I usually have a hard time with skin tone. This is my second try painting "Belle". I really like light tones, but they do not photograph well. So I would enhance the work and go darker, I truly hated the dark outcome. Then I destroyed the painting by trying to fix it. I tossed it and decided to try again.
This time I tried to follow Tamara's technique more closely. I layered the skin tones and took a light pink from a flower, I had already painted with Tombow Markers, for the cheeks. It was just enough to blend with my skin tone. The enhanced tones of the layers helped it to blend in. It's harder to cover the area with watercolor and Carandache water-soluble crayon, but it is a more natural look.
Of course I used my stash of supplies to paint this lady on Canson 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper.
I really enjoyed working and learning as I painted this little lady!
