Join artist Rosso Emerald Crimson at Cass Art King’s Cross for an intensive colour mixing and portrait workshop, celebrating the launch of her new 10-colour Skin Tone Oil Paint Set, created in collaboration with Cass Art and Michael Harding.
The session begins with a focused colour mixing workshop, using the colours from the set to create realistic skin tones for different complexions. Rosso will introduce her approach to mixing skin colour, not as a fixed recipe, but as an adaptable system that can be applied to virtually any complexion.
In the second half of the workshop, participants will put these mixtures into practice. Working from a choice of three photographic references featuring models with different complexions, Rosso will guide participants through applying their mixed skin tones to create a realistic portrait study in oil.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with a transferable method for approaching and mixing skin tones across different complexions, ready to apply to future portraits, as well as a small finished portrait study created during the workshop.
