Peachy Baby In Progress and Must Have RebornFX Color List

I have been hard at work in the nursery this week and weekend! I am in process of re-writing my Peachy Baby tutorial for use with RebornFX paints. Here is the baby in progress that I have been working on using the new RebornFX color matches to BabyFX.


The new RebornFX color matches to BabyFX popular colors work very well.  We made a few minute changes for the better on some of the colors:
Strawberry Skin and Carmel Skin have less white in them so you get more true color.
Olive Skin is slightly more green undertoned, making for a more true olive skin tone.
Bi-racial Brown has a less red undertone making it more neutral which should mean less needing to tone down with blue washes along the way. The rest are dead matches.

I also found that Pyrrole Red 2 is basically the same color as BabyFX Dark Crimson and can be used in its place.
Pyrrole Red Substitutes out very well for BabyFX Peachy Blush
Bluebell Wash has replaced my Blue Speck Mottle and produces pretty much the same results

Someone asked me this weekend to make them a list of my must have colors so here it is:

Must have RebornFX colors list:
Caramel Cream
Baby Flesh
Carmel Skin (this is a peach skin tone BabyFX color)
Sunkissed – BabyFX color match that is nice warm suntanned color
Yellow Ochre or Naturalise – I prefer the Naturalise-BabyFX color match as it has a slightly more brown tone to it and not as vibrant yellow as yellow Ochre but you can add brown to the Yellow Ochre to create the same if you prefer to just get that color.
Strawberry Skin – BabyFx color
Pyrrole Red 2 (This is a burgundy color)
Pyrrole Red 3 (this is the warm red we used in our last class)
Mottle and Blush – This is a BabyFX color match that is a true red. 
Ultra Marine Blue
Light Veins
Bluebell Wash
Thin Skin – BabyFX color match
S Berry Blush
S Berry Lips
Ash Brown or Neutral Brown
Black

DKI Creases – if you do not feel comfortable mixing your own crease color

New Color Matches in RebornFX Paints to Popular BabyFX Colors

I just wanted to share this exciting news for those of us who used BabyFX paints and are looking for replacement colors.
RebornFX now has new color matches to many of the popular BabyFX colors. So if you have my BabyFX Peachy Baby Color guide, you can use these colors with it. Shelley Marie has produced a fabulous looking baby using my tutorial and the new RebornFX color matches.


She said: Announcing New Colors in Rebornfx paints. Due to requests from former Babyfx paint users, we decided to produce some comparible pigment colors from the discontinued Babyfx paints into the Rebornfx air dry paint line. This will help reborners who have used or are still using the discontinued Babyfx paints to still have some of their favorite colors available in another air dry paint brand and eliminate the hassle and time consuming task of mixing your own.I had not tried the Babyfx paints, so I found these new colors interesting to use. The reborn doll picture is one I am currently working on using Angie Jones's Babyfx Peach Skin Tutorial. I found it easy to substitute the Babyfx colors in the tutorial with the Rebornfx paints.


This is Shelley Marie's baby she painted with these colors using my Color Guide.
