Excellent explanation of creating base color for flesh tones and then variations on a variety of other flesh tones after adding different colors from palette.

This video has been way more helpful that most others that I have viewed that dont teach you base colors to start with. Every simple and easy to understand.

Lots of frustration and questions on this issue have now been answered. Great Lesson.

Very useful! I've struggled with mixing skin tones. After watching this short video, I realize that I've been overthinking skin tone colors and making it way to difficult on myself. This video made my day by simplifying skin tone mixes. A great short lesson on base skin tones and shadows and highlights.

Great, just wish it was about an hour longer and he taught portrait painting.
