You Always Take It Too Far

And It Was All Going So Well


Overall  I was quite pleased with the progress on Magua but I though the skin colour was too light, so I had added a series of washes with Reikland flesh shade to try and darken the colour. After highlighting I decided that I needed one more light shade. So, added a 50/50 wash of Reikland flesh shade and clean water. And yes it did darken the colour a bit but also left these ugly white patches. Which I then had to cover up. Obviously the wash separated, I have diluted other washes before without incident but had pushed the dilution too far this time.
