Pigment Workshop
Have you ever wondered how Rembrandt created his paints?
Step into the world of the Dutch Golden Age and discover the secrets behind Rembrandt’s colors. In this hands‑on workshop, you’ll learn how artists of the 17th century transformed raw minerals, stones, and linseed oil into the luminous paints that shaped some of the greatest masterpieces in history.
You’ll explore the history, science, and craft of traditional paintmaking — and experience the satisfaction of creating paint with your own hands. With only fourteen pigments, Rembrandt produced more than 360 works of art. When you grind and mix these materials yourself, you’ll understand why: nothing compares to the richness and depth of pure, handmade paint.
It’s engaging, calming, and surprisingly fun. Imagine mixing your own colors, feeling the textures, and connecting directly with the techniques that defined Rembrandt’s genius.
Discover the craft. Explore the history. Feel like a master.

Testimonials
Amber & Gary W. – England
Superb! Fabulous location in a very fancy hotel (but in a quiet, beatifically decorated room) which was easy to find – just tell the doorman you are there for the painting experience and he will direct you as reception can get busy. My husband came under duress but even he enjoyed the mix of practical art (mixing our own oil paints and painting a small canvas) and history talk (on Amsterdam, Rembrandt, painting, pigments, etc.). Eric was genuinely interested in what we knew as well as sharing loads of information. No artistic skill required, attend and enjoy it at whatever level you are.
Jared & Heather M. – Seattle, WA. USA
This was an amazing experience! It was located in a perfect place with relevant Rembrandt history. Learning about the colors that he used and then mixing them yourself was very fascinating and will make you appreciate the art that you see from the time period even more! You’ll also paint a small piece for yourself! Eric, the instructor, is extremely knowledgeable and really makes the whole experience very special. I highly recommend!
Cay M. – United Arab Emirates
The instructor is so knowledgeable, and he mixes a bit of history while guiding participants
in the mixing of pigments and linseed oil in the way Rembrandt would have in his time. I’m
very glad I went!
