I’m using Golden fluid paints now ( my first two dolls using them) I wish I would have switched years ago! Lots of help and info from this forum made it possible🥰

Your babies are beautiful!
Can you say what makes you prefer air dry than the heat sets? Is it because takes less time?

Yes! No baking and waiting for them to cool, plus I feel like the paint is easier to clean up.
I need you to teach me how to pain AA hair like that!!!
Another artist I follow makes beautiful reborn babies with Golden Air dry paints! Her name is Kimberly Reichner and her nursery is Reflections of Grace:
Here pictures of 2 she recently made:

Love everyone, @RebornsbyZebra. 
Managed to snap a few of this one while my daughter was busy. Will probably list her tomorrow.

Beautiful air dry babies! I used to use air dry exclusively and then started to use Genesis-maybe around two years ago. It was a hard transition for me because I felt like what I saw is what I got with air dry. I think it takes a different eye with Genesis. I am glad I can use both though because I have a kit now that I see a few flaws that would definitely get worse if I used heat set.
This is the only air dry I can find at the moment …and she was like the 7th baby I painted.

I know this is an old post but im researching air dry.
I LOVE YOUR SASKIA! The painting is beautiful.
Great job.
Thank you, I have only painted a couple of dolls with airdry paint, she was one of them. I did like how she came out, thanks again.

You’re welcome.
I wish I could switch over to air dry I have tried so many different paints and methods and just can’t get the sane realism- anyone that can use their dry paints and get a good looking baby is a true artist for sure!!

What is it that you’re having difficulty with? If you have the same colors as Genesis, it should be very similar. This is one color conversion chart that might be helpful. There are others. Just Google Genesis to air dry color conversion charts. Some are more extensive than others.

I’m no prototype artist, but I use air dry, and I think over the years of painting mine look realistic (I think) lol
To me, it’s all about how you use the colors and what you put into it. I’ve seen ugly heat set paint babies and ugly air dry.
