Mix a variety of dark and light skin tones with this simple Warm/Cool Palette for oil painting. If you’d like a free PDF Mixing Guide with step-by-step instructions, including more information about the paints and recipes to mix darker and lighter shades, you can request it here: www.annawakitsch.com/links
I teach this palette for the first painting pass in my Portrait classes, and I also have a tutorial for my patrons on Patreon.

Thank you for showing the range that can be attained in a reduced palette. I understand more about chroma, temperature and hue when I’m not bombarded with a lot of colours.

Hi Siri! I'm glad it resonated with you. I agree-- I love painting with a lot of colors sometimes, but it's helpful to isolate variables when really trying to understand how color works.

I've never painted skin before and this genuinely really helps to break it down. All the colors, shades, and hues are really confusing and overwhelming, but breaking it down like this in a fairly simple way is so unbelievably helpful. Now i feel like I can actually do this, its inspired confidence in my ability ❤️.

Anna. Thank you very much. I already got the pdf file and watched your latest video. I have also ordered the burnt sienna (winsor and newton). I will certainly give it a try. I have a very good command of drawing and monochromatic paintings. After so much practice, I don´t think I have noticeable problems with values (though there is always room for improvement, of course), but I reckon I am petrified in fear when it comes to color. Your way of painting has inspired me to give it a try. THANKS again!!

That looks like a super simple and economical system you've shown us. It will help a lot. My wife has tasked me with making as exact a 36"x24" copy as I can of Gustav Klimmt's Woman in Gold with her wedding day portrait as the reference photo. She is constructively honestly critical of everything I do and such a big task is intimidating me. You have greatly helped me I'm sure, so thank you. I am planning to do the portrait within the painting first by underpainting in shades of grey with acrylic ink, then transparent oils over, using transparency medium. The rest of the painting will be done directly in oils but first the symbolist squiggles etc that are in relief will be done with thick white acrylic applied with a syringe and thick hypodermic needle used for refilling printer ink cartridges. Klimmt used a lot of gold leaf, I have gold metallic oil paint. Your portrait colour system fills the final unknown in my plans. We even have the blank canvas in it's beautiful frame hanging on the wall!

Excellent! Any suggestions for keeping the pigments over a long haul. Do you tube up certain hues? What steps do you take to not having to mix from scratch every time you want to paint? Do you put a master chart under glass? Mixing on top of glass? Do you put plastic wrap over your chart to prevent drying? Do you add a retarder medium to slow down the drying time? Your formal for achieving the tones, the ratios, is unique, and extremely helpful. Just found you about a week ago. Signed on your wait list……….d’yak-o-you!😉

Thank you! 😊 I’m so glad you found the Warm-Cool Palette helpful. Those pigments are slow drying and I also keep them in a box with clove oil and/or put the box in the freezer, so each mixture basically lasts until I use it all up. So I'm only having to mix a few at a time to fill in the depleted ones. I slip the paper palette chart into a clear sheet protector and the paint sits on top of that. The whole thing can go right into the box for storage. Here’s a video about how I use the clove oil: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7GZlKxlubrGlGw.html

This worked perfectly for me, it resulted in natural looking skin tones! I ended up with a lot of grey tones though, which i did not use at the end (but maybe i can use that for a second portrait). Why do you prefer this way of mixing (with a seperate gray scale) over mixing in black with the TRO + white scale? Would that be more difficult /more prone to trial and error?

Question, in this particular painting and when you’re mixing paints are you using thinner and/or medium? Or is this just straight oil paint? Sorry I am new to oils and trying to figure out how you got this consistency/what your process is.
@annawakitsch
@annawakitsch Жыл бұрын
This is mostly oil paint straight from the tube. If it drags on the canvas too much I may add a little medium to help it flow, but in this method I want it to be fairly opaque so I don't want to thin it down too much with anything.

you used winsor burnt sienna ? ı have lefranc extra fine burnt sienna
@annawakitsch
@annawakitsch 2 жыл бұрын
I looked up the LeFranc & Bourgois, and it’s listed as pigment PBr7, which is actually the traditional pigment for Burnt Sienna, but different than the PR101 pigment that I mentioned is in the Winsor Newton. Usually the pigment code is on the back of the tube so you can check. Any Burnt Sienna could certainly be used to make some great skin tones, but you wouldn’t want to follow the same proportional recipes I’m giving, because that pigment PBr7 will have different mixing properties- it’s usually less transparent and won’t stay as chromatic when mixed with white as the transparent PR101 pigment that Winsor Newton uses in their burnt sienna. The pigment is also in various brands of paint that will call it Transparent Red Oxide or something similar, and those should work similarly to what I’m using.

Yes! You just move down the value range. Of course, it's a limited palette so it will not match the *hue* of everyone's skin exactly, but it will get you close.

The more you learn about art, the more you'll probably see that every single rule you've ever seen or heard can be broken and/or has an exception to it. Her method gets fantastic results and happens to use black. Another rule I hear often is how never to use black in shadows, always use something like burnt umber mixed with ultramarine blue because it's more realistic is basically the saying. But what if realism isn't your ultimate go? What if you just want something that looks good, or unique, or you want something crazy like orange shadows? It's an option and not every option might align with your goals, but I think examining and taking to the time to experiment and stress test the advice and wisdom you hear can be fun and provide insight into when to follow certain rules and when to ignore them
