Searched the Net for info on mixing skintones. Yours was streets ahead of the (many) others. Clear explanations applicable to any portrait. Thank you so much!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Awesome, thank you!

[@WateryStar]

Very comprehensive video and just what I was looking for, thanks!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Great to hear!

[@sharynjackson8158]

Thank you Michelle

This was an extremely informative lesson on skin tone. Not only did you show how to mix virtually any skin color from the primaries, but you also went into detail about skin texture and how it will affect the choice of pigments. Thank you for another great video!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

My pleasure :-)

[@valeriegehling4358]

As always I found this video informative but, before I paint a person I will remind myself of the colour mixes you teach.Thanks

[@kaarlimakela3413]

Wow. 😊

You must have been reading my mind Michele, as this subject was going to be my question in your "Ask Me Anything" FB post yesterday 😅 Thank you for the excellent information and advice. Next time I am digging up zombies I will think of you fondly 🤣 😍 Take care of yourself. ❤️ A xxx

I'll have to come and watch this one again some time, and actually take notes and do some mixes myself, along with you.

This was a very helpful video as I thought just the opposite about blues as far as warmth! Faces are not my favorite but I have several paintings I must finish and this will help a lot.

[@shiirachan1]

Very informative video, thank you!!

[@edzejandehaan9265]

Hi. Funny coincidence, I have just today experimented a bit with skintones. Used a mix of raw sienna, magenta and cerelean blue. Liked the result. Now I will have a look at your tips (started writing this at the beginning of the vid). Also joined your facebook group today, being a long time follower of your youtube channel thought it was about time.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

It's a great group, thanks for joining!

[@phyllisd3705]

Thank you for the advice about using a viewfinder! Also, relying on split primary colors instead of premixed colors is really helpful.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

I love you program because I like watercolor

No problem at all Alicia ☺️

Excellent video! I need to create a view finder. It helps so much to help one focus on the actual color!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Yes it really helps!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Well this is definitely a great help for me to learn how to mix up colors for skin tones. I need to take some practice time to mix skin tones. I have been using Titanium Buff & adding some Lemon Yellow, Quinacrine Rose, Burt Sienna, depending on the the skin tones I am looking for.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Titanium buff is such a useful colour!

Skin tone is such a huge subject! As soon as I think about it, my head explodes. Of course there’s also glazing, charging techniques, and level of opacity that drive the subject even deeper.. and let’s not forget the power environment has over hues, which could change a skin tone drastically… phew, such a challenging topic to cover 😖

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

It is, so many considerations!

[@jimorlowski5051]

such a good class, very comprehensive and clear...

This was such a helpful tutorial! Thank you! I would love to see you do more actual paintings of people now to see how you apply these ideas.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you! Will do. I tend not to do many portraits in my own work, but I like symbolic images: Statues, Geisha, Day of the dead make up, Venetian costume wearers etc

[@Melanie44Michael]

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I don't do many portraits either but want to do one of my son when he visited the Sahara desert soon to give him for Christmas. So your skin tone mixing is really timely for me.

No wonder not many people do portraits, it’s way more complicated to think about and plan than anything else to paint.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Indeed it is!

[@bmikula1861]

i like and subscribed after watching several videos . i like your style in both painting and philosophy . plus you are very beautiful , i like your accent but its a little fast for me being from USA. the skin tone mixing video was difficult for me because iam new to watercolor. However i will not give up on watercolor.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Correct skin tones are always darker than you think you need! I think it's because there's no other values around it. Once you put in clothes, hair, background, the skin might even need darkening.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Very true!
