I use the same painting techniques on my dolls that I would use if I was putting a painting to canvas. I start all dolls with a dark reddish-brown underpaintng, then build up their “skin” with many translucent layers of light and dark, cool and warm tones. This gives a depth and dimension to their skin that can’t be captured in photos.

Note: He is not a child's toy and is not intended to be handled as such.
