Hello, Very nice. I was wondering: what colors did you use for the bottom lip area? which reds? That tone is difficult to achieve, which is why I ask. Also, what colors do you use on your palette? and what medium do you use to thin out the oil paint? linseed? be awesome to know.

Great work! thanks for sharing!

Hi du you have a tutorial on this particular video my problem is the skin tones .

[seamusberkeley]

@914peru The only video so far is the "Fundamentals of Painting" DVD which covers the basics. Skin tone mixing skills are best acquired by methodically learning to mix all colors first, then working from life.

i love how you hold the brush i cold never hold it like that . it looks like your just slapping the paint on but it comes together in such fine detail you make it look effortless i wish i cold paint half as good as you
