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

  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.

  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.

  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.

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

  Now I understand why Leonardo explored the mathematics of reflection and refraction—from Greek and Arab sciences to those of the early Renaissance—as well as possibly the Eastern painting techniques of China and Japan. He sought to create the Mona Lisa using sfumato.<br>Your painting is also stunning. Thanks for showing it to us.

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