If you struggle with mixing up skin tones for portrait or life painting, then this crash course with Sandra Robinson is for you!

You will be guided through how to mix up skin tones, pinpoint value and effectively use warm and cold tones to create a more convincing and 3D resemblance.  By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation for approaching your portraits in whichever style and medium you choose. 

N.B Demo will be completed in Oils but the method works for all Mediums.
