We start with a selected color. Then we analyze what is needed
to match what is observed, and make the necessary adjustments...
The
shadow on the throat is deep and dark. We start with Dark
2. To increase the intensity and the warmth, we add Alizarin
Crimson and Burnt Sienna. To push it down in value
still more, we add a bit of Burnt Umber.
The
halftone on the upper lip is a complex color that is greyed
and cool. We start with Halftone 1. To make it darker,
we add Dark 1. To make the mixture cooler, we add Chromium
Oxide Green.
The
dark halftone on the side of the nose and the nostril is warm
and intense. We start with Halftone 2, but the warmth
and the intensity need to be stepped up. We achieve both with
touches of Venetian Red and Cadmium Orange.
Now
we want to mix the cooler pinkish color on the edge of the
forehead to the left of the highlight. Again we start with
Light 3. We need to go cooler and lighter. We achieve
cooler by adding a touch of Alizarin Crimson. We make
the mixture lighter by adding White.
The
rich shadow color is Dark 1 deepened with Chromium
Oxide Green.
Our
goal is mix the warm color on the forehead. We select Light
3, which must be made warmer, darker, and more intense.
We go darker by adding Halftone 2, and warmer and more
intense by adding Cadmium Orange and a tiny touch of
Cadmium Red Light.
