You makes better shade range than beauty blender and morphe tbh

My biggest problem is when I run out of a mixture and having to recreate the exact same color because I need more.

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.

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.

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 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 video is a magic . exactly what I wanted .*

[zinny]

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

[clarissaangelica]

In 10 minutes you explained it so simple and clear. You are awesome and I thank YOU!!!

[madeleinehargrave]

I love this. The way this is explained is the same format they use in intro to color theory at university!

This video helped me improve my skin tones when I felt like giving up. It is awesome. Thank you so much

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.

Girl I started painting with Bob Ross a week ago and here I am trying to paint a portrait and YOU HELPED A LOT. Thank you 🙏

[sparksfly]

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.

[Pizzarules]

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!

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.
