10 tips for painting skin tones

Mix the perfect shade for skin tones from dark to light.

All skin tones range from base colours of oranges through to browns. You first need to find the local colour of your subject – this is the midpoint of your subject's skin tone. You can then push that midpoint to its lightest and its darkest points. Dependent on lighting, if you mix three unrelated colours to represent these shifts in tone, they will not sit realistically.

The Scarlet Lake and Ultramarine Blue combine to create a warm violet that you are then desaturating with your warm Yellow Lake to create a warm brown. Use a tonal scale to test if you've got the correct tone in your mix.Adapt the midpoint again, but this time push it towards the darkest skin tones. Taking the same mix of Ultramarine Blue, Scarlet Lake, Yellow Lake and Titanium White No.1, we're now adding increasing amounts of Scarlet Lake and Ultramarine Blue.
