Question

how to mix skin colored paint?

Answer 1

Mostly white with red (pink tones) and a bit of yellow (skin tone). Brown also helps neutralize the color.



You can purchase nude skin tone pigments at any art store, but it's always a good thing to practice from scratch.

Answer 2

orange and add white and maybe a little brown until it looks right

Answer 3

Mix red and yellow for your orange base. Mix in white to make it lighter and more yellow or red as necessary. Use purple or yellow with some purple for the shadows. Yellow and white for highlights.

Add in more red where necessary.

Answer 4

My Mom used to make all her flesh tones from scratch. She used:



Mostly "Burnt Sienna", some "Vermillian", and a little "White":

These were the only colors she used, but after 30 years of painting she just sort of eyeball'd it - saved a sample of the previous batch, and made the new batch to match it. More instinct than anything else. Skin tones always looked natural to me.
