Oils Mixing flesh....useful video

[Colin_Fraser]

Found this very useful video of oil mixes for portraits while researching on youtube.

Another similar but longer one by a different provider. Nice colour theory brush up too when he talks about greys, value, compliments etc.

I have now bookmarked these, thanks crf.
13 colours for all tone's of flesh, I need to update my oil's.

A bit daft for a 54mm but potentially useful for a large bust.

Bet he has never used a number 000 brush . Bit OTT as you say for a 54mm.

but the basics are there.

After going round the houses many times and getting nowhere, I've gone back to basics so at the minute I'm only using Yellow Ochre, Cad Red, Paynes Grey and White for flesh tones. You'd be surprised how versatile this palette is.

If I had that many paints on my palette I would spend all my time just trying to remember what colour was what and never get anything done but they are useful videos nonetheless

If I mixed half of those colours I'd on the route for mud.

Thanks for the link.

I really enjoyed that first video,I will definately use some of these colours in my flesh mixes in future,as mentioned already,this is not really practicable for people painting in 54mm

A bit daft for a 54mm but potentially useful for a large bust.

What colors should i have for 1/35 figs? I have tried the Verlinden method of oil painting but i`m not satisfied with the result....
