sketch. That means something like only 2 % of the work. In fact, today, we know few about how Vermeer was painting. So nobody is able to say : "I will show you how to create a Vermeer". At least we could say that: for the first layers he used flake white and not zinc white. The second colour "light yellow" didn't exist in that time. And almost sure that for the first layer he used Sienna instead of raw umber. Also this video says nothing about something very important : which medium to use. And nothing about the preparation of the canvas, something also very important. This women is "art historian" ?!
The title is accurate. The video is well made and the painting is a great replica of the Vermeer on the left. Azijnzeiker ;)
@@ayastrations If you liked this video, Good for you. I understand you can find the result nice, and the explanation interesting. The drawing of the draft is pretty good, but is only the few beginning. Really I don’t think that we could say the title is right. Just a few clarifications: On the left is a photo of the original, on the right is just a sketch that could represent about 2-3% of the final work. A Vermeer is completed by a lot of very thin layers of paint (ten or more layers). This requires a great mastery of colors and especially of the medium to use. It is a hard and long work of several weeks, even several months to complete the work. The 17th century masters kept their painting techniques secret. The choice and use of mediums was crucial to succeed in superimposing numerous thin layers of paint while keeping the freshness and transparency of the final appearance. Nowadays, even the greatest specialists who have studied Vermeer’s painting have failed to discover how he could achieve such a result. So when someone claims to show how to create a Vermeer, and with in addition an ignorance of the basic principles used in the 17th century.. ... Do you really think is acccurate? I wish you a nice evening.
@@alainamar898 Not all masters kept their techniques a secret. A lot of them, including Vermeer at one point taught their craft to students. My grandfather also uses Vermeer's technique and of course, with time, those techniques change. People change. New tricks and hacks are made up as to speed up the process. Especially since oil paintings need a very long time to dry, you want to speed it up however you can. Vermeer taught someone his technique, like my grandfather taught my father and my father is teaching me. That's how life goes. A replica is called a replica for a reason. There will always be only one original. The video only tells you the techniques and how you can apply them in your painting and like I mentioned before, those are very accurate.
@@ayastrations If the video only tells some techniques you can apply to do an approximative replica, so should not say "how to create a Vermeer". That's interesting your grand father uses Vermeer's technique. So logically you can tell me what medium was Using Vermeer. Please tell me.
One thing that is definate, he never used Acrylics. 🎨
Waarom alles weer in Engels
Nice but not what I expected from the thumbnail.
So when did we see the camera obscura actually being used? (Especially in that bright room?)
Although that was a very pleasant copy, this tutorial does nothing to guide you to creating tones that are remotely similar to those used by Vermeer. It could have easily been a copy of any artist’s original.
??. What is your purpose here? Why did you show us the camera obscura and then apparently do nothing with it!? How did you get the outline of the painting onto the canvas? This vid is not for the clueless (i.e., me).
MET COBRA? (Olie op waterbasis..................???????????)
2022 We now know he just used a tiny eye mirror and a lense. And we are sure.
Check out the doc, Tims Vermeer and you'll see for yourself.
Nowhere near this complicated of a setup.
Over educated people trying to explain Vermeer technique and getting it terribly wrong. We haven’t heard of you bit have Vermeer!!
ehm it looks hardly like it
In order to match the tones correctly, you can always just dab a bit of the paint you've mixed onto the Vermeer to see how it looks....OH MY GOD you just ruined a masterpiece!!!! Just kidding.
Sorry not even close. I just painted my great grandaughter as the girl with a pearl earring in oils.I studied on my own for years.No pencils, no acrylic.
Get a Comparator .
This is nothing like a Vermeer.
This video is very interesting but the music is holy inappropriate. Dixie (which is what this tune is) is the anthem of the Confederacy (in the US) during the Civil War, and as so represents ideas the Rijksmuseum may not want to advance.
@@bourbon_sketcher especially if you were never victimized by racism BTW music does not sound like Dixie to me
Dixie is a song about a woman. Abe Lincoln liked it and had it played at his rallies
This is a joke.. disgusting
LADY. WHY YOU PREGGERS? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING. HMM?
Oh boy, well here goes. When a man and a woman love each other very much.....
Congratulations Lisa!
This is ridiculous. Vermeer painting is own painting.
Are you kidding this looks like a high school girl painted this, geez-people will upload anything on youtube! I can do a ten times better job!
