tutorial – how to mix skin tones | oil paint

Description

I always found mixing skin tones extremely difficult. As I started with oil portraits I searched for a good tutorial but it was so hard to find.

In most of the tutorials color brands or specific details weren’t mentioned. The hint to use a cobalt violet isn’t really a great help – different brands lead to completely different results. So I tried many different ways on my own and I tried many different oil brands to find a way which works best for me.

In this tutorial I will show you my way to mix skin tones
