Skin tones are challenging to paint accurately in acrylic. In this video, I'll show you how to make some adjustments to your skin tones and shading, using my student Primus' portrait as an example. I'll be painting on top of his painting (with his permission) and show you how to:

--Add more nuance to areas that have too much contrast
--Enhance the highlights in areas that are too flat
--Smooth skin tone gradients in the midtones
--And more!

I mix over 15 swatches of color in this video and show you exactly what they look like, independent of the painting, on my white card. Then I also show you how they work ON the painting, to enhance it.

Let me know how it all helps!
