@Chinasky1976 thank you for helping me to understand the purpose for each of these layers. I am a novice and am experimenting with different techniques and styles. It is very helpful and thank you for your kindness. You do beautiful work and should be very proud. I have developed great admiration for artists like you who can turn a blank canvas into beauty. I hope to join the ranks some day.

@Chinasky1976 thanks for your reply
im very new to oil so im not sure what tempera is
i was thinking if it work work if i did a detailed pencil sketch and then added a thin down layer of oil on top to make the under layer .. and then painted the colour layer over that.. would that work?
thanks again ^_^ ...

@WDAVID002 Thank you! Please to help you! :)
Hai Chinasky1976, Im actually new to oil painting especially on the usage of different mediums but I however am very excited on the old masters technique. Would you mind telling me the difference betweeb Umbra underlayering and Dead underlayer..Some of the other videos said that during Umbra you can use Either oil or acrylic...Is this true? Thank you for your time and Im so happy that you made this video, Its absolutely great for young artist like myself to make it as an inspiration..

You can use acrylics for umbra layer but then you have to isolate it from oil with, for example, a coat of a light varnish (I use liquin thinned at 50% with petroleum essence).
Thank you for your appreciation :)

Dead layer: it cover the lighter areas, it could be done with a complete sequence of different tones of grey (from black to white) or thinning and blending only one (or few) light tone.

Umbra layer: it's made by one earth colour. To achieve different tones you have to thin or blend your paint, don't mix it with white or opaque colors in general.

amazeing, im planning on doing a painting in this style for my art exam thats comeng up ... the problem is that i only have 12 hours to do it in ... will the under layers dry within a day?

@theTRUE1414 Every layer must be dry before the next layer. In 12 h it's not possible even with liquin or other siccative. The only way is a mixed technique. Could you use tempera or egg tempera for the under layers? If yes, I think you can achieve a good result...obviously tempera is not so versatile like oil but dry fast. When you have your underpainting you can paint with oil colors to finish.
Thank you:)
