This video is the first in a four-part series about mixing skin tones with various media, such as colored pencil, watercolor, and acrylic/oil. In this introduction, I will talk about how to determine the undertones or cast of the skin, which will assist in mixing the correct skin tone.

I also wax poetic about Brazilian artist Angélica Dass's photography project Humanae (angelicadass.com/photography/humanae/). Check out her TED talks for more information too: angelicadass.com/public-speaking/ted-the-beauty-of-human-skin-in-every-color-vancouver-canada and also:

Be sure to also check out my video on the split/double primary system as an introduction to color temperature - we'll be using it a lot in the next few videos! youtu.be/Jnzt42GnbdI
