I think my biggest problem in painting skin is that I always wanna see a radical difference in my colours on the pallet. A lot of it has to do with me being impatient so if its not a crazy difference, its too slow, so i do crazy saturations and crazy colours. After these two streams I'll sit down and do some self-portrait studies:)
Can you mix water mixable oils with regular traditional oil paints? Or can you use walnut or linseed oil with the water mixable oils? I know that oil and water don’t mix lol but still curious if this applies to the paint. I have quite a collection of random paints from art subscription boxes and some are water an some are traditional but I have the basic colors I would need among all of them
I'm not 100% sure, but what I've noticed is that most manufacturers have say a linseed oil that is made specifically for their water mixable oils. What I do is whatever I'm using, I try to stick with the products that are in that same line of paint, I am going to guess there is a reason why they make a linseed oil that is specifically for traditional oils, and another one that is specifically for water mixable oils. -Prof Lieu
I struggle with that too, gouache can be so hard to work with! We do have a tutorial here if you'd like to check it out :) th-cam.com/video/0I7DnrfskI0/w-d-xo.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
For me gouache sometimes do that too! It’s always the white for me personally that does a strange gray cast. Like the color can really change a lot along with opacity. I might suggest starting with higher saturation with the warm colors in skin and slowly adding in white.
Don't despair, your kids are probably just too young to fully appreciate the brilliance of The Princess Bride. Once they grow up a bit, they will come around. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill-ed my father. Prepare to die." I think whenever you do something regarding education that outrages academia you're probably on the right path. You are now being vindicated.

I love your energy! I enjoy watching your videos purely for your enthusiasm and education is second 🙂
Thank you so much!! That's how it should be, haha - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I did the art along, but actually watching later was very helpful. I'll watch 3rd time and try mixing again.
That's amazing!! We're so glad it's helpful :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

That's so exciting, have a great time! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Would you say, for a beginner, That this palette would be a good starting point for oil painting? If not, do you have a good recommendation?
For sure! I always steer towards burnt sienna, alizarin crimson, phalo or ultramarine blue, & yellow ochre :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thank you for your reply, I use acrylics
Acrylics are awesome for painting portraits :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
