In this tutorial you can see step by step the copying of a Caravaggio, about 20 hours in a 17 minute clip.

It is painted in oil with the original pigments of this time. My palette was:
Lead White
Yellow Ocher
Venetian Red
Vermillion
Red Lake Natural (dark)
Burnt Siena
Umber Natural and Burnt
Van Dyck Brown
Black Roman Earth
Natural Iron Earth

The size of the painting is 81x110cm (32x43in). I applied a thick oil bound ground to have a non-absorbant surface. During the painting I use only some fast drying oil, no solvents or things like that.
Two short parts of the video are unfortunately in a bad quality. This are parts of the livestream.

Take time to watch the video, I hope you enjoy!
