hey richard here , i am new to the site ,i have watched all the free videos on youtube i purchased how to paint realism from the drwmixpaint site. In those lessons the part i needed the most is cut off in video 2 about color mixing. I understand that there is no such thing as flesh tones but i cannot find any examples of mixing colors for dark flesh tones... yes i have the color finder , yes i am using the limited pallet as Marc teaches but i need more examples.. i been painting this picture and its been days and i cannot get the colors right in my painting ... i also havent found any examples of marc painting from a picture....HELP PLEASE BELLOW IS THE REFERENCE PICTURE

This book is useful for skin tones, about $9

Whilst there is a range of values the basis of the colors are raw sienna for the lighter skin tones, Indian red in the mid tones and burnt umber for the shadows.
Here is Mark’s video on how to mix any color with the Geneva palette.
