A flesh tone from the acrylic Hobby Color line. A base layer for shading faces and hands on model figures.
Responsibility details are not available.
Painting figures stands or falls on how the skin looks. This shade is built exactly for that job: it gives an even, mid-tone flesh area over which shading, highlighting and lip color are then built. It is not meant to be the finished result on its own, since real skin is never a single flat color anywhere.
First, the whole face and hands are covered with an even coat. Once dry, a muted wash goes into the recesses — the eye sockets, corners of the mouth, under the chin and between the fingers. Then the raised areas — the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, chin and knuckles — are highlighted with the same tone plus a pinch of white or light yellow. Finally, a trace of red is mixed into the cheeks and ears, so the figure does not look like a wax mannequin. For unshaven men, the lower part of the face can be given a barely noticeable blue-gray undertone.
The shade also handles surfaces unrelated to skin. Thinned, it serves as a base for light canvas, as a faded rope color, or as an undercoat beneath wood on a rifle stock.
The binder is water-thinnable, so plain water or thinner from the same brand will do. On small parts, work with a well-drawn-out brush and paint thinned to the consistency of milk; a thick coat will fill in the molded facial detail and the figure will lose its expression. It pays to mix a larger batch at once, since matching the exact same skin shade again later is nearly impossible.
