warm up

Play Days Dolls · Guru

Did you mean to say burnt sienna rather than raw sienna? If I'm making babies that have a darker complexion, I sometimes use burnt sienna. I often use yellow-white to warm up the base coat when I'm making Caucasian babies. A little goes a long way. I just use a little touch of color.

The same thing goes if you have an orange kit or old doll to reborn, if you want to tone it down, you use a couple of thin layers of mint wash before your fesh tones. XXXXX June.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that. Maybe someone will come back in here, like Linda who gave the suggestion. Hang in there. :)

on another thread someone suggested adding a touch of burnt umber to your flesh color to warm it up,i was haveing a chalky/pale problem with a baby-- tryed this over my other layers realy helped and still let the mottleing show thru. thanks sage aww

I'm so glad adding the burnt sienna helped. Because it looks so dark and brown in the jar, people probably don't think of adding it to warm up the flesh color.

linda, it's great to have people like you share these little tips that make all the difference. thanks sage aww

Great tip Linda. I would have never thought of using it to warm up skin coloring. I'm going to give it a try on my next baby.

Cool! I might try that too. Mr Secrist always says I have Norweigan babies cause they're so light so maybe warming up will work :)
