Here I am painting in oil the Salvator Mundi of Leonardo Da Vinci and sharing my thoughts and tips. For the full lesson and much more find me at / paintingthelight
There's a Japanese painter/illustrator called Ayami Kojima that uses this technique, but with acrylics instead. Basically she does a grisaille drawing using Conte paris' carrés, and accentuates the shadows with Indian ink. Then she applies thin layers of acrylic paint diluted with gloss medium on top. I think I read somewhere that she was inspired by the Renaissance painters and more specifically Da Vinci, and if you look at her paintings she does get that fog effect nailed down.
I was literally just thinking about sfumato yesterday and wondering about youtube videos to show me the technique. eerie. thanks so much for this quick demo.
You know that this isn’t a DaVinci painting right? The Saudi prince won’t even let anyone see it anymore because it deemed not authentic by the Louvre.

Absolutely incredible!! Just a question how much time does the egg tempera layer has to dry before you apply oil? I have heard that you should wait months before you start painting with oil to let the egg to cure.
I don't think any of the old masters who applied first layer in tempera (being it glue or egg tempera) ever waited months. The very idea of starting with tempera is to expediate things. I think it's important that all the water in the tempera paint evaporates before turning to oil. So a 24-42hours (depending on weather conditions) would be enough.
Dear Antonis, thank you for your videos. I have question. 7:55 When you say thin layer of oil - you mean using oil colour with a drop of terpentine make the thinner, not so denser. Right?
Your painting skills are, of course, amazing and indeed, that sfumato creates a beautiful Leonardoesque effect. I just wish you had chosen the original Salvator Mundi and not the Modestini homunculus visual.
This is a copy of a restored work and therefore it is also a copy of the restoration work, like the open mouth, the bloody tip of the nose and the eyes are different...Another aspect is that your copy is good, but for Leonardo’s level the level your acheved is still at the level of the “dead layer”; So now you need living tones of the finest shades to go further to proceed
you nailed it... well captured. Beautiful soft portrait.... It's like Leonardo took over at some point. Amazing work and perseverance... you've become water my friend.
I see no reason for the overly complicated and even badly drawn scruffy underdrawing, which all gets totally painted over later. Incidentally, I never accepted that the original source painting is actually by Leonardo. In my opinion, the latest buyer has been "hoo-doo'd" bigtime!
I also think it can't be Leonardo's work. Maybe it's from his studio. In my opinion the drawing is just not up to his standards (that or the restoration turned it super wonky) and composition-wise while I can't rule it out I don't think we have evidence of Leonardo just executing an established image formula like that - plus he really like a rotated, graceful head pose compared to a static one like this. Christ in his Last Supper is not en face, and he could be.

hell yeah, Castlevania!
That sounds great. Very interesting to try. Thanks for telling!!
I just discovered this week that acrylic glossy medium in a very smooth surface gives a very similar effect to egg tempera or tempera grassa
very interesting!

Thank you and bless you, Antonis, for these tutorials. No one else teaches these techniques as you do, and I learn much from you. ❤

This helps me a lot with my painting, you helped me improve my painting a lot over the year, than, you so much
I love your Tutorials. I watch you from Ireland
Ahhhh. this is beautiful. thank you for sharing this beautiful piece. We must all be bold, and experimental in our works.
Beautiful and inspiring
Thank you for sharing!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 🎄
Larga vida al gran..

Hi Antonis. Result of your study looks great and pretty much accurate. Can you tell us more about under painting ?
Many thanks from Serbia.
Traduci in italiano
I order to make " sfumato" you must use probably a nut oil. You see they hadn't used the modern oils as linen one . But nut oil dries very long
Do you have to wait for each layer to dry? Also do you have the same amount of medium in each layer? (The same amount of oil)
Absolutely incredible!! Just a question how much time does the egg tempera layer has to dry before you apply oil? I have heard that you should wait months before you start painting with oil to let the egg to cure.

@@bodeaalex1142 thank you very much! Wish you the best and Merry Christmas!
Beautiful Antonis ❤ may i learn these techniques myself. What do you use to draw your figure initially?
Amazing skills😮
For sure! I have learned a lot watching Antonis
From which website I can find the full video link of this panting ?
Hello, I don't speak English but I would like to know what your technique is like, tempera or tempera and oil? I like it a lot. greetings
Dear Antonis, thank you for your videos. I have question. 7:55 When you say thin layer of oil - you mean using oil colour with a drop of terpentine make the thinner, not so denser. Right?
Beautiful
I want to learn how the renaissance artist did their panting and their method.
And
I love your pasent on panting and your panting also. from Nepal!!
Your painting skills are, of course, amazing and indeed, that sfumato creates a beautiful Leonardoesque effect. I just wish you had chosen the original Salvator Mundi and not the Modestini homunculus visual.
how do you make the black and white part in the very start ? Tempera?
How much time do you wait between each layer pls?
Excellent painting
Be bold. Be brave!
Palette image? Very nice
Rien à dire sauf une œuvre tu es notre léonard de vinci 💞❤❤❤
The most wonderful face ever drawn for the Lord God ..with a "slight beard and slight moustache"
What I’m trying to understand is do you dry layers off camera or something or are all layers staying mixing through the entire process till the end?
Do you recommend using lead white, or is titanium OK?
For this study I used titanium.. ❤️
I am thinking of buying your icon lessons but I use acrylics rather than egg tempura. Would that be a problem for me?
Not a problem at all. You can definitely paint icons using acrylics.
Praise The Lord!

So do I just move to become an apprentice? How do we do this?
Hahaha! Yes!

Talk more e about the colours please

It is not just oil. Secondly for sfumato you need charcoal and fingerpainting and cloth. Get rid of the brush.
can you do it wet on wet?
No es un Da Vinci!!
Es una pintura de Modestini, jajaja.
