I don't understand the problem: everybody's skin is a muted orange colour. Some people are lighter, some are darker; some people are redder (add some red), and others are a more golden brown (add some yellow). For greener parts, you add some green. My go-to beginning for a skin colour (a muted orange) is burnt sienna and white.

A great video: simple and straightforward. (The double portrait, by the way, is by Frans Hals, not Rembrandt.)

music is too loud I cant really hear you comfortably : (

Gamblin could have created a black by mixing ultramarine blue and burnt umber instead of going nuclear with phthalo emerald.

Excellent. Thank you.

Would love to watch but can't take the music

Are you using ivory black paint in the portrait? if not Witch color do you use ?

Shelly, I run procreate on my iPad for my reference photos. Do you have any experience with this app or how to get it set correctly to employ this method?

Quin Magenta (PR122) + Green Gold (PY129) work too, you can add some Phthalo Green to make it darker. Also, Pyrrole Orange (PO73) + Dioxazine Purple (PV23) which create even darker mastone.

Is fat over lean does apply also with Acrylic paints?? (Water instead oil, obviously)

Thanks!

Wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration.

It is amazing, beautiful portrait. I've enjoyed your monologue.

TUTTI TROPPO CALDI

Super, just wish you had clicked on the lightest lights to see what they were.

Magnifique Merci beaucoup Shelly Merci pour vos explications Merci pour tout.

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Why do you use Richard Schmid as an intentional misleading drawcard - is it because you know he is immensely popular and you are .........well let's say taking his credit is easier than earning it

The term "mark making" reduces the whole profession of painting, one that has developed and improved over the past 20,000 years to a kind of post-skill hipster term that demeans this entire tradition. To me the term "mark making" is another post-skill art theory that demeans artists and places us in kindergarten again, where anyone can do "mark making" without any training or natural ability.

I wish you would have used both colors in the "Artist" line and NOT one from the "1980" line and the other from "artist". Everyone knows the 1980 line is way cheaper and less pigmented.

I like terra Rosa for skin tones too, venetian red is good too.

i buy my wallnut oil for painting from the supermarket hehe

I like Shelly’s videos, but must point out that Shelly is misleading when she says that she “ warmed up “ the neutral colour with the alazarin “. As any text book will tell you a glaze on top of a colour will primarily CHANGE the colour ( not just the value which I assume she means by “ warming it up “ ).

Is that ten hun

I have only painted like this with good results.

The music is not needed in an instructional video. It competes with what you are trying to get across.

This is mind blowing, I had no idea these kinds of photoshoot events were a thing, please tell me how you find out about them! ❤

Your measurements are not right. The left cheak doesnt seem right and the forehead is much larger . The problem starts from the eyes. You should lower the right eye of the girl. Otherwise your sketch is good.

I just got one thank you :)

Thank you I love your content very grateful :)

Can you explain the second one?

So good, Shelly! Looks hard to do.....painting the self via a mirror.

WELL DONE - RENOIR WOULD SMILE - *BRAVO!!!!!!!*

Your content is so helpful, thank you! As a newcomer to oil painting, I wonder if you always varnish your paintings as the final step? Thank you! ❤

these are also great tips for commissioners. Often they will send artists pictures that have sentimental value but with no sense of design won't really look better as a painting.

😍

Shelley: this is a very promising painting. I can't wait to see the final product. Great start

this is an invaluable video, thank you so much for making it :)

Wonderful!!!

I HAVE USED THIS METHOD FOR MORE THAN 14 YEARS PAINTING OUR FALLEN HEROES OF TEXAS. I FIRST STARTED USING IT BECAUSE I NEEDED TO MAKE SURE AND CAPTURE THE SUBJECTS IDENITY IN THE FIRST EYE AWAY FROM THE LIGHT AND KEEP IT FROM START TO FINISH. MOST OF THE FAMILIES LOOK AT THE EYES OF THEIR LOVED ONE FIRST SO THAT MUST BE RIGHT "NOT JUST AN EYE, BUT HIS EYES" AND THEN MAINTAIN THAT THROUGHOUT THE PORTRAIT. YOU CAN SEE MY WORK AT "KEN PRIDGEON ARTIST ON RUclips...

I love your art btw and Clementine looks like it will be outstanding when you complete♥️

He kind of reminds me of Daniel Ridgeway Knight

Maybe the greens more yellow….

Dear Shelly, thank you so very much for sharing this! This again is very helpful, greetings from Germany!

Very nice portrait 🎨🖌️

I suggest to just study the Rococo portraits, if you use a projector to transfer a photograph to the canvas it will look wooden no matter what you do - you have to sculpt the person with your brush strokes as you observe them and find the nuances that create the perfect composite of reality - a photograph gives one harsh slice and if you just paint by numbers filling in the light and shadow you will only be average unless you drop the training wheels of the projector and sit with the client - I hope this helps

Very informative. Thank you! Btw I watched part 3 first. Loved the finish portrait and most importantly your clients loved it too.😍

Do you have a video on how to use photoshop to get the exact color?

Great tips - I'm going to give it a whirl.
