Hi there,

I've been using oil (Winsor & Newton) for painting for a long time and i've just switched to acrylics Vallejo recently, and I have some trouble on painting with it because i cannot use blending technique which i used in oil painting. What I want to know is which colors do acrylic guys use for face paintings and its ratio to get smooth highlighting and  shadowing.

If you guys have any good advice, tutorial resources, or books, please let me know.  

Thanks in advance.

Thanx a lot for the resource, Franco. Great help. 

This tutorial is really great. Jaume Ortiz's work is amazing.

I use acrylics for everything from vehicles to figure. The only thing that oils do for me is a wash .Here are a few examples.
