Contextual Analysis



I have looked at Rembrandt this year because i felt drawn to his style of painting, specifically his eyes and the intense, real feel of his paintings and the immense, immovable feel of his portraits, such as (Self Portrait with Two Circles).

I thought he'd be a good artist to look at in light of my growth in confidence with the use of acrylic (and later oil) paints. Rembrandt painted many of his paintings using highly contrasting lights and darks, and his subject matter was often himself, or family. This is similar to what I want to paint.
