A point of view as a professional

Kudos to the upright brother from Texas, but as a professional, I have to point out that there is a loophole in this painting method. Vermeer's paintings are all multi-layer indirect painting methods, not this direct painting method. There is an essence between the two. s difference.

For example, when painting a piece of blue cloth, he will first paint a layer of earth, then a layer of black, then a layer of blue, and then brighten the blue highlights.... Let the paint dry, not in one step like Tim's method.

Several of the experts in the film did not address this issue, so it is still impossible to draw conclusions about it.

Tim's Vermeer quotes

  • Natalie Jenison: So if anything falls askew, your painting's in no danger, is that correct?

    Tim Jenison: No, I wouldn't say that... But, you know, I can always start over.

  • Philip Steadman: Using Tim's device, it isn't easy, but somehow it does turn you into a machine... You become a machine. Was Vermeer a machine? Maybe Vermeer was strong-minded enough to think, "I'll become a machine".
