[Woodcarver] Fleshtone

[Loren Woodard]

Dick:

I'm assuming that you are carving basswood.  If that is the case, I really
like Delta Ceramicoat's medium flesh.  However, I use one of the plastic
bubble trays and only used about three drops of paint to an entire bubble
full of water.  Straight from the bottle and most flesh tones don't look
good.  It hen finish my carving with a mixture of 50% linseed oil and 50%
thinner.  It makes the color pop out.  

Hope this helps you out.

What is a GOOD acrylic (watered down) fleshtone?

I've tried all of the brands & what they call fleshtone
doesn't look realistic.

Any suggestions? If it's one of your most-guarded secrets,
I won't tell anyone... I promise.
