Thank you for the pure Caravaggio teaching. I needed the instruction and you gave me so much of it without speaking word. The master of Lights spoke for you, through you.
How do I make the white turn greyish? I want to paint underpaintings like caravaggio, however I am not sure how he painted his underpaintings. Is there a special way with which to apply the white on the canvas like to thin the paint as soon as I want to make a turn of the form? Or Drybrushing or even impasto application?
If you apply the white very thin on the brown canvas, it becomes that greyish tone. It´s an easy method to try it with drybrush. You don´t need to mix it with any black tone, it depends on the thickness of your paint. You can also try to thin the paint but i think it´s easier to do with drybrush. On the very light areas you should paint impasto - you can play with the brushstrokes and let them visible to create more vividness.
Did you transfer the drawing to the ground or did you scratch it out directly on the canvas? I can't tell whether the white lines are paint, white chalk or crayon or the white canvas showing through. Thanks. Awesome talent by the way.
A monotone underpainting is alright but what makes me anxious is the thought of layering exclusively translucent paint over it.. I mean is that a best practice considering the archival factor...? Ive heard that most of the thin layers of the Mona Lisa are eroded away in time.
If you take a look at the old masters, after some centurys most of them are in good condition and still look great. Caravaggio also used thin layers of glazings for the finish but during the underpainting and build up, the paint wasn´t thin. You can see a lot of brush strokes with thick paint in his works.
@@oldmasterpaintings yes, i agree that translucent layers of paint are to be applied on top of the lean paint layers as per the fat over lean principle.

Love seeing one in real time and not so fast that my eyes cross! Thank you
. Please what the time between layer and other layers... Thank you so much... 🙏💐
Hi! This is just fabulous! Bravo! For the very first dark arias in the arm and the fabric, did you use pure Van Dyck brown? Thanks!
Thank You for the video

What would you call the device you have that suspends your canvas? Sorry I am a novice. Thank you

Yes, it was transfered with white chalk.
