Strike a Pose: Learning to Paint Flesh Tones
Helen studies and captures realistic fresh colors from a doll as if it were a real person, showing how you can
capture the notoriously hard realism of skin. From the onset Helen tells us to ensure the model is in a pose
that relates to their personality. There are many many fantastic and hints in this video that will help you
bring vibrant life and color to your life paintings. From the beginnings of a rough painted sketch you will
witness the doll and the painting come to life, capturing each contour, each flow of material and interpreting
each area of light and dark. Helen further teaches us the principles of painting with more instruction than you
thought possible. You will have to watch this video over and over again to fully realize the potential of what
Helen is teaching. As Helen points out in her own unique and wonderful way, "You diddle with it until it is
done." Every artist should own a copy.
