TRANSCRIPT

Portraits & the Color of Skin

Glenn Hirsch, Instructor

• Skin color depends on light

• Skin color depends on genes

• Skin color depends on a great variety of browns and pinks

• Skin color also depends on the color green in the shadows

• Skin is greasy, so skin also reflects the colors around it

• Can you see the green in the skin?

• Can you see the green in the forehead?

• Skin color also depends on the imagination
