I like your sense of humour: -"freshly dug out of the ground" :)

As always I found this video informative but, before I paint a person I will remind myself of the colour mixes you teach.Thanks

This was an extremely informative lesson on skin tone. Not only did you show how to mix virtually any skin color from the primaries, but you also went into detail about skin texture and how it will affect the choice of pigments. Thank you for another great video!

Searched the Net for info on mixing skintones. Yours was streets ahead of the (many) others. Clear explanations applicable to any portrait. Thank you so much!

Very comprehensive video and just what I was looking for, thanks!

You must have been reading my mind Michele, as this subject was going to be my question in your "Ask Me Anything" FB post yesterday 😅 Thank you for the excellent information and advice. Next time I am digging up zombies I will think of you fondly 🤣 😍 Take care of yourself. ❤️ A xxx

Thank you Michelle

I'll have to come and watch this one again some time, and actually take notes and do some mixes myself, along with you.

Thank you. I've watched this a couple times now and get something new every time.👍💙

You crack me up "freshly dug out of the ground"... thank you for a very helpful and entertaining discussion!

This was a very helpful video as I thought just the opposite about blues as far as warmth! Faces are not my favorite but I have several paintings I must finish and this will help a lot.

You’re wearing your ring!🤩 it looks fab!

Excellent tutorial Michele. I hadn’t considered granulation/skin texture. I always learn from you. Thx very much. 🥰💕🐶💕😷🥰

Thank you =) I've been wanting your take on this for a while, and I was not disappointed.

I have been needing this video! I was searching videos about it just yesterday. Your timing is awesome 👌

Hi. Funny coincidence, I have just today experimented a bit with skintones. Used a mix of raw sienna, magenta and cerelean blue. Liked the result. Now I will have a look at your tips (started writing this at the beginning of the vid). Also joined your facebook group today, being a long time follower of your youtube channel thought it was about time.

Thanks Michelle! 🎨🖼️🥰

Thank you for the advice about using a viewfinder! Also, relying on split primary colors instead of premixed colors is really helpful.

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!

Very informative video, thank you!!

Excellent! Thank you.

Mixing neutral colors has been my biggest challenge. Thank you so much for this. I don't do a lot of faces but this will help me a lot for other things.

Excellent video! I need to create a view finder. It helps so much to help one focus on the actual color!

Wow. 😊

I love your sense of humor! Thank you for your videos, very helpful indeed!

Thank you

I love you program because I like watercolor

Thank you Michele. This is very helpful! (Gosh--lots to consider.) :)

Well this is definitely a great help for me to learn how to mix up colors for skin tones. I need to take some practice time to mix skin tones. I have been using Titanium Buff & adding some Lemon Yellow, Quinacrine Rose, Burt Sienna, depending on the the skin tones I am looking for.

such a good class, very comprehensive and clear...

Another great episode. Your lessons are so concise. Thanks for not wasting time.

Wow, this was truly helpful. I have a lonnnng way to go, but I learn so much from you! Thank you!

This video is very helpful, very useful indeed. I learned a lot. I love mixing colours and looking for the "right" tone, so I enjoyed these explanations very much. I am working on self portrait and portrait drawing at the moment, so that 's fiiiiine for me!!!!! Big THANK YOU Michelle !!!

You read my mind!!! I sooo needed to know how to mix for a variety of tones! Love this! 💜

Thank you this video was exceptionally helpful and informative I learnt a lot 👍

Great view I've watched it twice this am most likely I'll be watching it a few more time to help retain infomation...mikelle art mom🎨👩‍🎨

This is so valuable! Thank you 🙏

This was such a helpful tutorial! Thank you! I would love to see you do more actual paintings of people now to see how you apply these ideas.

Very helpful indeed!

I love that you stated that you're vegan. It can be challenging to find cruelty free art supplies, Daniel Smith and Winsor Newton are my two favorite brands.

Very helpful, thank you very much

Skin tone is such a huge subject! As soon as I think about it, my head explodes. Of course there’s also glazing, charging techniques, and level of opacity that drive the subject even deeper.. and let’s not forget the power environment has over hues, which could change a skin tone drastically… phew, such a challenging topic to cover 😖

Hey thanks allot I’m doing a fanart for the first time it is help full

Very instructive, thank you, Michele 😊.

Perfect timing! Thank you soo much!

No wonder not many people do portraits, it’s way more complicated to think about and plan than anything else to paint.

Wow! Thank you! This really helped me out!

i like and subscribed after watching several videos . i like your style in both painting and philosophy . plus you are very beautiful , i like your accent but its a little fast for me being from USA. the skin tone mixing video was difficult for me because iam new to watercolor. However i will not give up on watercolor.

Zombie 😂I choked on my drink

Correct skin tones are always darker than you think you need! I think it's because there's no other values around it. Once you put in clothes, hair, background, the skin might even need darkening.

Zombie or sallow! 😂😂

Please tell us before you show us the methods and colors you DONT prefer ? Some of us make notes
