In this video you will learn about:

Starting in Grisaille, focusing on texture
Painting with Jannik's "Rembrandt" medium and chalk
Emulating the structure of skin to catch light in a realistic way
Direction of strokes relating to the direction of light
Using the ground as a middle tone
Painting thinner to make colors grayer
Keeping the interaction of different layers in mind
The "Rembrandt application" actually not being that thick
The importance of quick and short brush strokes
Passive, warm shadows
Painting on the whole motif simultaneously
Illusion of details coming from texture
"The Devil's Brush" and the back of the brush for detail
Effects you get using your destroyed/worn brushes
