AA Baby
Permalink   

OK, I searched all over and maybe I'm missing a post on it but I figured I'd ask again.  I apologize if it's already been asked but I couldn't find it cry  While I'm waiting for Justins head to dry...taking forever...hmm ...I've been wanting to do an AA baby for my father in laws nurse but I have a question.  I know you can get bi racial kits but if you use a caucasion kit is the paint coloring the same?  I mean do I need to do anything different in my base paints to achieve the coloring I'm looking for then using the paints I have?
 Here they are:
flesh 04
flesh 03
burnt umber
raw umber
... just to get the correct flesh coloring for the flesh base are these basically all I need?
Thanks

I personally use caucasian kits for my AA babies. My paint mix is more complicated than that, though. I use the following colors (borrowed from Gina at www.noniesangelsnursery.com)

For bi-racial babies I use:

6 of Flesh 05
1 of Flesh 04
1/2 of Flesh 02
1/4 of Yellow Ochre
End of toothpick of Pyrolle Red 02

Medium skin tone babies:

3 of Flesh 05
1 of Flesh 04
3.5 of Flesh 02
1/4 of Yellow Ochre
end of toothpick of Pyrolle Red 02

Dark skin tone babies:

1 of Flesh 05
1 of Flesh 04
5.5 of Flesh 02
1/2 Yellow Ochre
end of toothpick of Pyrolle Red 02

The numbers refer to the amount of Smidgen spoons you need (sold by BB).
