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

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

using my secret family application method,

which gives the finish a very transparent look.

On mostly all my guitars, I personally mix all colors by hand,

using High Quality English Oil paints.  

Then I apply and blend by hand, using my thumb,

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

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

I use the Leonardo DaVinci Method of blending colors

called Sfumato,

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

or blurred. In Italian, the word is used often as an adjective (such as biondo sfumato for pale 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 a fine shading meant to produce a soft transition between colours and tones, in order to achieve a more believable image.

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

The technique was used not only to give an elusive and illusionistic rendering of the human face, but also to create rich atmospheric effects Leonardo Da Vinci,

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