Dumplins Peachy Baby FX Color Guide Is Here!

UPDATE: Since I wrote this color guide I have realized that painting with as much water as we have done with these paints we need to add some binders back in.  Therefore, I recommend that you add 2-3 drops of either BabyFX Sure Bond, or Golden Fluid Matte Medium to each color mix you make up and if you feel you need more adjust accordingly based on how much water you are using.  This will increase the binders in the paints making them stick better.  This can increase sheen on your pieces but that can be matted down at the end with matte sealers.  I can not say enough how important it is NOT to paint with watered down paints only. 

DUE TO THE DISCONTINUATION OF BABYFX I am now offering this guide for free. Please follow my Blog for 2017 updates to my painting methods I now use.

Dumplins Peachy Baby Color Guide

This color guide was designed by me, Angie of Lil Dumplins Nursery, after many requests.  It is for the beginning painter to use a Bountiful Baby kit, Baby FX paints and pigment powders to produce a nicely painted baby.   This is not a road map to painting all reborn doll kits and I tried to keep it simple to use. In this guide, you should learn how you can make a nicely colored baby using a minimal amount of paint layers so that the novice does not get overwhelmed.  There is not just one right way to paint a reborn doll kit.  This is just some ideas and methods to help get you started on the road to painting.  

Audrey Stoete after day 2 of painting

Here is Audrey after day 2 of painting. I think I am done with all her coloring. Just some final details left.  This body style is much better for her too.

Audrey Stoete Is Going To Be Stunning!

Audrey is going to be stunning! I was struggling as what to do with this dark brown pink toned vinyl. Then it came to me! Go Mediterranean! The Mediterranean skin tones are working perfectly with her vinyl! This is the end of painting day 1 and she only has base skin tones. I do not care for this body that came with her kit so I think I will be replacing it with a front loading full leg body but you can at least get an idea of her.

Here is the blank kit before I started.
