you know what? I'm just gonna use foundation
I have watched a lot of tutorials on creating skin tones, this by far is the best I have watched so far, the best part is how you have explained starting from primary colors and adding a bit of gray to kill the intesity. Well done and thanks!
I was nearly tearing my hair out in clumps due to frustration until i saw this. Brilliant! Thank you!
+M. Owen. pleased it helped.

Been struggling with skin tone for months now. Wish I would've looked it up on RUclips sooner. Watched multiple videos but yours was the most helpful. Thank you!
Sir,i admire the way,how patiently you tell all the details.........It was a gr8 help
Great tutorial! I am glad we have people like you, who has great knowledge,good presentation skills and of course the will to make these videos! Thank you!
Thanks Ahmed, great to have you on board.
Cheers, Will
Hi Blix, so pleased you've been finding the videos helpful in your painting. Acrylics do dry very quick, so what you can use is a stay wet pallete. This helps to keep the paints wetter for longer and enable you to have more time with your painting.
Hope this helps,
Cheers, Will
Excellent. Finally someone explains this, directly and objectively. Really cool!
Good one Philip, really pleased the video helped and you're feeling more confident to tackle a portrait!
Cheers,
Will
Thanks Rujewitblood, using the colour wheel this way can really help when mixing colours.
cheers,
Will
Brilliant! Interesting! Would never have thought you could get a skin colour with those colors. Thank you for your teaching!
I'm a great painter but not when it comes to people. Been working with skin tones for months and this really helped! Thank you
Great to hear it Breanna, so pleased you found it helpful.

Thank you so much ive been searching seemingly endlessly for a tutoriol for skin tone matching and I finally found it! You my friend have one more subscriber!
Thanks Pete, pleased you found it helpful.
Cheers,
Will
I have found, above most tutorials, that all your videos are the most helpful, especially when using acrylics...I started out in oils so I understand their differences. This is the best of explaining skin tones, I have made two attempts to paint a portrait of my granddaughter and while I feel more confident of mixing her skin tones now, however I am still at odds as to blending the colors. thanks, Teresa Antosyn
Paul Antosyn Hi Paul, that's great it, skin tones can be a tricky one so pleased it helped.
Cheers,
Will
I never heard or thought of using the colour wheel like that, this is great advice, really useful
Yes by far the best I have seen, you really give a simplicity to an already overly complicated affair that need not be., Your clear instructions to be applaude
Thanks very much Jonathan, really pleased you found the steps simple to follow.

Will
skin tones and shading have been the bane of my life..usually don't paint people for that reason..this vid is priceless..thank you for making it understandable..feel a lot more comfortable now doing faces.

Hi Ann,
Glad this tutorial helped, I don't have any tutorials for painting facial features at the moment.
Will
those paints look great! Really liked how you took the time and effort! thanks for the video.
wow. that is the most creative use of the color blue! i would have never thought of that!! thanks!
Good one Camry, pleased you found it helpful,
Cheers,
Will
Thank you for posting this video, the information and demonstration you've provided is truly a rare gift. It's wonderful but painful to admit I've learned more from just watching two of your you tube videos than seven weeks worth of painting at college. Not to mention the teacher is the head of the art department. Whoa is this school. Thank you so much. :)
You're welcome Kim, thanks for your kind comments, so pleased you've been finding them helpful.
Cheers,
Will
Very useful, soon I'm going to practice using this technique to paint portraits of my dad.
@lolaphotography4 Thanks lola, it's a great exercise for getting used to matching skin tones. Often, our first attempts can be really far out and too pink. We always have a tendency to think skin is pink and this can help to get you more in tune with your colour mixing,
Will
Will .. thank you for the tutorial, really helpful before painting a portrait

Thanks Tim, pleased you found it helpful and thanks for the sub!

Huge help! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the lessons... mostly interested in your base colours. I don't put blobs of paint on a palette because they would be dried out in no time and skinning over. I'm new to portrait painting... pretty expert at landscapes now. I'm finding mixing bottles of various flesh tones working for me using glazing medium, thinners, GAC 100 and lots of dry fan brushes at hand.
Good one, pleased it helped with your school project.
Cheers,
Will
This was extremely helpful! The last time I mixed colors and made a flesh tone with paints was yearrrsss ago with help from my teacher so I forgot how to do this but this is actually better than what he taught me, so THANK YOU SO MUCH.

This is a great video for those of us that have/need to match foundations to our clients. Those of us that are makeup artists can truly benefit from this video. Thank you for using your hand. It's not that giant of a leap for me to use my face or client's face, as a target to match. Your vids are awesome.
You are so welcome! never thought of it for matching foundation 🤣

Because the mix is orangish I add blue because blue is the complementary colour of orange. Have a look at my brown jug video for a fuller explanation,
