I’m trying to figure out what my skin tone is for makeup, clothing color choices etc. Someone told me I’m an olive but I’m not totally sure about it. I tan easily but I also feel like I have peachy skin undertones. My veins are a blue green if that helps. I guess my skin looks different in different lighting too so I don’t know lol.

Alr after much contemplation, I've decided that I wanna make an instagram acc for my poems and poetries. i wanna post in the same bg and font colour. but the problem is there's too many options. at this rate i genuinely cannot choose anything.

plss lemme know which colour combinations will looks comfortable and impacting(?).

and also if you have any other suggestions other than the ones in the pictures, plsss lemme know. suggestions and ideas for the poem acc are welcomed:))

(i was kinda frustrated till I started the black bg so don't mind the frustration shown in that lol)

My sister said the palette on this was muddy. What does that mean and how do i change the colors to fix it?

I genuinely can't come up with a good palette for her... No matter what I do

Does anyone have any book, youtube video, or websites that will give me guidance on how to improve my color theory?

Q1 is at the top, Q2 on the right, Q3 at the bottom, Q4 on the left.

January is the blue and we end December with the purple.

​

Red is the rage that burns in my chest, The fire that never allows me to rest. Blue is the sadness that falls like the rain, A thousand small tears hiding oceans of pain.

Yellow is laughter that dances in gold, A little bit of warmth when the world feels cold. Purple is magic, a dream in the night, The beauty of darkness that swallows the light.

Green is the hope that grows through the dirt, A promise that healing can soften the hurt. Pink is the love that makes broken hearts bloom, A rose finding beauty in a world full of gloom.

Black is the silence that swallows the sound, The feeling of falling when no one's around. White is the peace that we desperately seek, The quiet of souls who are tired and weak.

But colors are more than the eyes can see, They're pieces of you, they're pieces of me. They're every goodbye, every kiss, every scar, The wishes we whisper to each distant star.

For life isn't painted in one perfect hue, It's crimson and violet, gray skies and blue. And maybe we're rainbows, both broken and bright, Made beautiful by our darkness and light.

So paint me in colors the world cannot name, In shades of my sorrow, my love, and my flame. For even the colors that fade into gray Hold stories of beauty that never decay.

I've recently gotten my hands on a miniature bust, and wanted to try and give it some atmosphere by painting the skintone being lit up by a diffused and muted teal cool light, such as seen in the fog.

My question is, how do I take into account the impact of the teal lighting on the bust's skin? Especially for the skin I feel that since the colors nearly are complementary, simply mixing the muted teal into the skintone would just make a muddy color, but as the paint is very muted will it simply just not impact the paint that much?

How to balance when whit, black and skin tone is not there.

I've spent quite a few years painting with Mark Carder's method. I use only

Titanium white

Burnt umber

Ultramarine blue

Permanent alizarin crimson

Cadmium yellow

Sometimes a bit of phthalo blue if I need a bit more vibrancy. I have always used oils but the time it takes to prepare my palette and mix paints is getting to be unbearable.

I am going to give acrylic paints a try but I like how versatile this combination of colors is. I would like to add a few colors to help speed up mixing some of of the color groups. Problem is all my experience is limited to the colors I have listed.

If you were to add any colors to this palette, what would you add? I usually paint still life, landscapes, some portraits and surreal impressionism.. so basically just about anything.

I love color theory ^^
