Caravaggio Technique Tutorial - St. John the Baptist

A lot you asked me which brand of paint I use. I make my own paint. It´s made of pure pigment and linseed or safflower oil in organic quality. There are no fillers in like plaster, chalk, baryt or wax. Also there are no additional things in like siccatives. Only the pure pigment und oil, like the Old Masters did. So I made some more tubes of oils which you can buy in my shop: This was one of the paintings, I could see in the museum before painting. So I took a lot of photos and tried to use the original colours and tones. Surely I also painted some old, yellowed mastix- or dammarvarnish - but I like this “museumtone“! The main colours are: Leadwhite, Ocher, Siena, Umber, Vermillion, Bone Black Hope you enjoy the video!!
