Shortly after I started The Mount Vision Pastel
Company I got a call from an artist asking if it would be possible to match
a color that had been discontinued by another manufacturer. I told him
to scribble some out of a piece of paper and send it to me and I would see
what I could do. Thus began my adventure in making several "flesh"
tones. |

190-194:The color looked for was what
would be commonly called a flesh color. It was close to a burnt sienna but
it had a warmer undertone. After several tries I came up with this color,
the 190-194 group, it is a fabulous base color for figure and portrait work
of a certain complextion. I started with burnt sienna added a strong orange
iron oxide and a bit of a bright yellow for warmth. However, it turned out
to be to warm and garish so I use a little violet to hold it back and give
it a nice softness. |

500-502:While working on the above colors
I also started working on other colors that would be helpful for figurative
work. This is a good warmish neutral made by softening an earthy orange
with some ultramarine blue. By using a complement to tone down a color it
will soften without becoming a grey. |
|
|
|
480-483: This color is a wonderful pigment
discovery I made while I was experimenting making all of these colors. It
is similiar to a raw sienna but it has a much oranger tone but still a nice
warmth. |
|
|
|
470-473: A nice warm neutral color that
fits between the two color groups above. |
|
|
|
490-492: What I would call a ruddy color.
A neutral earthish red with a warmer tone in the tints than a Mars Red. |
|
|
|
311-314: The four middle colors are used
in the Flesh Tone Set. This is a clean earthy orange oxide pigment that
makes a nice orangish skin tone. |
|
|
|
321-323: The three middle colors are used
in the Flesh Tone Set. A mars red pigment that makes very cool blue shade
tints that are useful for shadows and a cool underlayer. |
