    I stood in front of an awe inspiring DaVinci painting at the Scottish National Museum. The blending of light, dark and color was flawless. It was better blended than Kim Kardashian's makeup.

    Don’t apologize for your English. Your English is much better than our Greek.

  • @Flyingrabbit2222

    Your accent is not a problem. Thank you for this demonstration!

  • @Leemac--gg1

    it's not a struggle to understand you plus your accent is lovely.

  • @Herr_Vorragender

    Bro, your english is so wonderfully clear that I easily watch and listen to your video at 2x speed

  • @JWMCMLXXX

    I draw. And I make digital artwork.

    Well done. A fine demonstration of how little color is actually applied in the highlights and transition areas. And don't apologize for your english language usage. English is a difficult language to master, even when born in countries where it is the primary spoken and written language. My 2nd language is Hungarian, but I would fear to be suddenly transported to Budapest and try to be understood. Too many years of not using it. Fortunately, your art can speak for you. Don't stop learning.

    Your English is good enough for me. You made it very clear that your video is on how to imitate the Sfumato technique, not how to do the actual Sfumato of da Vinci and Caravaggio.

  • @brucetidwell7715

    This was very educational. Thank you, so much. Your accent is completely clear and if people can't understand you, it is their problem!

  • @user-of2su2wv9f

    You speak better English than most Americans, in my opinion. I am surrounded by a litigious bunch here in the United States. The English I was taught starting seventy years ago hardly communicates art and science any longer. Thank you, my friend. 😊🙏

  • @ospitefisso9582

    Leonardo's sfumato is very similar to the process used for Byzantine sacred icons. You are very good and I bet that the monks of Mount Athos were your teachers.

  • @rebeccamd7903

    I didn’t know this was a technique for painting, but this is the only way I can paint. It feels like 2d sculpting and is so nice to be able to add depth to light and shadow in a more natural way.

  • @javierasensio2269

    Well, being Spanish your accent sounds great to me and pretty clear. Actually I've always thought that every English accent is good for every speaker but native English speakers who nobody understands but themselves. Anyway your work is excellent and thank you very much for the videos. They're being really instructive for me!

  • @Chaotic313

    I love the way you speak - no apologies necessary! Thank you for this wonderful lesson.❤

    The thumbnail was so stunning I had to click. You are so talented, wow!!

  • @ThomiBMcIntyre

    Such a lovely portrait. I love how you can lean so heavily into historical technique, yet still have your hands and eyes shine

  • @Asraakramawan

    Beautiful work. I love how charming you are. It's delightful to hear your voice. Don't worry about the haters. You are precious and so is your art.

  • @DarkForestAtmosphere

    Wonderful painting. Thank you so so much for your detailed explanation. It's fantastic and very helpful.

  • @andrewsices

    My heart is soaring! Thank you for sharing this technique.

  • @lcox6468

    WOW the way you explain and show this technique is fantastic. I’ve heard about it but you are the first one I’ve seen do it and now I understand it better. Your accent is fine, no need to mute😂😂. Thank you for this I am not as scared of it now, not ready for it though. Your work is Magnificent.🇦🇺
