Re: Skin tones
: Hei : I'm always in trouble when it comes to mixing a skin-color in OIL. It's always ending up with a brown blurry and not well looking color.: Can anyone help,with an easy description.: Lot of thanks from DenmarkHello, some of my ancestors were Danish--most were British, but the Danes controlled England for a long time so hopefully this will actually help:when I paint myself I use lots of white, a little yellow ocher, transparent red earths and a little bit of cerelean blue. Green earth or a greenish umber is good to put in shadows in a first layer. Then I'll put in a pinkish layer using the red earths with the blue in spots where my blood vessels show. On top I use white mixed with a little red earth with dabs of yellow for where the sun got me. (I don't tan much.) For people who really are brown I've been thinking some burnt umber would be beautiful, but I'm not sure how to put in the initial shadows. I haven't had the audacity to ask my friends to sit still for me.
