Learn classical oil painting techniques used by the Old Masters – including chiaroscuro and sfumato. A full, solvent-free painting process from start to finish. The painting showcases traditional methods like chiaroscuro and sfumato, inspired by the masters such as Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci. In this video, you'll learn how to: Separate form from color Create a grisaille underpainting Apply transparent glazes Add white highlights in wet glazes Build up the soft transitions of the sfumato effect All materials and techniques are studio-safe – no solvents involved. 📩 Waitlist for my upcoming Video Course: I am currently preparing a comprehensive video course that will cover the technique of grisaille and glazing in great detail—bringing the heritage of the Old Masters into the present day without toxic thinners and lead paints. It will take a few more months to complete. I have set up an email list that you can join, and I will notify you when it is ready. Since YouTube doesn't always notify subscribers, I will also send a short note when I upload a new video. No spam, no junk mail, promised.
