“Today we’ll be painting lips together! They will have a soft pastel look. It means that we don’t need saturated colours and high contrasts.” Let’s begin!
What you need
- Cobra Artist Oil Colour Titanium White (#105)
- Cobra Artist Oil Colour Ivory Black (#701)
- Cobra Artist Oil Colour Burnt Umber (#409)
- Cobra Artist Oil Colour Yellow Ochre (#227)
- Cobra Artist Oil Colour Cadmium Red Medium (#314)
- Round (#1 and #2) and flat (#7) synthetic brushes
- Tear-off palette
Tips
I usually divide the process of the painting into three stages:
- The base. This part is pretty sloppy. I try out different colours, see how they work together and add some variety.
- The transition. Once I’m happy with the result of the previous step, I proceed to mix and add the transitional colours in between the existing colours.
- The blending. This is where I create smooth lines between the colours I have already applied. I use an old fluffy brush to do that.
