Ok guys, as promised, this is how i make my face pallet.
You see thee 3 sambal disposables.
I mix a medium tone a dark tone and a light tone. About 50% thinned.
On my wet pallet you easy get the 2 mid tones, that means you have 5 tones.
With one very light tone on the left side of my pallet with light skin and some ochre yellow glazes you have color 6.
On the right on the pallet you see some purple, deep red, track brown and english uniform.
These colors only come with the very dilluted glazes.
I dilute the glazes almost transparant. In some case to finish you need more than 20 glazes. Sometimes it is a stroke with your brush, if you want to highligt a line. If highlighted an area or a bigger spot it is better to stipple use your brush.
my mix for a basic skin tone is brown sand, beige red and basic skintone
Advantage of the sambal pots is that these 3 basic colors are consistent on a second or third pallet.
In the pot the colors are ready to use for weeks or even months, because they are dilluted and air tight closed.
if you have questions just ask.
Extreme highlights can be achieved with pure light skin tones but always highly dilluted.
Be aware in this case your brush is dry with just a tiny bit of paint on the tip. This is to prevent the paint from running on your model. Greetz John,
