What is the best way to mix basic acrylic paint colors to get the color of Caucasian skin?

My friend awhile back told me that there are 3 colors you have to mix, but now I can%26#039;t remember.|||I have been painting for a long time and the colors I use for my portraits are


a lot of Titanium White


A lot of Yellow Ochre


a little bit of cadium red light


I take yellow ochre and add a lot of white to it about the same amount or more and then just a drop of cadium red light (cadiums are very strong pigments so be cereful don%26#039;t add too much).


For highlights I add more white sometimes I mix a little yellow into it and for shadow and receding planes I use raw umber and some blue like ultramarine blue.


I paint in oils but the acrylics are the same pigments so you should get the same results. When I painted in school lot of the people used acrylics and got the same effects

good luck|||orange, white and pink|||You should be using only colours that are found in the spectrum to get your colours, not %26quot;bottled/tubed%26quot; colours, to truly learn how to paint. Getting %26quot;flesh%26quot; coloured paint is cheating. Even using %26quot;pink%26quot; or pre mixed sienna colours, etc. is cheating. to get a caucasian flesh colour mix red, yellow and white (not too much yellow).|||I would mix beige, white and a little orange or pink.|||burnt sienna, a touch of red and white. mix until you have a basic flesh tone add a little green to make a shadow tone. highlight would be a Little more white added with just a little touch of green.|||Orange and white to start. You can add red, blue and orange to achieve different tones.
