I watched this video this morning. Couple hours later I’m having lunch and I pick up a watercolor book by Mary Whyte, open it at a random page, and the first thing I read is, “several impressionist painters…underpainted skin tones in blue-greens…the optical sensation of two colors together produced a shimmering effect not possible with one color alone. A similar effect is achieved in watercolor by glazing…”. What a coincidence!

Yes. I was thinking about Mary White’s technique also. So wonderful to have it explained in this video.
Amazing!
Very interesting to watch this! And your daughter (and the painting) are lovely.
Always learning something from you Emily! Your daughters impish expression was a lovely capture.
This is often how I paint portraits but I mainly paint on homemade watercolour panels. The blue never really goes wrong if you use the right colours over the top and you can pretty much use this approach for any skin colour. Thanks for another fab vid

Nice to hear another positive experience with blue undertones!
Super tip, I love watching your work come together. Thank you for sharing 👌🏻
Beautiful, Emily! I am so thankful for this tip. It really makes a difference.
its a very pretty portrait😀 I tell people all the time when using coloured pencils a layer of light blue pencil will do a lot to make a portrait stand out

Thank you .. I truly love this it was very helpful . Keep up the great work
Perfecto, beautiful ❤
This is an excellent tutorial . Your approach with the preparation really gives a layer of blue I had not tried. I’ve done many portraits over the years. And this is truly a great step I will incorporate for my next portrait. Thank you so much!

Awesome! I do hope you’ll give it a try!
Very beautiful and a bunch of good tips yet again. The start with the blue was slightly surprising. When I paint with oil colors I usually start with a rate green though, so blue makes some sense as well.
I love a blue-green underpainting too - adding a teeny bit of phthalo green to the blue makes a gorgeous colour. Or have you tried a purple underpainting? Especially nice for a darker skin, but with care it works on a Caucasian skin. Such fun!

It actually works pretty well! It really gives the skin a depth and a translucency.
Absolutely beautiful! Blue is my boyfriend ❤

If a student only had Holbeins , what paint would you recommend for the pthalo and quin?
That is a nice tip for paler skins! I'm curious that some artists say that for darker skins, red underpainting works good. Have you tried painting like that?
@EmilyOlsonArt

I haven’t tried red! That seems like a commitment, lol!
I’m not a new painter… but I cannot get this to work!!!
My question is, Can I use this same method of light blue shadows for watercolor botanicals?
I don’t know if you will like this. There is a guy named Cuong Nguyen who does a green under painting for his skin tones.

Mam can you make video on is oil painting, water color, acrylic paint is only way to draw (photo) realistic drawing? Can we draw realistic drawing with other medium? Like oil pastel, colored pencils or sketching?
