Blocking In Skin Tone Values Using the Glazing Technique
Skin tones can be challenging, as all portrait artists know.
But I’ve discovered that using micro-layers of acrylic, diluted with matte medium, can really help you to build up volume on your faces as you paint. Skin tones and values go hand-in-hand. You always want to be thinking about tonal value (the range of how light and dark a color is) BEFORE you apply it. Then, you want to make sure you apply it in the right place on your face that you’re painting.
