I allowed this grasialle to dry completely. Then I mixed a color that may look strange to most artists. It is a mixture of a flesh tone called a half paste. I apply it to the areas of skin, even in the hair where it will show. I use a very soft fan brush to buff it to a sheen. This gives me a surface to paint on over the wet layer of flesh. I use titanium white to very gently sculpt the face, following the patterns already established in the previous layers. This process always looks blotchy but it will even out as I apply numerous glazes of this flesh halfpaste.

The photo always goes to the top so this is the third photo. It shows the molded or sculpted form. Each time I put on another layer of half paste it is more transparent and it becomes more flesh like. Then I glaze with pinks and reds to make the skin tones luminescent and lifelike. You will see how it develops as I continue to work on this image.
