Rembrandt and his pupils made their own paints. But which pigments and oils did they use to do so? In the museum you can find out more about Rembrandt’s process of making paint in Rembrandt’s studio every other day between 11.00 and 15.00 hours. You can also learn more about Rembrandt’s etching techniques in our new etching loft. It’s like looking over the artist’s shoulder. Rembrandt made around 300 etchings and dry needles. Each one is a true work of art. He printed them in editions of ten to several dozen. He experimented with different techniques and with different types of paper. The etchings were much less expensive than the paintings and must have sold well. Our museum teachers will tell you about this technique in an interactive way every day.
