Description

Winsor & Newton ProMarker 6 Skin Tone Set 1 Collectors Set — SKU PMSSST1 | £9.75

Six carefully selected skin tone shades covering the mid-range of the human complexion spectrum — the foundation, highlight, and shadow tones that portrait illustrators, fashion designers, and character artists need as the core of any skin tone palette. Getting skin tones right is one of the most technically demanding aspects of marker illustration, and this set provides the essential starting point.

Colours included

Blush, Almond, Peach, Salmon Pink, Tan, Burnt Sienna.

Why the Skin Tone Set works

From the palest highlight blush through warm peach and almond mid-tones to deeper tan and burnt sienna shades, this set covers the essential range for rendering realistic skin across a broad range of complexions. The colours are specifically curated to layer and blend together — working wet-into-wet with the ProMarker Blender produces the smooth tonal gradients that define professional marker portrait work.

ProMarker key features

• Alcohol-based ink — permanent, blends smoothly, dries quickly
• Twin-tipped — fine bullet nib for detail, broad chisel nib for coverage
• Translucent ink — essential for layering skin tone depth without muddying
• Multi-surface — paper, card, layout pads, vellum, acetate, glass, wood, metal, plastic
• Non-toxic — certified to ASTM D-4236

Extend this set

The Skin Tone Set pairs naturally with the ProMarker Singles Browns range for deeper complexion shades, and with the Singles Pinks and Oranges for extended highlight and mid-tone options. The ProMarker Blender (PMSBLEN, £2.01) is essential for skin tone work — seamless blending between shades is what separates flat colour from convincing skin rendering.
