This is all about matching with a color and knowing how to "make it".
These are just two chart examples...I'm putting together 8 sheets for 12 hues. Each chart starts with the straight hue, then mixed with white to fill out a six point scale. Then it's mixed with all of the other hues on my 12 color palette. Each one of those is then reduced in value on the same scale.

Here's where I've had to call it quits with the "hand/model" painting. Just got to move on (I wasn't able to recover from having to reseal the ground).
And I started another self portrait using that new tile sub-flooring material. This shows the very beginning stage of drawing with the squirted plaster line on the sized surface.



Everything has been layered and filled at this point. Now, I've got to sand it down and seal the surface. Then I can glaze with some Golden acrylic pigment and matte medium, where needed.

sounds like complicated process-love hand/portrait & your self-portrait!
