I understand what you're saying about not sharing your palette, but that's the frustration I always had with art school-all theory, no information about materials and how to properly use them. I do understand that your channel is about how to apply paint, which is already way more than I ever learned in school. So in addition to learning from your wonderful channel, I go to others on KZread to learn about color mixing and materials. I am 64, been painting all my life, and I never stop learning. Thank you for all you do, your channel is wonderful and very helpful.

A couple of other channels I love and that are super helpful. Chad Jacob's Draw mix paint Waddles world Our painted lives Ian roberts Florent farges Painting the light along with draw mix paint are def the most instructional. Our painted lives has the philosophy that your teachers probably wanted to express but lacked the knowledge to demonstrate how to do so. He's a contemporary painter but former illustrator so he knows what rules to break and not. Great channels all around.

“You have to go darker to make the light reveal itself”. Important words. Thank you.

I was painting in my studio in Texas yesterday, and I found your video and watched and listened. I’ve been trying to learn all I can about oil painting since 2020. Your willingness to share your experience with a beautiful and multi-layered technique was quite inspiring. Also, I found what you said about focusing on painting during this challenging time to be just what I needed to hear, even a year after you made the video. Thank you for what you do, and I look forward to following your work.

You are so free your brush strokes show so much confidence, you make it look deceptively easy, you sir are a very gifted artist!

Thank you so much for this, it's truly gorgeous! I'm a student and teaching myself how to paint and I've found your videos and studies of different techniques really helpful. I've tried copying two versions of Caravaggio's John the Baptist but I only used a simple underpainting. I think the contrasting light of this underpainting compliments the final colours even more. I really want to try this now!

I love the artifice this technique brings to the paintings. Almost like a theatre performance or a vivid dream.

Thank you for a very inspirational tutorial! The whole process, the underpainting, darks and lights, flesh colours, the blending, description of the volume and the importance of dark shadows to reveal the beautiful light, most absorbing in every aspect 👍

Так мало хороших мастеро, Вы лучший. Прекрасные видео

I have found your videos to be not just educational but also inspiring. I am fond of Caravaggio but more so Raphael. Your explanations have helped me as I view painting as not just applying oils, etc, to a canvas, but I am like a cosmetologist applying cosmetics and beautifying make-up to a face. Thank you.

σας ευχαριστώ Αντώνης …. Stupendo processo lavorativo e descrittivo. Grazie 🌈🍀🌟🙏🏼💙

I've enjoyed the painting process as much as your narrative, great work, thank you!

I've never seen this technique done this well. Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the video, Caravaggio was a deeply disturbed person but his painting was amazing. Hoping to get to this level soon

Molto grazie, maestro!!!! Bravo!!!!!

As someone who just started drawing in this style, you inspire me

Thank you for posting this, it has inspired me to pick up oil painting again.

Wonderful demonstration!

Thank You for this tutorial. I found this technique really helpul during copying Salvator Mundi. I've always worked with oils, but I'll definitely try tempera. Thank You.

I’m so glad I found this video because that’s exactly how I feel about it, as nice as it is to learn all the stuff they use and I will eventually learn how to make pigments and things, but the most important thing is for me to learn the way they painted instead of what they painted with them improve upon it with my own experiments, because I don’t have a teacher dedicating his or her entire life to teaching me how to do it since my pre teens, I’ve had to learn everything on my own since I was a kid..

Thank you so much I'm a self taught artist it's really helpful for my next painting

Who can fall asleep?... you are great! Thanks much!

very beautiful ... the expressions of the face defined by the light and dark colour shades and in between the shades there is slightly blend is much useful for artist

You did great dude, I love it and I’m going to try it for sure !!! ❤ if I finish one I’ll see about sending a picture!

Beautiful! I'd love to see your works in acrylic.

Wonderful video.

This is beautiful. Thank you so much for this. I feel just like you about getting lost emotionally while painting. Also I have been troubled by world events lately, especially in that I have a medical background and knew instinctively from the start in early 2020 that something was very wrong. Now that I am retired from daily work I have more time to follow my love of painting and it helps greatly to take me towards creativity and beauty rather than the darkness of the "civilised" world we find ourselves in today. I will definitely and defiantly try this technique after watching you wonderful video and description. ♥ P.s. I have been experimenting with using the Zorn palette lately. I love simplicity.

I do love simplicity. I find the condition of the world very troubling myself. I feel so helpless and what to do about it so I'm preparing myself spiritually that's the only way of Escape it's true God. Even though the art world has become dark and subject is trouble of some very pleasant to look upon. So I try to paint the peaceful and beautiful things only. God bless you and whatever you do success.

Nah. No beautiful studio here. We as artists create beauty. So i can do with or without. As long as I'm able to paint is good enough. I've learned a lot of technique from your video. Keep teaching on.

Excellent. Stay blessed

That's great! So here it is an old way of writing beauty. Thank you... 2022

Thanks you for this video. First time painting using this process and I absolutely see a noticeable difference! I will do this technique again. Please do more videos.

Great video. Thank you. One question , did you varnish between layers. Thank you so very much. Thank

Hello and thank you for your time to make this video. In your daily work, are you using turpentine only in the beginning of the process end oil medium just for glazing?

I love your work!!!!! I travel with your paintings... Thank you antoni's!

Thank You very much. This method really interesting and You get sculptural face like 3D. What oil colors do You use to receive transparent ore semitransparent colors?

I learned so much watching this, thank you!! Can you share the link for your patron page please?

this technic remindes me of airbrushing, some artists paint the whole character with pencil black nd white then spray it over with airbrush, it helps to finding the lights and modulation of the face.

Thank you Antonys , can please share how to transfer sketch to the canvas?

Hi Antonis. I love your Channel SOOO MUCH! 🙏 this technique is kind of similar to how I work with gouache, though my work is more graphic/stylized. Can I ask about how many hours did this painting take you?? Like you, I would be in DEEP psychological trouble if I did not paint almost every day! 😁👍 I live in Brisbane, Australia, in a 1 bedroom apartment with my dog, which doubles as my studio. It is my biggest DREAM to live in Greece someday (I have never been to Greece , but I want to live on Kythira, not far from Crete). If I make it there (when covid finally settles down) I would love to visit you!! 🙏🙏 Thank you for your lessons. I learn so much. I would love some more help learning the gold leaf guilding process 🙏😉 kind regards, Mary. 😎

Prof Falcone ❤😂

Thanks

Wow. What colours did you use?

Thankyou so much, what is the size of the brush you are using?

Watching your video certainly does not put me to sleep. It keeps me awake and fascinated with your understanding of techniques that lead to such amazing results. Thank you for this tutorial. I will have a sleepless night thinking about how to brave my paintings.💖

Thank you, Antonis, for your skilled interpretation of Caravaggio's technique! Do you see this technique only as a sort of values map to build on, or does that dramatic high-contrast grisaille continue to optically/reflectively influence the upper layers where paint is applied more heavily?

@PaintingtheLight

Hi Mark!! Thank you for your wonderful question and you warm interest! We had a rough time, but here in Crete we have been safe! I hope you are healthy too! I believe this technique works for both. I believe that the grisaille technic influences more the shadow areas of the painting than the light. Are you willing to try it? :)

I agree try using the chiaroscuro which is a technique that focuses on the shadows naturally bringing out the light.

Another epic video of you! Thanks a lot Antonis.

No at 15:54 it looked good, almost finished but frankly speaking the state before you "destroyed the white was the best. The first red glaze was mainly for "chemical" reasons?

I never found painting to be therapeutic (though it's my favorite thing to do in life!), on the contrary, it always gives me a headache and dry eyes because of how much attention it demands. But at the same time, when I'm painting, I go into a flow state (almost like a blackout), and I don't even register what I'm doing, why I'm blending the shades and how I'm approaching the brushstrokes. The next thing I know, I'm "awake" and whatever the result is, is the finished product. This is why I could never teach the subject - I wouldn't know how to teach it!

As an oil painter, seeing your tecniche is clear that you are more confortable with tempera, is not a bad thing but you lose some opportunities that oil painting gave like smoothness. As you said at the beginning, oil painting consist in moving color until you're happy. The setback is you need a lot of patience because it never dries. Is also very difficult to create details. Have you ever mixed both techniques to see if you can have the best of both worlds? Thanks!

Will you be showing the application of the red background?

Very interesting thanks you very 🟥🟪

He wanted to preserve the brilliance of the white, while allowing the reddish earth to tint it. This enhances the ochres that are glazed over later. If you glaze the ochres just right, the effect of a fleshy skin will appear.

I paint all winter. I am. To busy in the summer unless it is raining outside.

products to thin paint: turpentine, lindseed oil

Be nice to occasionally see the masters painting you are working from

Hello- I do not know English. I wanted to ask you. I understood - you do not write with tempera- but with oil. After applying the shadows- you gave time to dry. before you start painting with white titanium paint ?
