Sfumato has been described in Buchholz's, " Leonardo da Vinci" as an especially soft almost inperceptable gradation of tone and shade in a painting.

Leonardo himself said, "...that light and shade should merge into each other without any visible transitions, as if a fine veil of mist was shrouding the objects."

In terms of your own inate creativity, sfumato is every connection, soft and subtle as they are, between the all and the everything. And you must explore each of them, as fully as possible, in your quest for everyone of those magical ideas.

And the ideas will surely show themselves, not long after you begin now.
