We all know that painting skin in male portraiture is challenging. The wrong kind of texture can wreck a painting. The safest and fastest way to lay down a great skin texture is to use our skin texture stencil 3 to create realistic male skin.

A perfect solution if you want realistic textured Skin
Ironically, this organic stencil is derived from Dru Blair's mostly freehand painting of his friend Anthony Floyd. It mimics the random patterns on a male face, and includes the forehead, cheek, eye surround, and nose textures, but this stencil is not just for skin textures. Use it anywhere you need a background to break up sterile areas with something more organic.
