Portrait in Oils - Step Two:
(See April 18th post for Step One).
Today I worked with the flesh tones. The paint colors I used were:
* Naples Yellow + tiny drops of Burnt Sienna = flesh tone
(which you may have to lighten or darken depending on the shade of Asian or Caucasin skin tones.)
*Cad Red Light + Titanium White = Pink
(then add tiny drops of pink to the flesh tone.)
For the shadows on the skin I used:
* Alizarin Crimson + Burnt Umber (Van Dyke Brown)
(See April 18th post for Step One).

This is a Work In Progress ("WIP") and the flesh tones and pink clothing will be still worked on until it reaches the saturation of color that I am looking for.
