Why The Skin On This Portrait Looked Off-Until This One Trick

Описание: Updated with a stronger opening that holds on the final result longer — now you can really see what changed.

I’ll show you how to paint warm skin tones that look healthy and glowing — not sallow or overly yellow.
⠀
Along the way, I’ll share my approach to mixing realistic skin tones and explain a key mistake I made at the very beginning of this painting — one I didn’t even notice until I started editing this video.
⠀
It didn’t ruin the painting, but it definitely made things harder than they needed to be. I’ll walk you through what happened, how I fixed it, and what I’d do differently next time.
