Hi Frank

Great start on a great bust ...do you use a retarder as the fiesh looks wet or have you used oils as well

Can I ask for the colours used on the flesh if poss pics of the bottles ?

Look forward to seeing more on this

Happy benchtime

Hi
Here is a pic of the colours used on the face

The first three right to left Black red Brown sand Ice yellow ....give me some basic highlights and shadows on the Brown sand base
The rest of the colours are for toning lightening and darkening .........making mistakes correcting them
I dilute my paint with tap water with a few drops of washing up liquid added to break the water tension
I apply the paint quite wet either colours side by side or over each other keeping a wet brush handy to soften edges
its a very haphazard process but with thin paint mistakes can easily be corrected
hope some of this makes sense
