Skin Colour

One sunny afternoon I decided to make the skin colour for the doll. Sunshine is essential for me to make skin colours, because mixing the colours on a cloudy day or under room light tends to create the wrong shade, which often turns out very pink.
I had coated the surface with three layers and then noticed that it was too yellow.

The next day I added a bit of red paint to make a more appropriate colour and layered four more coats. Finally the skin colour was as I wanted and evenly painted.

On the third day, the paint had completely dried and I could connect all the parts with elastic.

It has been a long time since I put the eyes in and since the undercoat covered the eyeballs I had totally forgotten the colour of the eyes until I cleaned it off.
