COLOUR SAMPLING (latex with acrylic paint)

These little circular blobs are of course latex but the latex has been mixed with varying amounts of acrylic paint in an effort to create varied skin tones. The top circle of latex has no acrylic added and the last circular blob is of latex with about a tablespoon of acrylic paint. The intensity of colour also varies with the thickness of which you apply the latex, these samples are thicker than what I would use to paint garments out of, it need to be keep in mind that whilst applying the coats of latex to a body part the colour and intensity will vary with each coat. It's interesting to see the colour of the latex when wet and then dry, the varied tones of which it changes during the drying process is quite dramatic.
