Caravaggio Technique - Chiaroscuro

[@venetiancat]

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 KZbin 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.

[@alex24mamba]

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.

[@Cillekat]

Florent Farges is really good at explaining colour mixing.

[@tamibonestudio]

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.

[@jordanfein1612]

it's funny as a painter i do watch these videos before bed not to relax but to hopefully dream of painting!

[@chimrichalds2119]

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

[@donaldquirk7801]

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

[@PaintingtheLight]

Τhank you so much ❤️❤️

[@daphnemarais1540]

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 👍

[@mjrewerts]

Trying is never a failure, not trying is. Excellent tutorial and very inspiring! 👍🏼❤️

[@thomastakeshita4979]

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

[@Древожизнивечной]

Так мало хороших мастеро, Вы лучший. Прекрасные видео

[@wetpaint6354]

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..

[@Thomas-vh9th]

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.

[@julianaldanaangel7290]

Aprendí mucho con este video, lo haces ver sencillo, y aprendí muy fácil ❤

[@judihopewell2499]

I love this process because it allows you to glaze multiple times over it…..fascinating…

[@ranta234]

Thank you! It was amazing! My deepest respect to the author!

[@lindsayandjasonjohnson3124]

Wonderful! Thank you. I took an online grisaille class once years ago but forgot all the steps. Thank you! Watched the whole thing and you've inspired me to start again.

[@jeffm3283]

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

[@sashahera5679]

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

[@calvinjohnson2179]

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.

[@nancyfagan8687]

Your video is a beautiful demonstration of using a technique I have yet to try. Thank you.

[@markmari7]

Είσαι καταπληκτικός , μοναδικό ταλέντο και με εμπνέεις. Αγαλιάζει η ψυχή μου όταν βλέπω την δουλειά σου

[@Natalia-hh8nl]

Thank you for bringing real art to World, giving us light. Best wishes

[@elenabujanblasco3365]

Me gustaría que sus videos pudieran subtitular se en español. Somos muchos los artistas que no comprendemos el inglés que estaríamos muy interesados en sus lecciones de arte.Gracias

[@nitinchandorkar1170]

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

[@sergeitishin9417]

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

[@dinal806]

I just love all art .. love Caravaggio.. Renaissance .. 💙 all art ❤

[@tzzeek]

Me too, except the banana taped to À wall

[@armsordyl]

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.

[@fayee8986]

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.

[@ThemanthelegendKenny]

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

[@mojophe1617]

Thank you for enriching my day with your knowledge and time. Superb tutorial

[@adcreations3525]

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

[@arabellaarabella3035]

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.

[@isabellastellini9756]

Thank you Antonis. Simply brilliant work. God bless you

[@PaintingtheLight]

Isabella thank you soo much!!! Glad you liked it!!

[@KimMaupin-s7b]

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.

[@PaintingtheLight]

Thank you so much for sharing this

[@wetpaint6354]

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!

[@IoannisLeventis]

Εύγε εξαιρετικό! Έψαχνα καιρό να βρω καποιο αναλυτικό βίντεο οδηγό για Caravaggio για να κάνω σπουδη και μόλις βρήκα το καλύτερο και το πιο επεξηγηματικό ! Και πάλι μπράβο , συνέχισε την πολύ καλή δουλειά που κάνεις!

[@PaintingtheLight]

Ιωάννη ευχαριστώ πολύ!!

[@havanoid76]

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.

[@rodneywarren140]

Thank you for your work…I have enjoyed watching and listening to your videos and hope to practice the egg Tempera techniques for icons.

[@haidaralhaibi4416]

I admire your content ... ♥️.. Thanks for sharing.

[@PieDeLimon13]

I love this so much. You have inspired me.

[@nikkiswenson54]

Thank you! Great to watch this interesting video about how Carravagio might have approached his techniques...😀

[@PaintingtheLight]

Thank you Nikki!! I'm glad you liked it!!

[@christopherbland2310]

Wonderful demonstration!

[@felipeiglesias]

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!

[@Nvdatan]

Hi I’m sooo happy I’ve found ur channel

[@kelvinpoetra]

Hi sir, I like the painting you made. Is there any reference to a good paint brand for painting, be it acrylic paint or watercolor paint if you use it?

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

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

[@doron920]

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?

[@Lara-ym2py]

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

[@mikegalway4733]

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

[@TheLord_MyShepherd]

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. 😎

[@VazgShah79]

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 always liked to paint it started young then I took art in high school now with all the internet imformation and being retired I have more time.

[@tariqsiddique1383]

Excellent. Stay blessed

[@WMedl]

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?

[@AlexisOchoa_]

This is awesome!

Thank you Leo!!!

[@trudyvanzijp1230]

Thank you for showing your demo‼️just started to study this exercise in the academy thanks again👍

[@CatTurner2022]

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!

[@GnaReffotsirk]

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.

[@chrissaunders9727]

Thank you Antonis another great lesson i admire your work it is very enjoyable look forward to see more .

[@PaintingtheLight]

Thank you so much Chris!

[@AdCreative-ik7dg]

Thanks for sharing 👏👍

[@amir1977sw]

Thank you for sharing... 🙏

[@markcornelius8802]

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? :)

[@angelalonzo8693]

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

[@markcornelius8802]

@@angelalonzo8693 Thank you, angel! Antonis certainly used it to beautiful and dramatic effect, did he not? And you sound familiar with the technique of chiaroscuro. I will study and try to absorb the lesson :)

Great work thanks for the sharing ❤️👌

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 ?
