This is a very popular piece brian,I really like the flesh tones,have you changed your usual technique for faces on this one ?

 

[fabrizio1969]

bery fine,like special the skin tone

 

[Mike Stevens]

That's super interesting Brian, I'll follow this one.

 

[brian]

I always try to use different flesh tones when i can.This is my basic skin tone, with a bit of blue and raw umber to grey it down more than usual.I really don't have a face painting formula as such,but i use different undercoats, on different faces, as i find with oils the undercoat dictates the final result.This particular face, was oils applied over a grey primer.
