How Mona Lisa was painted

 







How Mona Lisa was painted




He painted her on a base of red-brown ochre.
He dressed her in iron oxide and vegetable browns.
The colours of her chest were those of red ground and bone black
The hue on her skin was lead white and Flanders yellow.
The shadows on her face – burnt amber and black ink.
