Guys,
Thanks again for the very kind comments. I do hope to try and get better but for where I am now I guess it will have to do.
Jim and the rest, here is my crazy new approach.
Oils Base: Mars Brown + Cad Lemon + A flesh color (W/N of Rembrandt) + Tit White
Shadows: Mars Brown + Burnt Umber
deeper: Burnt Umber
Deepest: Purple Madder Aliz.
Highlights: Naples Yellow + Tit White
Higher: more Tit White
Highest: Tit White
The acrylics are then applied afterwards.
Highlight: #804 Beige Red
Highest: #804 Beige Red + #815 Basic Skintone
Shadow: #941 Burnt Umber
Deeper # 941 Burnt Umber + #859 Cadmium Maroon
Here are a few examples. I also use this for the veins and fingernails.
