Oh yes, green in a skin tone painting is very useful. As a matter of fact many weird and unexpected colours show up! I've been working 2 sessions as a school classic model here in town - JUST the kind of thing you are aiming for here and the teachers always emphasized that green actually IS a very nice addition to a skin tone painting. And since I am SEVERELY pale the students really had to work for it. 
This is the school , and check the Alumni galleries. ARGH!!! They are sooo inspiring! Please note I do NOT live in Italy .- I worked at the smaller branch here in Gothenburgh/MΓΆlndal. ---> [link]

Would you happen to know what kinds of colors they use for people with tan skin? I tend to use either sepia or an indigo color for the underpainting but i dont even know if that's right.

Green for pale models, eh? I may have to try that. I LOVE that you've drawn a natrual looking woman instead of barbie - and you've made her beautiful with your skill.
