Dark skin is extremely shiny and you can get a lot of great tones from reflected light sources, while the tutorial here demonstrates how much of the variation in paler skin comes from <i>underneath</i> - blood vessels, etc. I dunno, that came in really handy for me.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325989401742478470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-9393599600199140492012-12-26T13:07:43.383-05:002012-12-26T13:07:43.383-05:00Photo comparing arterial blood with venous blood:

The purpose is not to scare off enemies but to become invisible. Deep underwater red light doesn’t travel far, while blue light remains visible.<br /><br />Both the squid and our blood would be deep red in bright light but appear dark blue when placed under layers of redness-capturing materials.Robnonstophttp://robnonstop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-12514803323578892202011-09-16T11:10:52.278-04:002011-09-16T11:10:52.278-04:00Myke, thanks for explaining that.

Apparently on the ...Enjoyed reading this very much. Apparently on the Sargent of the girl there are some diversions from this dictum. The forehead appears cool violetish rather than yellow and there is a progression from red to yellow from the check going towards the ear. But it is still in keeping with the idea that the blood is in the middle section of the face, especially the nose, with the cheek being the most intense. But as you say, these are general rules, and very subtle. Sargent gave dominance to what he saw and of course is famous for his ability to depict nuances of color.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07699546973021233767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-32494633342243529812008-06-09T12:58:00.000-04:002008-06-09T12:58:00.000-04:00Thank you for responding, I'll keep my eyes open a...Thank you for responding, I'll keep my eyes open and if I notice anything, I'll let you know.Tyler Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544509977681010110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-59625963147756622452008-05-28T11:04:00.000-04:002008-05-28T11:04:00.000-04:00Thanks to all and to you, David.

His blog has been a big inspiration for mine.<BR/><BR/>Paolo, thanks for mentioning glazing, which is a great way to achieve the color zones.<BR/><BR/>Erik, I don't think you're as color blind as you think. The Sargent girl isn't really very green around her mouth...to me anyway it's really more of a gray in the repro. I couldn't find a better example, but I've seen Sargents that are much more noticeable.<BR/><BR/>UglyMuffin: Regarding other skin pigmentations, I don't know of any old painter's rules, but I imagine that the beard and capillary effect would be visible unless pigmentation overruled it.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-4157041899590961892008-05-28T04:40:00.000-04:002008-05-28T04:40:00.000-04:00James, I often visit your blog; I always enjoy it ...James, I often visit your blog; I always enjoy it and learn from it.
