female flesh tone in oils

[godfather]

Any ideas for flesh oil mixes for painting women. I would like to get a colour close to the vallejo "basic flesh" it's kind if peachy pink. I usually use luca's mix but seems to harsh.

Hi,

one day Daniel Ipperti a very good painter told me the mix he uses for women skin.
He mixes Flesh tient with red and yellow. He adds a little of bleu to "colder" the warm tones.
I've not paint women yet, but I'll try for sure this mix.

I just add more white, female tones are usually just a little lighter in my experience.

I agree. Most flesh color look pretty good right out of the tube. For a female, I might do less shading on the face and put in a bit more red color into the cheeks.

I use basic flesh + a little white + touch of cad red. Be careful not to get it too red.
