Meaning you might see a patch of blond hair and identify the literal color as a very dull tan and he might paint it cad. yellow, an exaggeration. In other words he's not limited to the exact color but does make sure the value is correct. When I watched Ted do a demo, it was of a blonde guy and he first washed in some cad yellow for the highlights and raw umber for the mids with touches of mineral violet. All this wet in wet. After this dried, he reinforced the dark and mid areas and added colors in small areas that he had used in the face. A lot of it is trial and error discovery. |

Robert,
What do you mean when you said that "his colors were enhanced, non literal."

Oh yea==Don't paint individual hairs (except a few accents on the edges); instead paint the value masses (squint). |

I also think prismacolor raw sienna would be useful . A true tan with no hint of yellow. Unique. Use diluted. Very potent. |

In the w/s Ted Nuttal used cad yellow for blonde plus raw umber / mineral violet to darken blonde hair--but his colors were enhanced, non literal. |

I'm looking for tips on how to paint blond hair. In particular, I'm painting a young woman who has long, dirty blond hair. If anyone has done that I'd appreciate info on what you did, what colors you used, how you did it, etc.
Thanks,
Howard |
