FINALLY: somebody who knows how it was done (AND knows how to do it well !!)! An underdrawing in umber, followed by a grisaille underpainting in the light parts of the form. This became the classic method for most painters over the subsequent 500 years. Bravo, Mr Ianos, and thank you for posting this for everybody.
Wow, many thanks for this wonderful comment. I've tried to analyze some of his unfinished pieces, and saw , specially on the National Gallery's Madonna of the Rocks ,a more visible dead layer, compared to his other more finished pieces. Seems that the form ,has more grey than we thought.
He made washes, no brush. And not umber but yellow or yellow ochre. Look at Adoration Magi or other unfinished work. Da Vinci didn't work like in the video.
@@Braun09tv I've lived and worked in Florence for the last 35 years and I've looked at Leonardo's Magi many times. I'm also the director and an instructor at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence. The video gets it right, believe me.
@@michaeljohnangel6359 are you serious? Da Vinci has no brush strokes, everybody knows that. You should know that the underpainting is washes, did you see any brush strokes in the skin?
@@Braun09tv Yup, they're there, m'dear. Your misunderstanding probably comes from Leonardo's technique of blurring each paint application, as shown in this video. Go to the Uffizi and look at it closely. There are also some excellent videos on RUclips that show close-ups taken during the recent cleaning of the Magi. If you have ever painted successfully, you will know that you have to apply brushstrokes before you can blend them.
Thank you, Dan, for presenting us with this valuable demonstration on Leonardo's painting techniques !!! Masterfully done ! As always !!! Very interesting choice of medium.

Thank you Dan! Are you using Acrylic paints? or is it oil?
HEY CAN U SHARE DA MUSIC U USE AS WEL BEHIND AL DIS AMAZIN PIECES;💙
Yes
Did you use watercolor or oils?
tempera grassa . egg and oil emulsion
what's a coat of weak size?
will try to do the same with oils) but that will be 2 times longer, as all layers need to dry🥲
yes, you could do that ,and it will be much more easy. You can correct mistakes with slower drying medium .
Perfect. Could you tell me what materials did you use ?
Thanks .I think you can find them,on the subtitles.
Look at Adoration of Magi, the unfinished painting. It is not a monocromatic underpainting.

Thank YOU very much 😊
