Coffee-coloured skin - with oil paints.

I’m shortly to start painting Martha from the Airfix Tardis ‘Welcome aboard’ kit:

Any thoughts about representing her skin tone using oil paints? The figure is about 1/12 scale.

TIA,

Cheers,

Chris.

First I’d lay out all the oils I use for your everyday caucasion [:D]

Then I’d begin looking at the darker earth tones, matching them one on one to the above colors keeping in mind I’m doing the same thing just a shade darker through out.

Naturally the base coat will be darker so you can go from there!

I would suggest slightly toning the whites of her eyes down so as not to appear to pronounced.
