Michelangelo Technique with Egg Tempera

My new teachable course on realistic portraits
painting-the-light.teachable....
In this video I study Delphic Sibyl an amazing painting of Michelangelo from the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel. It's on of the most wonderful portraits of all time and one of the first artworks I ever saw as a reproduction. I discuss a new way of looking artworks and nature that will greatly improve your artistic skills.
Thank you so much for commenting, asking questions and participating in the channel. Its really nice to see your artistic progress and to share it here.

Love learning all about you and your work and particularly your egg tempera techniques. I am now painting in egg tempera after using watercolour for years. No idea what I'm doing but loving the medium 😊

[@nickstar21team]

Dear friend Antonis, I see once again how close you are to the original image. I still pay attention to how great visual material you upload. I would like to see you do the color mixing, I think it will help us a lot.Thank you very much.

This is my favourite Sibyl, beautiful! Love the flesh tones Her eyes look so expressive too, Another very helpful video, appreciated

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

As usual, you are a great artist. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge in each video. I’m trying to watch more of your videos and they are very inspiring. It is amazing how easy you make it look, but we all know it is a matter of practice, patience and a great deal of observation. Each vídeo is a great treat. You are the only one of few artists who puts out great quality videos and their content are remarkable. I would love to know the colors of your palette to become more familiar. Blessings, take care.

[@joycetheroux879]

So beautiful, thank you so much!❤

[@Happyheart146]

I hadn't heard of tempera until watching you. I totally get it, how soft and luminous it makes the paint! I've watched a few of your videos now. You are indeed a good artist and the most inspiration I've found. Which was very much needed! Thank you so much!

I have just discovered your wonderful you tube videos. Very, very inspiring! Thankyou. I will now try egg tempera painting my friend. I painted an icon many years ago with fluid acrylics . It was quite succesful , but the small strokes didn't blend easily. Thankyou again! One question, the word sounding in English like," proposmoss" ...does this mean " underpainting" ? Yours, peter

[@danielet.839]

Hello Antonis! I'm following your channel and your videos since some months, and I want to give you my best congratulations for your amazing artistic abilities and your clearness when you explain your works : ) I also would like to ask you something: what kind of surface you used for the renaissance painting reproductions, like this beautiful Michelangelo's Sybilla or the Annunciation by Beato Angelico, and where I can find this material?

[@PaintingtheLight]

Thank you so much! This is how I create my panels. This guy here makes them perfectly kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWTVnGCkg8R5bas

[@danielet.839]

@@PaintingtheLight Uhm, so it's more or less the same surface on which you paint the orthodox icons? Interesting! But it can also used for common water-tempera painting?

[@PaintingtheLight]

@@danielet.839 Yes

@@PaintingtheLight Oh very well, then! Thank you so much for your help, Antonis: I hope you will keep going to share your videos and your art, because I think they have a great cultural and artistic value, in addition to being extremely inspiring for anyone who wants to approach to this amazing art form. And, obviously, I will keep going to follow you with great interest. My best greetings from Italy, or more precisely, Sicily!

Dear Antonis, your videos are very useful and inspiring. Thank you! Would you be kind to recommend us some of the tools/utensils you use for iconography? Give us some tips? What materials would you recommend? And furthermore, also please be kind to make some videos for beginners. Thank you!

[@PaintingtheLight]

Τhank you so much AES for your comments and your great ideas! I will slcertainly try to make videos on my utensils and tools although my main tools are my kolinsky brushes! Do you have any specific ideas for beginners' videos you would like me to upload?

[@leawarring4981]

When you make your story strokes on the painting do you follow the contour of the icon?

[@PaintingtheLight]

Yes

[@lampa2411]

can you make a video regarding how to make the underpainting for a photo like this?

[@PaintingtheLight]

Τhank you! This is a great idea and I will keep it in mind!! :)

[@rogodoy100]

Dear Antonius, thank you for the great tutorial. One question: in the original the girl has black hair in one side and blonde on the other?

[@PaintingtheLight]

Thank you so much.... No I don't think so! Her hair is partially covered by her cloth...

[@dalienpedro3291]

I was told that egg tempera dries hard and waterproof. is it true because mine can be washed off when I paint water over it? Am I doing something wrong?

[@alifarley8766]

It takes a few months for it to become waterproof I believe.

[@PaintingtheLight]

Egg tempera recipe: 1part yolk, 1 part water few drops vinegar..

[@dalienpedro3291]

@@PaintingtheLight Yes. I do use it like that. I even tried 1 part of white wine instead of water.

[@PaintingtheLight]

@@dalienpedro3291 then you should be fine. Just wait for each layer to dry properly. why paint water on egg tempera?

Почему бы и нет особенно хорошо «dry brush»!
