Comments about Color Mixing Recipes for Portraits:

this is an extremely helpful book, particularly for those beginning to paint portraits as the formulas are relatively simple and with the plastic measuring guide fairly easy to do. There are multiple formulas for different skin colors making it relatively simple to arrive at a very close proximity to the correct skin color.
