Great job Mark. What do use for your flesh tones?

Gorgeous carvings! For me, as a newbie, the paint job looks fantastic. I would like to join the question above and ask how you get such skin and beard colours

[Mark N. Akers]

Great job Mark. What do use for your flesh tones?

I use a 3 paint mixture, 3 parts Delta Medium Flesh, 1 part Delta Georgia Clay and 1 part Delta Light Flesh.The main thing on the mixture is to keep it very watered down, that helps control the tone.After painting the flesh I blush it(on the nose,cheeks, ears and top eye lids with a very diluted mix of Tomato Spice, again everything is very diluted so to make multiple coats till I get the tone I want.
