Portrait painting: A simple and easy way to understand the approach to mixing dark skin tone. By Ben Lustenhouwer.
Many people have asked me to explain the basic colors of a dark skin complexion.

It is my intention to publish more of everything I know about portrait painting .
And I want this information to be free for everyone. Some compensation for my efforts comes from the publicity which you see appearing occasionally. I hope you don't find it too annoying.
Until now I received the most nice and grateful reactions from all over the world.
