Somewhere I read a blueish wash helps?
I go on my word though , there are many super reborners here they will know for sure. :-)

Hi, if you use GHSP's I would mix up flesh 08 with a little ultramarine blue, that should correct the orange since blue is opposite orange on the color scale. It always works for me! Good luck, that is a sweet baby to work with :heart:

Is there a green? A THIN wash of that would help.

I have a lot of GHSP I will give you. Send me a PM with your address, okay? Perhaps we can do a little trade because I'd like just one little newborn girl jammies or something like that in any color other than pink or orange. I'm not painting with GHSP any more. I've switched to Baby FX so I'll let you have it all (except the matte varnish).

Using the colours you have, mix a tiny dot of the vein blue with the skin tone, then thin it down and use it as a wash. You might need to do a few coats. If you want a lighter skin tone add a touch of nail tip, but if you want to keep the tone similar then just use the blue and the skin tone as it comes in the set.

Have fun :)

Well, Cheri is going to do great now!! I just sent her about 40 jars of GHSP, mostly used, but lots of paint left. Can't wait to see her babies now. Go girl!!
