Hello Judith Reidy,
In view of the kind of light and scene, discover the best medium for the intended painting so you can create the impact you want according to light, mid and dark tones.
I really wanted to give my grandnephew's mother a portrait of her son who was coming up on his 1st Birthday.I wanted those rosey cheeks, but I just wasn't sure how to use color hues and values to structure the head without losing those rosey cheeks. Mixing and matching hues seemed so random.
And I was random until I broke down the structure of the child's head which was seen in my mind like a ball. I thought in terms of darks, halftones, and lights Now what paints should I select and mix up as I considered these different values and placements on the head.I started doing some research and discovered that there were any number of colors I could potentially use and mix together to get the skin tones I wanted. But which combinations of paints should I select?
Would you like a PDF on Color mixing strategies to give you an idea what you are dealing with?
In all my teaching including my recent workshops, I think we have all learned a lot in the process and are having a good deal of fun. Our little community gets value from one another as well as from what I am able to share with them. Fade away self critic.
