"With over 18 years of experience as a painter, I have gained some understanding of how colors work, especially when painting skin tones. As an artist, you need to prepare your color palette to achieve a realistic portrayal. The tones are very complex, and there are many factors to consider, such as the model's skin color, temperature, lighting, objects near the model, background color, and more." - Omar Ortíz
