Art lessons - learn about skin-coloring in portrait painting
The blue of the bruise should not be so powerful as to denote the bruise but rather the shadow shadow of flesh.
The same blue you might use for the jaw of a close-shaved jaw. This is the warm and cold. With an alabaster

1700's.http://www.geocities.com/~jlhagan/lessons/skin_color.htm (3 of 4)1/13/2004 3:54:31 AM
