~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the Leaf art isprotected and sealed with light coats of my all natural varnish,

using my secret familyapplication method,

which gives the finisha very transparent look.

On mostly all myguitars, I personally mix all colors by hand,

using High QualityEnglish Oil paints.  

Then I apply and blendby hand, using my thumb,

fingers and palm toget the desired mix. I use absolutely no brushes at all !

Except to put on thetop clear coats, I use very expensive, fine Animal Hair brushes...

I use the LeonardoDaVinci Method of blending colors

called Sfumato,

The word sfumato comesfrom the Italian language and is derived from fumo ("smoke","fume"). Sfumato translated into English means soft, vague,

or blurred. InItalian, the word is used often as an adjective (such as biondo sfumato forpale blonde hair) or as a verb (l'affare è sfumato would mean"the deal has gone up in smoke").

The use of the term(unlike some others) dates back to the period when da Vinci introduced it.

The technique is afine shading meant to produce a soft transition between colours and tones, inorder to achieve a more believable image.

 It is most oftenused by making subtle gradations that do not include lines or borders, fromareas of light to areas of dark.

The technique was usednot only to give an elusive and illusionistic rendering of the human face, butalso to create rich atmospheric effects Leonardo Da Vinci,

described thetechnique as blending colours, without the use of lines or borders "in themanner of smoke".
