This is a resource I created for a yr10 GCSE painting project, using Edie Nadelhaft as a starting point for studying flesh tones and painting techniques. The presentation acts as a step by step guide to painting, and covers skills such as layering tones to create depth, basic modulation and brushwork. This project spans across 3-5 lessons and serves as a good introduction to painting with acrylics and exploring flesh tones. Visual examples and easy to follow steps included. I have also added the first lesson which introduces mixing flesh tones, colour swatches and briefly touches on modulation. Please leave a review and check out my other resources!
