Ive noticed on his paintings the skin tends to be lots of different tones of pinks, greys, brows all mottled and blended together - but in a really good way. I was curious as to how i could paint skin that way and if anyone had any tricks or tips on doing do. Also, when using oil paints, is it best to layer the paint?
