[GaryNorthants]

@munkkula Hi, I don't really have a single recipe for a head colour but if you have a photo of a head you want to paint then feel free to email it to me and I will be happy to return it to you with some colour hints and tips.

Best wishes

do you use your fingers or soething else to blend with?

[GaryNorthants]

Hi, thank you for looking in. I use my fingers mostly but now and then I will use a brush or a rubber tipped paint shaper. I try not to blend too much and where possible I find hard pastels and pastel pencils are good for blending too.

Happy painting

Gary

Hi Gino.

I am working flat with my camera on a tripod in front of me so recording upside down. I then rotate 180 degrees and mirror horizontally when editing the video. Hope that helps you.

Best wishes
