In the last Bouguereau master copy, I painted a monochrome under-painting first. Today I want to see how well I can paint a master copy following the Selective Start method. Also we will learn to mix classical skin tones like those painted by the masters.

In part 1, we analyzed the skin tones painted by Bouguereau using Photoshop. We will be referring to that image while mixing the skin tones for our palette.
