5 out of 5 stars If you paint people, buy this book!   December 12, 2008
This book has saved me over and over. I have collected many color books for my painting. The simplicity and accuracy of this book make in "Number One" in my book! If you need help with skin tone, eye color, hair color, mixing ratios, this is the book for you.

I love this book. It has become my figure painting bible. It gives you the recipes (like a cook book) of the proper amounts of each color to achieve all different skin tones and hair! It's great!

This is great value for a novice that needs help to mix skin colours. The text is kept to a minimum and the charts clear to understand.

This book is cool. Flip the hard pages (wipeable), and you have all ethnic colors at your fingertips. Of course you will need to adjust, but it is full of basic eye, nose, lips etc. colors and carts. Im glad I bought it.
