One thing I would suggest for future is to use a wider palette for skintones, this seems to be painted in shades of one flesh hue, but realistic skin is made of bits of pink, light blue, dark violet, dark red etc., depending on the complexion and lighting. See this cool reference: [link]
If you overlap these colors in thin transparent glazes, you can get pretty realistic look because skin is translucent
all these paintings are a real challenge for me, skin can be one of them deffinnitely. i try to use alot of blues mixed in with the reds for the darker shades but i get a little crazy when it comes to blend and well.
there you have it
id love to do a really nice blushy, purply shadow piece sometime like you see in watercolors a bit easier (there again with the transparent glazes!)
but thanks for the great tip! i will be using that for my next portrait
Yeah, skin is one of the biggest painting challenges. Awesome, I'm looking forward to that!
