Painting Darker Skin Tone
Let's take 10 minutes to explore painting skin tones using acrylic paint. In this episode I will explore a dark skin tone using a simple palette of:
Titanium White
Yellow Ochre
Burnt Sienna
Ultramarine Blue
I love exploring different color palettes when it comes to skin tones and will show some of my favorites in future episodes!

Thank you for taking the time to elaborate on the medium-dark skin tones I feel like the representation is limited and I appreciate this!
FINALLY A BLACK ARTIST!!
Awesome. Exactly what I needed in a simple way. Thank you so much! Christa you totally rock. I have been struggling with dark skin tones
Amazing, lesson on skin tone. . This will take me to the next level of painting
I see it's the patience that I'm missing in order to achieve a successful look. This looks so beautiful!
This is encouraging as I move into exploring abstract portrait projects.
You are a gift!!! I have watched so many you tube artists who weren't drawing what I needed and you are everything!! Thank you from a new subscriber
You're amazing ❤
Wonderful inspiring
I'll be very happy if u give us a detailed tutorial of blending on the portrait .....I'm really bad at this
Wow. Absolutely what I needed. I am super juiced for the next project. This is exactly what the Dr. ordered.
This was the MOST helpful video I have seen on realistic skin. Thank you!
Thank you for this, exactly what I needed to see to get me to push past that chaos stage (when everything is so rough) and to take the time (and patience) and layer
So incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You've got an amazing narration voice, by the way!
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES ❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for this teaching video. I wish I could show you my end result. I painted Tiger Woods. Again thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this video. As a beginner portrait artist this video is invaluable. I’ve watched so many other artists that don’t convey the same knowledge with such ease. Definitely a new subscriber! ❤
First: WOW! Then, SO MANY GREAT TIPS! THANK YOU! I really needed this video right now. I'm painting the biggest canvas I've ever worked (3'x4'), painting my first portrait, and painting gorgeous black skin. I don't do things in 1/2 measures apparently. LOL. Thanks again for this impressive video. New subscriber!
Thanks for this. Really helped me, especially with regard to the right stages at colour blocking and then the blending approach. I am a newbie with working on skin as I tend to do landscapes/furry animals. Still some similar principles but I've always been nervous about portraits. Thanks again for sharing. Lovely relaxing teaching approach. Very relaxing music.
Excellent explanation of blocking in three colors to create the basic skin color. So far your explanation of painting dark skin has been the easiest for me to understand. Love the realism of your portrait.
You're really good at painting. Even I feel good when I'm watching it.
Wonderful..same lesson
PLEASE with Caucasian skin
I'm having trouble getting all the beautiful tones of dark skin to show in a tiny portrait I'm working on. The whole figure is only about 5 inches tall and she is somewhat back lit. I can do a larger portrait fine, but reducing the scale and keeping the values in the right places is stumping me.
Beautiful painting! Do you use Amsterdam Acrylics Christa?
Very lovely work. I started my first acrylic portrait and you video has helped very much. Thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial! I wanted tips on the color chart and you delivered that PLUS a great explanation for using acrylics on human forms
I love the way you explain..very clear..thanks
Thank you for the video! Did you use something to keep your paint moist? Usually, such a small amount of acrylic dries very quickly.
I might use clear gesso or a glazing medium to keep acrylics alive bit longer
#Charistaforrest I notice when you was talk about blending acrylic paint what court my ear list is many art video don't talk about use gesso to be use with acrylic paint unless you use a search word on UA-cam looking for a video that soul base on that topic
THANK YOU!!!! This has been sooooooooo helpful for me!!!!!
You are a GODsend. Thank you so much for your generosity in giving this lesson on how to paint dark skin tones, & explaining & demonstrating so clearly. I need this so much. ❤️🙏🏽😁
Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. Your actually teaching me how to do the skin tones. Im just so grateful. Thank you again. New suby for life.🤩
Tuition: One could say this is black on black, no insult intended. 😂
Could you send me a picture of this.and color chart please am try to paint a photo
This is really lovely, thank you for all the instructions and tips! How is it you keep the highlights from looking chalky? It looks so glowy and natural
Hello I also would like to know how you keep paint from becoming chalky? Thank you
Thank you so much! I can watercolor portrait all day but acrylic was just foreign to me. You’re the first person who really broke it down to me in a way that made sense!
Very expressive work really like it
That was very helpful. Thank you!
I love it. Very helpful. Thank you
Look forward for next tips on skin toons 😊
it would help if you said how much of each to add
Beautiful, fun and helpful! Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much That is great!
Thank you. This is helpful
Very helpful info. Thank you!
Love your channel 🌷
Very helpful tips!
This is so helpful. I'm working on a shepherd dog with blacks, greys, tans, and whites, and this blocking and layering will really help me.
Thank you 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you so much! Watching you paint is an experience! I am learning to paint and my people kept coming out too yellow, too orange. I would never have thought to add blue. :)
Great job
Christa, this is just what I was looking for! Thank you so much I'll be looking for your other videos.
Thanks so much!
So my very first attempt doesn’t look all that great, but I’m loving your videos and I’m gonna watch this for the 7th time to learn more. Thank you.
its so smothe and nice
Totally excellent little video; good, clear, succinct instructions and demonstration; loved it and used it! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
great video!!
Thank you!! My friends with brown skin want me to do more work that looks like them and I keep messing it up when I start adding in the highlights, ultimately changing the whole look. This was SO helpful!
This is a really helpful tutorial. Thank you. Easy to follow with enough structure for us to understand which steps to take and consider. The video showed the messy process and the end goal which helps so that when I try and it looks messy, I dont quickly discard it but keep going until the end / desired results starts to emerge.
Great advice, I always have trouble with skin tones in acrylic. I especially love how you explain how to use a black and white photo to see where the darks and lights are. New friend for your channel, appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Let's stay connected in the name of art. Cheers
I really enjoyed this tutorial. I've never had to paint dark skin tones before and Christa made it look fairly easy. I will get a chance to practice with a portrait of my youngest grandchild.
Thanks for how you explained in details and also gave the alternative/basic to the colours that may not be available in my collection.❤️
Hello! I just found your page and found it so helpful. I recently started dabbling with painting and am wanting to get better with painting the depths and warmth of skin. Are you planning more paint along sessions soon?
Outstanding! I’m trying my hand at acrylic painting as a hobby and glad I found your channel. I’ll be watching religiously.
thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im doing a portrait to my mother and you helped me a lot!! very thank you
This was perfect! Thank you so much for being so thorough and passionate! I can’t wait to practice some more
This is awesome. I’m currently working on a series of portraits of my wife
That's incredible. Thanks so much for posting this!
