I'm trying to get the hang of an olive skin tone with my watercolors and it's getting to be a pain. Any of you anons have some advice for getting different skin tones with your watercolors?

Mix a little yellow, a little red, and some white. Play with this using various amounts of each.

Profit.

Use green instead of blue in the cooler areas of the face. The key is in the actual name of it - "olive". There's a reason people called that skin olive colored. Someone with olive skin will have more greens and browns in the cooler parts of the face, and less "peach" overall.
