Hi Minh,

I agree with Stanka that Chris's book (or just examining her paintings) is a good reference for this question.

Another one is Karin Wells' article, "Pure color in reflected light " in the Subject-specific Demonstrations section of the forum, for a specific application.

I borrowed heavily from both those sources in a post "Redacted Kimmy" in the oil critiques section about a year ago, if you want to see what a rookie did with some of that info. Like Michele says, some of those things are artistic inventions that don't appear in either the live model or any photo reference. Maybe the best thing is just to try something and see if it works!

Cheers,

John
