I was leaning toward light peach for the base and using sienna brown for values on eye features and nose areas. Suggestions for under chin values. Are purples or blues appropriate?

Hi Nancy,

It will still be a combination of red, yellow, brown, and white. For a caucasian tone, more white will be used. You may try a combination of Cream, White, and Peach. Some areas mays see a bit more red used. If you want to send me the pic (contact@thevirtualinstructor.com), I’ll be glad to mix a match for you.

I am trying to do a portaite of my grandson on vellum bristol paper. This is my second attempt. I know over burnishing and smooth bristol paper were my mistakes on the first attempt.
