are there guidline books on achieving the right or nearly right colour mixture in oil? I spend my weekendsin fornt of my easel, struggling to mix the colours i see in my in my mind and put them on the canvas. Sometimes i almost want to cry out sheer frustration. I try not to mix more than 3 colours at a time, but where it often or at times goes wrong, i think, is with the amounts of, say, colour types that i mix. Human flesh colour, in all its vareities and hues is also another headache. To put a long story short, are or is there a book with illustrations of colour types and what clours to mix to achieve them and more improtant, a piece of advies on what amounts of each type to mix to get near the colour types as in the illustration. I know this is a silly wish, but all the same i would be eternally grateful to whoever proffers me an advies on this.
God bless!
