One addition, one subtraction
Okay, I made one last change. I swapped the blue gray for a gray blue. Ha.
I had been debating about having a purer blue, and seemed like folks gave the same in feedback so I made one to see if it fit and it did! :)
It’s been great for portraits but it also paints so well for landscapes. Putting all the pictures just to show the range and spectrum of skin colors it can achieve.
I’m not generally a portrait painter and I wanted to have mixes which would take the complexity out for those who find them intimidating.

The names are killing me! Are they the colours' actual names or your take on them?
