This is a delicious little painting and I love the "atmosphere" that you have created!
Here is the palette of colors that I use. Note: The "*" indicates opaque colors and ALL the rest are glaze colors:
*Titanium White
Zinc White
*Yellow Ochre Pale (Windsor Newton)
*Yellow Ochre
Cadmium Orange
Raw Sienna
Burnt Sienna
Alizarin Crimson
*Indian Red
Raw Umber
Burnt Umber
French Ultramarine Blue
Prussian Blue
Ivory Black
My Underpaintings are made with a mixture of titanium white and raw umber. When this is dry, I begin to glaze over the surface to achieve a skin tone. (Always, two thin glazes are better than one thick one).
To make a basic skin tone (any ethnic origin), I tend to use one, some, or all of the following glazes: raw sienna (this yellow rather than an opaque yellow), raw umber and burnt umber.
Hope this helps.
