My photos were all done outside, with a strong cool light source. Cool light produces warm shadows. I mixed up a purple first, using Ultramarine Blue and whatever red you are going to use throughout the painting (in this case, I chose my Permanent Rose for a soft, pretty, pink/purple colour). You can add a little of this mix to your base flesh tone and adjust it according to the area that you are painting. Remember, in the highlighted areas, the shadows are sharper with more colour, and in the shadowed areas, colour is muted with softer edges.
