The classic portrait painters earth pigment...add white get pinky flesh hues.
Then add ochres, umbers & bone black to obtain a huge array of possibilities covering pretty much the entire range of human skin hues under all types of light! Great value.

"Venetian Red is synthetic Iron Oxide, a heavy red, which yields fruity fleshy hues, and makes great sonority when mixed with the Yellow Lakes. Favoured by many portrait and landscape artists as a staple."
