Tim, you mean to say that you pre-mix a large amount of colors and you also preserve it for the next session? But how would you keep or preserve the freshness of the colors? you put in a tube also or jars?

Tubes yes

Yes you just buy empty tubes. If you can figure out how to fill them without making a huge mess let me know...it's a yucky job. It saves you time in the long run.

Okay I will. May i know what your color combination is when it comes to flesh tones? What i mean is that colors you mixed and put in the tube. You said there are 3, the light, the mid and the dark. So what combinations are these? I'd like to experiment on it.

Humm...

I'll have to guess. I mix all colors per my subject and it's been a while. I'd say. White, cadmium light red, cadmium yellow light, mars orange, Van Dyke brown and maybe a pinch of Raw sienna. These in differing mixes with give you tons of color. I mixed the middle tone-then made a lighter version and a duller. darker version in batches about the size of small lemons.

Tim, an idea for filling tubes. Try scraping your paint into a large "baggie," cut a corner off and pipe it into the tube.

Thanks Debra, I am reminded of the cake decorating tools my Mom used-those might work very well huh?.
