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.
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.
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.
Αγαπημένε Δάσκαλε, καλά Χριστούγεννα με υγεία και αγάπη! Σε ευχαριστούμε για την προσφορά της γνώσης που απλόχερα μοιράζεις! Ο Κύριος να σε προστατεύει 🙏🙏🙏
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?
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.
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.
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.
It is not lost- but rather, not used very often or taught other than in schools by illustration teachers- ironically. Most schools do not teach classical painting techniques- or any techniques really... at least not in the mid 80's when I was in college. There are more ways to implement this technique than just how you achieved it...
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. ❤

I love your Tutorials. I watch you from Ireland
you literally recreated it perfectly bravo
Thank you you inspire me and ltrie to learn the iconography on your channel thank you ❤from Egypt
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.
It turned out amazing. Thanks for sharing
That is really impressive, I'd love to be able to achieve that kind of result.
Ahhhh. this is beautiful. thank you for sharing this beautiful piece. We must all be bold, and experimental in our works.
Thank you for sharing!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 🎄
Great job! I'm studying this technique now. I'm glad you had such great success!
Hi Antonis. Result of your study looks great and pretty much accurate. Can you tell us more about under painting ?
Many thanks from Serbia.

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing the thoughtful video. Namaste !❤

This helps me a lot with my painting, you helped me improve my painting a lot over the year, than, you so much
Larga vida al gran..

Very useful upload and insights! Thank you for the share
Stunning !
how do you make the black and white part in the very start ? Tempera?
How clever . Way to go , quasi Leonardo . Cultivate as much competition as possible
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.
Thank you for the video. Are the brushes stif? What kind of brush’s are you using? Thank you
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.
Beautiful and inspiring
Very nice, do look like an old master work.
Sorry for this question, but I want to know how much this painting sells for, just curious
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)
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
From which website I can find the full video link of this panting ?
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
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?
Palette image? Very nice
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!!
Beautiful thx
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?
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.
Thank you Antonis!
So do I just move to become an apprentice? How do we do this?
Hahaha! Yes!
Praise The Lord!
_Whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life._
😮the thumbnail reminds me of my wife doing her makeup
Amazing skills😮
For sure! I have learned a lot watching Antonis
LOL, It reminds me of so many filters that the ladies use on tic-toc!
Do you recommend using lead white, or is titanium OK?
For this study I used titanium.. ❤️

I just realized applying make up is like the sfumato technique
The most wonderful face ever drawn for the Lord God ..with a "slight beard and slight moustache"
Great!
it’s lost because davinci used silver point and it’s not common today
Rien à dire sauf une œuvre tu es notre léonard de vinci 💞❤❤❤
Excellent painting
Be bold. Be brave!

It is not just oil. Secondly for sfumato you need charcoal and fingerpainting and cloth. Get rid of the brush.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Talk more e about the colours please
can you do it wet on wet?
Well done! You draw beautifully! But why are you in such a hurry? No one will understand anything anyway.
Beautiful

Slab executare unde e da Vinci
Too much rambling…. Get to the point…. We’re interested in “how to” not what Da Vinci may have fine, or why he did it….
No es un Da Vinci!!
Es una pintura de Modestini, jajaja.
Did i love your videos but the heavy swallowing is difficult to handle I don’t know why ^^
🤗👍👍👍
