Denise,
Sorry I didn't read your last post before I answered. As for the blond hair:
Mass in the hair shape with a mixture of white, yellow ochre, raw sienna and burnt umber. This is not the lightest color of the hair but a medium tone.
Make a mixture of alizarin crimson, a little thalo blue and a touch of burnt umber (a grayed violet) and paint in all the shadows.
Mix yelow ochre and white and paint in the lighter areas.
Mix alizarin crimson and white and a little cad yellow light in a very light value and stroke this highlight color on the already lightened areas.
Use some burnt umber for the dark accents.
For greenish yellow in the dark areas use cad yellow medium and burnt umber. For lighter gray areas with a greenish cast: ivory black and white and a little cad yellow light.
Remember that your background color is reflected in the hair. When dry, you may want to glaze a little of this color in a few places.
Hope this helps.
