Sfumato is an oil painting technique for softening the transition between colors using thin glazes. This technique creates a smooth, gradual transition between tones and colors, often resulting in a smoky or hazy effect. It was famously used by Leonardo da Vinci in paintings such as the "Mona Lisa" to achieve realistic and subtle shading.
