Painting a Hand. Tips on Color Mixing and Palette Set-Up. Process of Color Application. Demo.

I left a hand unfinished to share the process of color application. Watch me set the palette, pre-mix some skin tones and apply brush strokes to build a naturalistic skin color for the hand. And of course...you will hear all thoughts! lol!

    The painting is much better with the eyes looking to her right. This was a good decision.

    I don't think there is another artist I follow that inspires me more than you Cesar. Can there be such a thing as tempered passion? Gentle intensity? Quiet thunder? I find your work to be poetry in paint - not just because it is just so beautiful, but because of who you are which shines through. I feel you share your knowledge with little to no ego. That is a beautiful and rare thing. When I watch your videos, these thoughts are what I am always left with. You are in love with art, feel blessed that you have this life in which you create it and that you feel a burning desire to share it with others. It is never, "Look what I can do!". It is always, "Look what has and can be done! And what you can do too!"

    Cesar, I want to take a moment to thank you. I started painting two years ago and have been watching your videos and tutorials and I so very much appreciate your approach to art. For me, you have such a wonderful balance of the hands on, technical approach, as well as the very important philosophical side of the form. All this to say thank you and I pray every blessing for you and your family.

    The side-long glance really nails it, with the eyes closed it was like an 8.5 but with the with the side-long glance it's a definite 10; something I would pay money for if I had it. Maybe it's because it adds an element of mystery? It let's the viewer inject their own imagination into it. What is she looking at that could possibly be more interesting than a tornado or a wolf?? P.s. As always Great content! Very helpful as I'm struggling with a hand in one of my paintings lol

    Be careful, because, from what I read, the lead based colours, combined with cadmiums, will make the mixture get dark with time (darker than normal anyway). Is a kind of bed chemical reaction between them.
