If you need large quantities, just mix your own color and get the color matched at home depot. They sell 8 ounce jars for cheap. I used to work there and I also use their paints for jewelry, etc.
This helped so much. I'm in 10th grade and I've never painted a portrait but my art teacher expects me to. I didnt know how I should paint it or how to get skin tones. So this helped alot, thank you💞
this has been the most helpful video ive seen on mixing skin tones. im a self taught artist with just the internet as a guide and this definitely provided as an excellent resource. thank you xx
First, thank you for creating the "How to blend" video, extra kudos for the added bonus of "skin tones mixing". Is hard for me to express my gratitude, because in these days of "big tech", simplicity seems like an extinguishing act. I also realize that your technique is not the only one available, but is a hell of a start. Thank You again... PS: Just so you know, artists are charging big bucks for this kind of info on Patreon.
Patreon is platform where artists provide training and gifts in exchange for monthly support. Usually the support pledges range from $1 to $50 per month. What I see most artists do, is display their skills on a youtube channel, and also provide trailers of upcoming full length videos. At the end everyone benefits, the artists raises money to continue developing art, and the supporters learn techniques on the platform. Check it out. Good Luck,
thanks for all this info but I think I'll stick to TH-cam :) what i always liked about TH-cam was the fact that creators can still make money while the watchers don't actually have to pay. I think this is a really great platform but I'll still take note of Patreon in case i change my mind in the future.
Actually, there are lighter skin tones with blue undertones. Some Italians and middle eastern. I've watched portrait painting videos of subjects from those places and the artist used blue undertones and their skin was much lighter than what you have on your last card.
I have been watching hours and hours of acrylic portrait painting videos to do my first portrait . Yours are the best by far. I now feel motivated to actually start my painting. Thank you so much.
I have been up for HOURS studying acrylic portrait paintings...and OMG! Honey you just gave me exactly what I needed....I've never painted a portrait nor used acrylic paint and this first 1 I just attempted was trash! I almost gave up until I found you tutorial...I will try once more...thank you!💛💛
Thank you so much. Im trying to stay away from euro-centric art and you're the first vid I found that mixes darker skin tones. Such a life saver, and you definitely gained yourself a new subscriber
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen for mixing skin tones with acrylic. Thank you for showing the sweet organized value changes with enjoyable commentary. 😊
This is so helpful. I was painting a portrait yesterday and i was so clueless on what to mix to get the correct skin tone and highlights but ended up painting it after a lot of trials and errors.
Holy crap, I've been looking for a good skin tone guide for forever but all the guides I saw never really went into what skin tones were suited for which people! This helped out a lot!
Such a useful, simple palette for skin tones. This is a great introduction to acrylic portrait painting for sure, and I love that you test painting skin tones directly on an image to color match.
Girl THANK YOU so much, this has been incredibly helpful! I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to mix skintones from red, blue and yellow so this technique is god-sent, thank you!!
This is extremely useful! You even showed us how to blend the skin tones onto paper! I’ve alwayd had trouble with the lighting on the painting but wow this really helps me understand so much! Thank you!
This has helped guide me in my direction for painting my miniatures EXPONENTIALLY! I hope to use your knowledge on my long journey to making wondrous art!❤
New oil painter here! Thank you for posting, this is the best video I've seen on mixing skin and undertones for beginners. Most other videos I feel assume the viewer has a base knowledge while this one presents basic knowledge! Also really appreciated the scale visual used! Happy painting!
You just helped me tremendously with my painting and my make up. I thought it was crazy that in order for my make up to blend perfectly with my chocolate skin, It had to have red in it. Now I get it!! Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just want to say thank you so much! I'm painting a portrait for a coworker/friend of mine who is going back home to Jamaica. I started using straight brown with white to make it lighter. the second i got it on the canvas i knew something was wrong. I went looking for vids to help me with skin tones and came across this one. In this short 10 min video I learned so much about mixing skin tones and thanks to u my gift came out so much better. Cant wait to give it to her now! Thank you again.
I think this is the best and easiest to understand lessons on mixing skin tones I have Ever seen....You really make it easy to see how you do it. Thank you so much, I know this helps many people : )
This was very very very helpful and since I'm new when it comes to painting portraits this works so nicely for beginners. I have been doing art for a couple years now but this was so far the best tutorial I have found ever!💯
This video is brilliant thank you for showing in clear steps. I love the skin origin information too it's exactly what I was looking for. I am new to painting and really appreciate you bringing the knowledge of mixing into portrait practice as I found that very helpful and how to add and blend the paint. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm currently attempting a portrait of Frida Kahlo and this tutorial on how to mix skin tone shades helped a lot. And your other tutorial where you painted the face of a beautiful brown-skinned girl also helped me to paint Frida's nose.
Thank you for making plain the basics of skin tones and blending. I’m doing a portrait of my cousin and needed to get a better understanding of blending the colors.
Hey gabby i paint on my spare time as a way to relax and i just started with skin tones your method was so helpful to understand the mixing process thanks so much!
There are so many complex and convoluted color mixing demo videos on here - thank you so much for making one that's so so so clear and simple and useable! I drew out tables and followed your process and its changed my painting approach and work in a huge and awesome way. Thank you so so much for this! 30+ views of this video are all me becuase I go back to it all the time!
This tip helped so much!!! I draw alot of Asian based characters from dark to light and this is a nice, basic tones to start with! Thanks for sharing 💛
Thank you so much for this video. I am doing my first portrait and was struggling with greyness in the skin tone. I have a much better understanding of mixing my skin tones now thanks to you.
I'm doing my first semi portrait and I was so lost as to how to mix skin colours. I experimented so much and it just looked like poopy messy colours. I don't have burnt sienna, definitely buying it tomorrow! You just saved me from a whole lot of frustration! Thank you so much
Thank You for this video I learned a lot of relevant facts that added depth to this experience. You are an Excellent Educator, I found your voice to be so pleasant and your instruction is set at a perfect pace; I didn't have to pause, nor go back again and again. Again, Thank You .
Thank you so much for this teaching video. It’s the best one I have found. So easy to follow and straight forward. You covered everything I needed to know. That’s a valuable lesson about not painting in lines. Also about using paint on or next to the reference picture 🎨♥️
This was the most useful sling tones video I have ever watch. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you helped me! I need to do my first painting with a human being on it, I have no teacher no nothing, I'm stressed bc my background is so pretty and I don't want to mess everything up but you really helped me I know it sounds too much but you deserve the world
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This is probably the simplest explanation for skin tone mixing I’ve seen. You’ve helped me tremendously considering I’m still struggling with color theory. Lol.
I'm going to be painting a hand sculpture of my mom and her husbands hands, and I was needing help with jogging my memory on how to go about painting realistic skin tones again. This is a very helpful video, and I got bonus information too which is always nice! Thanks for the video! (Though it's from 3 years ago.)
I've been looking for tutorials these past few days and this was the most helpful video I've ever watched! Thank you for this. Also, I love your voice!

My biggest problem is when I run out of a mixture and having to recreate the exact same color because I need more.
Marvin Alain Jose Sinchioco same 🤦🏽♀️ you try not to mix to much so you don’t waste and end up running out then can’t make the exact color again
If you need large quantities, just mix your own color and get the color matched at home depot. They sell 8 ounce jars for cheap. I used to work there and I also use their paints for jewelry, etc.
@@desireecobb7491 exactly! Hahaa!!
@@alilrazzledazzle992 Thanks so much for your suggestion!

I have been watching hours and hours of acrylic portrait painting videos to do my first portrait . Yours are the best by far. I now feel motivated to actually start my painting. Thank you so much.
I had to watch artists to figure out why I've never had a foundation that truly match. I'm African, born in Africa but I have very yellow undertone
I have been up for HOURS studying acrylic portrait paintings...and OMG! Honey you just gave me exactly what I needed....I've never painted a portrait nor used acrylic paint and this first 1 I just attempted was trash! I almost gave up until I found you tutorial...I will try once more...thank you!💛💛

*this video is a magic . exactly what I wanted .*
Thank you for the excellent demo and information. Truly, one of the best I viewed. Easy to understand and so applicable.
In 10 minutes you explained it so simple and clear. You are awesome and I thank YOU!!!
