What a misnomer! The color of one's skin. It really should be 'skin colors' because there are just SO MANY colors found in flesh tone. And I am not talking about colors from one person to another. I am talking about the colors in ONE person's skin. It is boggling and daunting to try to mix together the correct tints and hues of reds, yellows, and blues to come up with the right highlights and shadows to represent just one person's skin. And do it without making the skin look muddy instead of luminous.
GAH!
I am not that happy with today's work on the painting. I worked on Matt's arm and shirt today. The preliminary work on the shirt is okay, but the arm. Grrrr. The arm is frustrating me. I have gotten to an acceptable stopping place with it, but I am still not happy with the results. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for art?
