I find the Frick self portrait one of Rembrandt's very best, and it is not all just about the face. While it is true that he used an abbreviated palette, he also used actual yellow and red, and often in backgrounds some lovely cooler colors involving modifications using greens and blues. In the end, Rembrandt had absolutely masterful brush strokes which no one can really emulate, and his crowning achievements were the senses of light, space, and the most ephemeral of all: an evocation of humanity.

...nice demo!!! ...I found letting the paint dry for a bit then going over it with a soft blending brush works also and gives it that atmospheric quality you mentioned....
