Caucasian
Afro-Caribbean/African American
Mixrace

Help please :D

Answer 1

For all skin colors I use the same basic palette



Quinacridone rose

new gamboge

cobalt

burnt sienna

indigo

white and/or off-white in acrylic



Caucasian skin can made with just quin. rose and new gamboge in various mixtures. I also sometimes add a touch of cobalt or burnt sienna if needed (since there are tons of different skin colors in each 'type' of skin). I sometimes use white and/or off-white if I am painting with acrylic thicker than is typical for me.



African American skin can be made with quin. rose, new gamboge, burnt sienna, and a little cobalt. I also add indigo for shadows or in the skin color if it is very dark skin (again, since there are tons of different skin colors in each 'type' of skin).



All of the other types of skin are made with the same 5 - 7 colors in different combination.



I use these same colors for both acrylic and watercolor portrait and figure paintings. I also work in colored pencil with Prismacolor pencils and use peach, light peach, white cream, thio violet, canary yellow, true blue, burnt sienna, dark brown, indigo in various combination for the skin colors.



I prefer Daniel Smith for watercolor paint, Golden Acrylic for acrylic paint, and Prismacolor for colored pencils.

1 whole part white 1/2 red 1/2 yellow mixing them together will give you a peach color. You may need to darken or lighten it. Adding brown will give you a darker complexion, but if you need more brown skin I would recommend using less white. Because the mixture will look too grey if you have too much white and brown. There are also pre-mixed flesh colored paints that you can lighten or darken as you need. Be sure to have a lighter and darker value to the color that you do use, so that you can establish values within the painting. I'm sorry about your loss. You will make them proud!

Answer 4

People are generally happy to live and be alive. That is why I reason why people are made from warm skin colours. If not,...there will always be people who feel blue. Warm people make that person well again. The general and foundamental colour of people's spirits will bring that person back up to health again.



I'm natural attracted to people who are positive, regardless of colour. I've blue/cold before, but it has been the warm colours of others that have influenced me to continue onward.
