Amatuer here. Doing a portrait of my dad and its beige city. Losing both temperature and chroma. This video and your skin tones tutorial is seriously life-changing. You make it so easy to grasp. Deeply grateful. Stay well.

That is hilarious!!!!!!! Now I can never un-see that. Love it.

Interesting technique. It's hard to see in a video exactly what is happening (for me, I don't agree that the values are the same in the skin tone or the blue). I wonder if part of the "magic" is that paint looks better when it is not completely even in tone? So adding in a bit more chromatic colours when the mix is 99% there (and then don't over mixing it) would give it more life.

[@MichaelKingArt]

Yes, there is a small value shift, there has to be if you are adding a touch more colour in. Values are so close it doesn't really matter.

Hi there!! I have just stepped into colour portrait paintings. I was looking for these ideas. I will try this idea. One more thing I want to ask that For First Layer in Portrait Painting, Do we have to make the foundation colour same for all type of skins. Also please make a detailed video on this. I will really appreciate it. Thanks and Lots of love from India.

[@MichaelKingArt]

You can make the first layer any colour you prefer. It’s the values that matter. Please watch my other video on mixing skin tones.

[@yogeshmehra1984]

Can you please make a video for beginners specially in Acrylics. Being a beginner all my colors on pallate gets dry very fast coz I m taking time in mixing. Pls help

[@MichaelKingArt]

Sorry, I don’t really work in acrylics. I mostly use oils. There has to be someone with great acrylic videos on KZbin. Best of luck.

[@sansandra4085]

what paint is this?

[@MichaelKingArt]

I use Gamblin oil paints

[@RichardX22]

This video doesn't make sense to me. If you just added less white to begin with you'd end up with the same effect, no?

[@MichaelKingArt]

+Richard ! Give it a try and let me know your results.
