This will be a SLOW process!
All Ethnics are.
This one is just slower since I have never perfected the ethnic tones in air dry paints so I am learning as I go which makes the process even slower.
So here is the blank kit that I coated with Genesis Matte Varnish
And the kit with a layer of the Dark Ethnic with some added blue. This is all I got done yesterday. She has no color on her lips and nails yet, just a little shading around the outer edges of the upper lip.
I will continue on today. :)

Debbie, Try using some linseed oil in your paints ( this will help with the grimy look that seems to happen when working with ethnic tones)
ReplyDeleteCan I use linseed oil in acrylic paints?
ReplyDeleteYesterday I tried some Windsor and Newton flow medium. I just don't like that stuff! I'm getting there and even revising my color guide as I go. I might be able to come up with one for people to start with then revise after my next Ethnic baby where I have more kinks worked out.
I thought you were using " water soluble oils " sorry about that. You could try Golden Acrylic Flow Release Medium this should help.
DeleteHad a look at your Ethnic baby and she looks great!
Thank you for clarifying that :) Yes, these are Water Borne Acrylic paints, not oil.
ReplyDeleteI will look into the Golden. I tried some of the Windsor and Newton Flow Medium the day before yesterday. I simply do not like how it separates from the pigment. Maybe I just don't know how much or little to use.
