It's my first time painting, and the whole thing just drive me nut. Can anyone help me to clear things out a bit, please? There is a Walnut oil container for cleaning brushes. 1) So do clean the brush each time you paint a different color? 2) And after clean the brush with walnut oil, Do you need to wipe the oil completely out of the brush before dipping it into a new color? 3) When do you use the medium mixture of Walnut Alkyd and Gamsol ? During the skin mixing chart video, I did not see Mr. Morgan use it... Sorry, I have only drawn with pencil and charcoal my whole life...Please help me!

First day of mixing color ever so I'm pretty satisfied with this. Not much temperature separation in the highlights. Reflected light is a bit cool. And average shadow is too warm... I feel like I could nit pick and mix forever, but I'm gonna move on to the next exercise and only return if someone tells me it's definitely worth my time to revisit something.

I did a study with these colors and learned a lot. The average shadow was way too warm and definitely needed the nit picking. I plan to mix more before continuing. This course was worth every penny.

not sure...

Made another grayscale and tried to match the colors in the video for the skin tone chart. This took more time than it probably should, but I’m happy to learn :)

Hey Morgan, feel free to coach me like Fred fixler! here’s what I got. The left most greyscale is my finished one. The others are practice
@duanelangston
I painted this on a matte board that is possibly too dark of a gray, but I tried to match the hue and value as close to the video as possible. The background made my swatches look lighter than there really are. Hope I came close

Mixing skin tones: Light family, warm half tones got a little loud, and other mistakes. Figure I'd quit while I was ahead :))

I've been in an art school now working on my portfolio 2ND YEAR.. STILL LOTS TO LEARN. I AM GRATEFUL. THERE WAS AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF INFO PRACTICE INSTRUCTION ON THE WHOLE GAMET mixed media, oil, inks, marketing yadya.. I can not tell you how overwhelmed i BECAME because THIS right HERE WAS NOT SHARED!!! importance of value separation and THE limited pallet. 2 colors, BLK WHITE. so so glad i found you by watching your FOF artist podcast interview... congrats BTW!! WE WERE GIVEN COLORS AFTER FIRST FEW LESSONS OF DRAWING...THROWN A HOLE LOT AT US ALL ONLINE..SIGH. still it will be worth it as i am finding what i need right here. Great Videos, good teaching, hands on practical sense.

In retrospect, I think I should have made the cool halftone a little darker. The warm reflective light also seems a little green. I tried to keep the warm accent warmer by adding a little alizarin crimson. It may be difficult to tell in the photo. Really liked this exercise.

I just used Brandon's good suggestion to use the monochrome filter on my phone to test the color values. I think perhaps the cool average light is a tad too dark, instead of the cool halftone being too dark as I said above. I might lighten that up just a tad if I were to redo it. Thanks for suggestion, Brandon!

Hi Morgan, Here is my attempt at the skin mixing chart, appreciate any feedback, Thanks!
Morgan Weistling
looks good.

Value and skin tone charts.
Morgan Weistling
the color charts are a bit too dark overall on the shadow values. You have a better range on the black and white

I find it useful to turn my phone camera b&w filter on to check my values when using color, as you can see here
