Lighter Vinyl

Some of the newer vinyl from BB is very light and nice. My question is: Do you still start with a heavier layer of
flesh 08 or do you omit that layer and go straight to mottle etc. I am working on a doll who is very pale and that first coat doesn’t show up much and it’s hard to see if you are getting the pin dot effect done well. Anybody have this happen? What do you usually do?

I like to have a couple of flesh layers first. The paint needs to be nice and thin so I wouldn’t make the paint thicker, but maybe go with a darker flesh tone.

Use Flesh 07 instead, or add a touch of burnt umber to the 08.
