Today's Q and A
Q - How do you create skin tones in watercolor?
A - While it seems to be a popular use of tertiary colors in creating skin tones I have found the use of simple primary colors red, blue and yellow to be more effective and a lot easier in creating skin tones. Using a light base of yellow or even light red to begin, glazed layers of yellow, red and blue mix will allow for excellent control of tones. Making color adjustments with each layer will give you a more than satisfactory and realistic result.
