YOU can mix beautiful skin tones for your watercolor portraits and you probably already have good colors in your palette waiting to be mixed.

Portraits are hard, and having the right color is critical to success.
When you mix your paints (and label the mixes), you may make some surprising discoveries. It's likely that all of your painting will become easier, as you leave the struggle of color mixing behind, so it's definitely worth the time and effort.

How many people rely on Sepia, Indigo or Payne's Gray for their dark values? All are often made with Lamp Black, which is a very cool, muddy dark that dries to a dull, lifeless area.

Go wild with your mixes. Have fun. You'll get better acquainted with some of the most beautiful colors in watercolor painting.
