AA Flesh

I have begun working on a ‘darker skinned’ baby (not really AA) and I am having a devil of a time trying to ‘darken’ the flesh. I swear I’ve put a hundred coats of paint and it just doesn’t get any darker-----any suggestions?? I’ve not painted a darker skinned baby this is my first one.

Add blue and reds into your skintone mix

Burnt umber, raw umber and a touch of ultramarine blue will darken it up fast.

Yes I agree. Also? Don’t make it super thin.

snuggle2me · October 13, 2020, 8:40pm

Agree!

Oh wow. I didn’t get a notification about being tagged here! Or maybe I got multiple tags at once and only the last one populated.

Ok great. Two people answered your question. Yes, burnt umber and ultramarine blue are my go to for darkness…and we don’t do wash thin paint with them.

@Keneen, do you mix them together or put them on in individual layers?

Keneen · October 19, 2020, 1:06am

I usually do individual layers. But, when I’m tired of layering…I mix the two

lynn · October 19, 2020, 1:17am

Now that sounds like me!! LOL

Thank You for the info!

Keneen · October 19, 2020, 2:09am

LOL. Layering does give it a nicer effect, though.

@lastingmemories can paint any human skin tone!
