Rembrandt part I

From this picture of Rembrandt, "Self Portrait" from 1640 when he was 34 years old...


I had to make this version with charcoal on a 18 by 24in paper...

By other side I have to prepare a wood panel of the same size, cover with more than 10 coats of gesso and oil....
(Needless to say, I have no available my humble kitchen!)
Because I will paint with oils... I hope that it pass the quality control and let you know how this story end! hahahhah
