 |
| Using Pthalo Blue & Pthalo Green
mixed for 'veining'- combine well |
Always remove any excess paint, I find sheets of kitchen towel ideal for
this. |
 |
 |
| Lightly paint on your veins using
your finest brush & gently blot with a clean cosmetic sponge - we
want very faint lines. |
Again, using the heat gun to set, once we are
happy! |
 |
 |
| We are now ready to add our blusher
and blemishes etc. I like to use small amounts of Pyrrole Red 02 &
Burnt Umber . |
Load a piece of Natural Sea Sponge with paint
using a brush. |
 |
 |
| Remove any excess.... |
and lightly add to cheeks and chin areas. |
|
 |
 |
|
I then use the cosmetic foam wedge to 'soften' the
paint. Heat set. |
Now onto the next step |
|
 |
 |
|
I add flesh 07 to help blend
the colours... |
this softens the darker red and gives a more skin
like texture. Heat Set. |
 |
 |
| I am going to add a little blusher
now. |
Using the same mix of Pyrrol Red 02 and Burnt
Umber, use a brush and load a cosmetic wedge with paint |
 |
 |
| Blot excess onto kitchen towel and
add to cheeks, chin, top and lobes of ears, temples and nose etc.
Heat Set. |
The layers are now building up. |
 |
 |
| Now for those creases & wrinkles,
using the same colours as before |
Take your finest brush. Don't forget to remove
the excess paint. |
 |
 |
| Get right in to the creases.... |
do a couple at a time. |
 |
 |
| Then use a dry brush to blend in the
paint... |
A light feathering action - we don't want
to take all of the paint off again |
 |
 |
| Just to create a shadow and define
those little creases and wrinkles. Heat set when happy! |
Now for the lips.... |
 |
 |
| I'm using the pre-mixed Strawberry
lip colour here. Heat Set. |
Then eyebrows- the colour I'm using is Burnt
Umber toned down with a tiny amount of Flesh 08 and a small blob of
Genesis Thick Medium for a 3 D effect. Mix together well! |
 |
 |
| a steady hand and your finest brush is required!
Heat Set. |
Our head is now ready for rooting :o) |
