Still Working on Perfecting Rosie

Still working on Rosie, trying to get her coloring just right. I gave her a lavender wash to tone down some of the yellow. I think I like this better. She has a lot of preemie coloring going on and I want her to be just right!  I did not have any lavender or purple color RebornFX so I used BabyFX and mixed it with the RebornFX Emulsion, Diluent and Open Time mediums as well as a little distilled water.   Works very well and the 2 brands are very compatible this way. 

Working on perfecting my RebornFX Mixing

So I have painted my test belly plate. Tried to match it as best I could to my preemie skin tone on Rosie.  Rosie has more blue undertones on her belly but oh well.

Anyways, I used 50/50 diluent to the paint and 3-5 drops water in them.  If I added any more water than that for a color I offset it with 2-3 drops of Emulsion.  This time I got much less sheen.  This belly plate has not had any matting liquid applied to it at all and you can see it only has a slight sheen.

I plan to test the sealer liquid on it next but I want to allow it to cure at least 24 hours.  I am going to try the sealers on the test belly before I decide how to seal my Rosie.  

I got a little too much paint on the creases and it was grabbing fast by the time I tried to correct it so this paint does not rub off easily once it starts to set.  That is good!  I think I am going to really like these paints.

RebornFX Painted Baby Rosie Progress Revealed!!!

This is my secret Baby Rosie, in progress with RebornFX paints. I am loving her skin tones! I purposely made her stronger in undertones to give her a preemie coloring. She will be going up for sale at IDTS 2017 when finished.  I have not applied any sealers yet.  I am letting rest for some cure time.
