Oil Painting Skin Tones: Build Color Like Stained Glass | LES 17

LES 17 of A Year With The Old Masters — Learn to build oil painting skin tones the way Rembrandt did. Not with one thick layer of "perfect" color. But with multiple thin, transparent layers — like stained glass. This lesson covers your complete first color pass using Yellow Ochre, Vermilion, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, and Green Earth. Plus: how to dry your painting properly between layers. 📩 Join the AYWTOM email list for lesson updates & free palette ladder ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — The biggest beginner mistake 0:17 — Your five skin colors 1:00 — The Stained Glass Principle 3:40 — Why thin paint matters 6:55 — The waiting: drying your layers 📚 SERIES NAVIGATION: ◀️ Previous: Lesson 16 - The Skin Tone Ladder | Oil Painting Portrait Palette for Beginners 👉    • The Skin Tone Ladder | Oil Painting Portra...   ▶️ Next: Lesson 18- Hard & Soft Edges - coming soon 🎨 Join the Course: A YEAR WITH THE OLD MASTERS (AYWTOM) This series guides you step-by-step through classical oil painting techniques.
