Jan-Ove Tuv visits the National Museum in Stockholm to look at Giovanni Bellini, Georges de la Tour and Rembrandt. Join him as he talks about some surprising similarities in their painting techniques.

• The necessity of a strict form (contour line), even when painting "loose"
• How these painters work with "flat", vibrant planes
• Rembrandt as a grey/green painter (not brown)
• Rembrandt as "un-Baroque"
• Painting movement
• How Titian, Leonardo, Apelles and Aristotle influenced Rembrandt
• The point of the "Sketch-like" technica macchia
• How one stroke can save the whole form
• Painting things as they appear in your side vision
• The importance of making two different eyes
• Painting light itself
