curious greens
Here's a useful green for you. I make it from cerulean blue and a darker shade of Naples yellow. By fiddling with it, you can make some "high" yellow, or high green shdes, that (probably like Chris Saper's Thalo Yellow Green) will temper warm flesh tones quite nicely, and gently.
It is especially useful if you are doing a portrait that is mostly alizarin or rose madder on the one side, and Naples yellow on the other side (using them in combination to create a delicate flesh tone). By kicking your cerulean/Naples green over to one side or the other (blue or yellow) you can get some very delicate skin tone effects in the cool areas of the face/body, for example.
My point is, this curioius green may be like Chris's TYG. I've promised myself I'm going to try it.
