Red - (K) The Red, Pumpskin, Deep Rusto; (PA) Orange Red; (AK) Ice Yellow
Green - (PA) Dark Yellow Green; (K)Deep Rusto, Kiwi Brown; (AK) Ice Yellow
Base for Yellow - (K) Kiwi Brown

Thanks for watching
Pedro

Pedro,
I too admire the straightness of the lines on the material of her dress, the python's [?] patterning, and the 'evil' eye that the toad is giving me!! Superb. Really waiting to see which colours are used for her skin and the techniques employed......I've still got an awful lot to learn in these areas, but enjoying every moment....just started on my 6th bust figure.
Thanks for sharing.
