In a break with the Florentine tradition of outlining the painted image, Leonardo perfected the technique known as sfumato, which translated literally from Italian means "vanished or evaporated." Creating imperceptible transitions between light and shade, and sometimes between colors, he blended everything "without borders, in the manner of smoke," his brush strokes so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye.

I really love these quick tip videos! I find them more informative than watching regular painting tutorials without an actual explanation of them. Thank you so much Dianne! 💕
I love your quick tips and I watch all of them. This one is especially helpful. I like to watch your brush stokes too, and appreciate how generous you are with your time and instruction.
Dianne another bit of pearl drops for your diehard subscriber. .Thanks for your invaluable tip. Feel like picking up the paint brush right away... Your demonstration and explanations are just so easy to understand. Thank you
Thank you Dianne! We spent three months in Scotland this past Spring and many of our days were foggy. We had lovely photos but my paintings didn’t seem congenerous ! This will help immensely!
Your explanation of closer value contrast &darker value contrast is new knowledge fr. Me,thank you mam dianne fr. Sharing yr. Knowledge its great help.GOD BLESS MAM
This was wonderful. I’m learning so much and am grateful that during these stay home days you have given me great instruction and my painting is improving! I am so happy to have found you! I’d love to see a similar tip on sunset skies where grays, pinks, oranges and blues all appear in the sky. How do blend 3-4 colors in a sunset sky? Thank you so much.
Hi Dianne. Excellent quick tip. I have a suggestion for a tip. Do you ever do a bistre underpainting where you paint a thin layer and rub out highlights? Why would we do this? Seems similar to Notan. When would you want to do something like this? Thank you
Thoughtful question, Andrew. This was the original way of working with oil paints, where the values were laid in first in a monochromatic color, usually an a warm brown or soot. The wipe out method was just one way a bistre was used. I show that (sorta) in Quick Tip 178 ( ruclips.net/video/ZRg7sz-amk4/видео.html ) After this, colors are painted in layers. It's just another method of developing a painting.
Hi Dianne Another wonderfully informative tip, thanks. I have request for tip I am working on a painting of rabbit and wondered if you could do a lesson on light reflections in eyes and keeping that wet look. thanks Lisa
Lisa, I will put your request on our schedule, but since we film these several weeks in advance, it will be at least May before it will be published. Meanwhile, check out Yupari's tutorial on painting an eye at ruclips.net/video/htFHsHwESGE/видео.html
Dianne, is it possible to achieve the sfumato effect using acrylic paints with mediums such as flow extender, etc.? Thank you for this demonstration! Very helpful to see it used in a landscape!
I have been following your quick tips for a while now. Very helpful. Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher. I wonder if you could do a quick tip about broken color and how decisions are made about which colors to put in.
Thanks for your request. I will it on our filming schedule. Since we film these several weeks it advance, most likely it will be May before it appears on RUclips.
For sure I learn something every time I watch you videos. Just wonder are you painting on paper ? How are you able to move the painting on paper 🤷🏻♀️👌🙏
Suzie, I am happy to do that, but I need a bit more information: what kind of light is this gold/brass vessel sitting in? Is it at eye level, above eye level or below eye level? What size is it? Meanwhile, one of the most masterful still life painters I'm aware of is Qiang Huang. Check him out on RUclips.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Hello Dianne. The vessel is at eye level and the light is from the upper left. The vessel is about 8 inches tall and about the same width and holds a bunch of grapes at the top.
Hi. I love your video I learned a lot thank you so much. I have a question, does sfumato work in painting any object? For example, flower vases or do you think it will look horrible?
When you look at the original picture do you see the single mountain range going from quite near to quite far? I see how the top line of the mountain is one clear line and the gradation is clearly defined up close and smaller and less pronounced as the mountain range "moves" into the distance.
When I look at a mountain range like this, I look for the degree of value contrast, the degree of neutrality and to what degree the edges are blending into the atmosphere. All this will translate into distance as well as weather conditions.
Tonal painting is creating an atmospheric effect with a limited palette, giving more attention to values than to color, whereas sfumato is a technique for softening the edges to create atmosphere among shapes.
Dear Mam I would like u to show me video of how to paint skyblue from light to dark or dark to light with showing how to make clouds also. Thanks Rims1
Please go to ruclips.net/channel/UCJErPSUwVOXzRYDC4kWejnwvideos and scan the titles of all our Quick tips and you will find several that show you the skills you are asking for.
Not sure what your question is, Stanislav Knezi, but I don't use mediums with my oil paints unless I need faster drying. In that case, I bring in the Liquin, otherwise, I use paints that are creamy enough to control without adding mediums to them--mainly Gamlin and Rembrandt brands.
Great lesson, I like when you apply the techniques you show to an actual painting. I'm learning with each of your tips! Thank you!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

I think "smoke" is the best translation.

the Sfumato Affect can be created by any medium. It is the technique we use that creates the effect, not the medium or material.

Great video. Thank you. But I use acrylic medium its really difficult to get smooth edges and gradation. How to get smooth blending in acrylic?
Yes, acrylic is difficult because it dries so fast. Keeping it wet is the key to smooth blending.
I will surely try this tip. Thank you so much for a valuable tip.
Thank you Mam, it was very helpful 😀
My pleasure 😊
That's beautiful!
Thank you!
Good painting advice.

I didnt get u which two colour u mixed for sky blue. And for grey.
Thanks

What is the difference between creating effects with sfumato versus tonal painting?
Tonal painting is creating an atmospheric effect with a limited palette, giving more attention to values than to color, whereas sfumato is a technique for softening the edges to create atmosphere among shapes.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you....so one could be creating a tonal painting and use the sfumato technique as well to create the softened edges.
How do you store your leftover paints please.
See Quick Tip 115.
how interresting thank u!
My pleasure!
Super helpful! Thank you!!
Always a pleasure.
Could we use glaze over the edge to create the same effect?
It depends upon how you use the glaze. The sfumato is created mainly by blending edges.
👌 Thank you.
Welcome 😊

Sfumato means "smoky."
Yes. Thanks for adding that.

It’s just a pretentious name for “ blending “ !
Pretentious, my eye! It was the original word for blending, before America was more than a few settlements.
Thank you
