For a Cracker...( hehe couldn't resist that.) : 1. a hunk of white in the middle of the face.
2 tiny bit of cad red light 3. Tiny bit of cad ( golden) yellow med. NEVER LEMON. 4. viridian green or permanent green for shadows. Warm-yellow ochre or raw sienna and red cad light for the ears and nostrils and ends of the fingers and toes. Cool=tan and green ( raw sienna and perm green light)
Under neck depends on the clothing: Deep dark red and green, lavender and blue and orange highlights around the edges. Study Reubin's paintings to understand what was just written.

Now I know this is kind of confusing, but it gives you a list of what works best for the least change and variety in skin.
All the colors that our Portrait teacher has asked us to show up with. Now I just have to get my canvas ready. I guess since we have to use 4 canvas of two sizes, I"ll be busy doing that now. I used the suggested youtube web sight to tone the canvases: http://www.youtube.com/watch?=6NS3PQVOrcA. Or you could just type in a search of how to tone a canvas. Yipes. My head already hurts. Night all
