How do you blend skin colors in a painting?

I am trying to blend brown and pink but there is a line and I just want the colors to blend. I don%26#039;t know how to get the line to go away. Please help.|||Get a brush with as little paint on it as possible and as dry as possible, wipe excess paint on cloth or paper towel if needed. Than rub your brush on the line until it disappear use the brown and pink color.


I use one one and half inch brush in most of my paintings, and it is usually very dry.

two colours of , oil, water, acrylic...?


if oil, blend lite out to dark unless shading/ shadow,


can also use medium/thinning blended in to cross over..


if water, use water in, or dark fading out,


if acrylic, use water and blend of mix fading either way out,


..|||When you paint, avoid blending with a brush ( when you%26#039;re using oils and acrylics, blending with a brush tends to beat up the paint instead of thoroughly mixing it and it leaves behind streaks in the paint when you apply it) try to use a blending knife. They sell them at art stores for 99 cents.





when blending skin tones, pink and brown in ok, but keep in mind you want to blend the dark color into the light one. so brown into pink. What I do is I mix an orange with red and yellow then I mix permanent green into it ( permant green is good since it won%26#039;t make the skin tone look muddy) and then I mix white into it, depending on the shade of the skin color the more white I add.





another way is to mix ALOT of white with red, then add yellow and permanent green into it, keep mixing until you get a good tone.





Remember to use a blending knife.|||OK, if I am reading this right, you are trying to blend in the side that is pink and the side that is brown so that the LINE is gone.. You are going to have to start on the lighter side (pink) and add just a tiny dab of the brown and mix the color. Paint that over the pink as near to the (non brown) edge of the pink as you can get. Add another dab of the brown to the pink, mix, and do the same..but this time get as close to the edge of the mixed color (pink side) as you can. keep layering the colors and moving towards and into the brown until the mixed color is almost as dark as your regular brown. Then dip your brush in water (or thinner depending on the type of paint you are using) and carefullly go over the colors from the middle out.
