Using white
After completing my last oil portrait, I saw that although I liked the overall painting, the skin tones looked too chalky. I realize now that I used too much white.
How do I get around this obstacle? Is there a different brand/shade of white that doesn't make colors look chalky when it is mixed in or layered on top for light reflection? Do I need to buy more colors of paint that do not require so much white to obtain the lighter shades?
