Daniel Greene's palette
Regarding Daniel Greene's palette, there is a fantastic article on his palette, specifically for portrait painting and for flesh tones in particular, in this month's (April 2003) edition of "The Artist's Magazine".
It started many years ago as a piece of canvas with mixtures he knew to be skin tones, and then he literally held these up to Sargent, Vermeer, Cassatt and Rubens in galleries, and refined it to the palette he uses now.
It's followed by an article on building the structure of the head by Michael Shane Neal, which is also excellent!
