现在,当你谈论一些复杂和微妙的作为一个脸,颜色的可能性是无止境的。记住,任何灰色的初选,你可以把它漆成鲜艳的色彩或微妙的作为你喜欢的——没有公式,不同的艺术家将解释相同的主题以他们自己的方式,尽管他们都画他们所看到的。我记得当我还是学习生活中这图和彩笔很困惑当我看到学生使用纯的颜色在他们的照片。我知道我只是没看到纯绿色的脸——是有不同的眼睛看到的颜色,我很好奇?我认为这是玫瑰Frantzen或也许艾米Berenz谁拿走了我的彩笔,教我你可以把灰色色调我使用纯色交叉排线。帕克先生(我的老师)走得更远。我一直在变得越来越大套彩笔,不断地抱怨,我只是找不到准确的语气,我看到肉的模型。他终于锁定我的大规模集在他的储物柜,给了我一套十彩笔他得从药店与纯粹的颜色,黑色和白色的,告诉我,我是使用这些几个月,直到我意识到,我可以混合任何颜色在我与他们大组。这是一个教训我带在我心中到今天。这是一个柔和的演示我了我最后的斯科茨代尔车间类,更好的展示了视觉的概念混合鲜艳的颜色。从这个更大的观点融合在一起的颜色视觉到他们更浅灰色的感觉。
Now, when you're talking about something as complex and subtle as a face, the color possibilities are truly endless. Just remember, any gray is made up of primaries and you can paint it as colorful or as subtle as you like -- there is no formula, different artists will interpret the same subject in their own way even though they're all painting what they see. I remember when I was learning this in life drawing with pastels and was confused when I saw students using pure colors in their pictures. I knew I just didn't see pure green in a face -- was there something different about the way their eyes saw color, I wondered? I think it was Rose Frantzen or maybe Amy Berenz who took my pastels and showed me how you could mix the gray flesh tones I was using with pure colors by crosshatching. Mr. Parks (my teacher) went even farther. I kept getting bigger and bigger sets of pastels, constantly complaining that I just couldn't find that exact flesh tone that I saw on the model. He finally locked my massive set in his locker, gave me a set of ten pastels he'd gotten from the drugstore with pure colors, black and white; and told me I was to use these for a couple months until I realized that I could mix any of the colors in my large set with them. It was a lesson I carry in my mind to this day. Here's a pastel demo I did for my last Scottsdale workshop class that better shows the concept of visually mixing brighter colors. From this larger viewpoint the colors visually blend together into their more grayish feel. 
但是靠近——你可以看到我是如何打破下来更多的初选。对不起,比较模糊的图片,我只是拿了一个快速急射在教室,但我认为你能看到我要讲什么。记住,当你打破你的颜色分成冷暖组件,值必须相同!注意下图上的各种颜色的阴影和光线模式是完全相同的值。
But up close -- you can see how I've broken them down to more primaries. Sorry for the fuzziness of the picture -- I just took a quick snap shot of it in the classroom, but I think you can see what I'm talking about here. Just remember, when you're breaking your colors down into warm and cool components, THE VALUES MUST BE THE SAME! Notice on the image below how the various colors in the shadow and the light pattern are exactly the same value.
