Caucasian are pink period.

You must be a great painter!

there is tho, there's a base value/hue within each race skin pigment

I'm NOT a professor just yet, but I can write English correctly, but put that to one side for a moment. OK, the artist paints a picture and sells it. That means the painting goes into an unknown "lighting environment" The lighting could be the same or worse than the artist had when he painted the picture. I paint in a "warm daylight" environment. That means it give's off a little bit of yellow. I've sold lots of my oil paintings and not once has a customer ever complained about the colours not being right. So all your viewers can rest. They don't have to worry if there's a tiny tinge of blue on the chin or nose. The average customer doesn't notice or care. With regards to the "Flesh Tone" that came in a tube. As I said I'm not a professor yet, but my common sense tells me two things. First the paint company is trying to sell more tubes of paint. They know lots of people have trouble with flesh tones. So they're giving the customer what he wants. The next point is the "Flesh Tone" is a starting point, just like any other tube of paint is a starting point. You buy the tube of paint, and then modify the colour with another colour. Am I statin' the bleedin' obvious ............. Yes I think so I check my colours, with a piece of paper. I paint the paper with a sample of what I think is the correct colour and then place it right next to my painting. I can see perfectly well if the colour matches or not.

@@charlestaylor6279 where are some examples of your paintings Chuck?

Yes,@@charlestaylor6279 , you are not a professor yet. And you are right "the paint company is trying to sell more tubes of paint" giving the painting students (costumers) what they want while A PROFESSOR WILL GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED - to never get in dispair for not having more flesh tone tubes to finish or begins any work, for exemple - TO LEARN AND EVOLVE.

marte thompson classical tradition of whom? At least where I come from in our classical tradition that is Greek and later it got connected with the Italian Renaissance.. we used to say a painter is should not be a person that likes gossiping and he should not depict the little moles and freckles or even skin discoloration on his painting. Cause the paintings will stay for the years to come and it's bad to show a skin problem or something about the person in the many later generations that will see it. So we said it should be clean of any bad type of gossiping/judgmental ideas.

Stelios Kapet It’s not about being judgmental, it’s about depicting reality as it is without glamorizing it. Sure, if your intention is to make it as beautiful as you can then you can twist reality a bit to your liking, but keep in mind that not everyone has the same ideals of beauty (many think that freckles are beautiful, for example) and that not everyone has the same intent behind their work.

This is what he lectures in his channel. Value, chroma, and hue when obtaining the closest color as possible.

I always play connect the dots with freckles

only if you paint traditional stuff, these changes when you paint artificial lights/objects

eXtremeGoLden k

Oil thinner! A medium that you mix into the paint / dip your brush in

His oil paints that he sells come this way ready to go, I use and love them

Buy the glasses that help you see colors like normal people see them. They're only $600. Apparently youll cry for the first hour or so.

I bet the come out cool do you do abstract art?

@@mastercnn1222 I paint fantasy, surreal and work with Heavy Metal bands.

Theres a art rule that says if the values are correct u can get away with using almost any color. I dont know how colorblindness works exactly but if u can see values correctly ull be able to make great art

@Light Portal People still have the option to waste their time, as you demand.

Figuratief en abstract schilderen
