Ouch! When you put the original up there it really makes mine look bad! Take it down! "Just kidding."
Thanks for your help. I never noticed before how different the head and hand are from the original. Let's just hope Rembrandt isn't frowning down on me.
I know what you mean about tint. There are several reasons why it's very difficult to get the same tint as the original: 1. It is hard to know what technique and imprimatura the artist used. 2. Every picture that I've seen of this painting has a different tint; the picture there, probably from at artchive.com, has a very different tint than the photo I was working from.
Had I gone to Amsterdam, which is out of the question, and copied the actual painting my colors probably would have been better.
I suppose Rembrandt isn't the best artist to begin with. Who would you recommend? I had one artist tell me Da Vinci (as a joke).
