Classical Oil Painting Timelapse - Verdaccio

Cristal de Medici ⚜️
Here's a time-lapse video showing my traditional painting process. A multi-layer painting method used in Renaissance period with the notable use of Verdaccio for rendering skin tone. Verdaccio is a greenish/gray underpainting sitting behind a transparent skin tone layer. This results a translucent blend of warm and cool tones, producing a much realistic flesh in portrait painting. This technique was popularized by Italian masters during the 15th century, until it was replaced by "direct" painting method like Alla Prima.
Oil on canvas, 16in x 20in 2022. This portraiture is modeled by my wife.
