Learn artist Cuong Nguyen's technique to paint realistic skin tones with oils.
With this fully illustrated ebook, you'll learn how to apply artist Cuong Nguyen's technique for generating realistic skin tones with oils. The most distinguishing feature of this technique is that it begins with a layer of green (Verdaccio) that establishes the proper values in the skin tones while balancing the subsequent layers of warmer colors. This book features three separate demonstrations using models with varying complexions. Each demonstration shows a full-color photograph for each stage in the drawing, with details about which color palette have been added to achieve the effect. Full materials list is included.
