Subject:Painting Ethnic Babies

Taking Jack's advice in the percentage of clay mixtures, I bought Flesh and Ethnic brown and blended it together to make me another Mini baby.I need advice about the painting of the baby once baked.How much and what parts need to be painted.On Baby Flesh I only do the Creases and Lips, nails plus blushing.

When I paint the dolls (baby or character) I only paint the upper eye lid with a shadow under the lid. I put china paint blush on the checks, forehead, chin and top of the ears. I also put a little china paint in the creases of the baby fat folds and on top of the hands and feet. Generally speaking, less is more. Good luck, Jack
