I'm curious about how other people paint this. I'm using an equal mix of flesh (Sakura colours - it's actually far too pink) and sandy yellow ochre, darkened and sunburned with a dash of burnt siena; how about the rest of you?
   Since I think Siena is the most beautiful city in the world, I wish the paint had another name!

Is there a more general term for it?

As always, colours on your screen needn't match the actual colour.



Oh, and I am sure that you know that siena, (like umber, for example) refers to the actual earth in that region. Still, your idea has merit too.
Water is indeed the essential ingredient of life, because without water you can't make coffee!
