Step 4

Elf Skin Tone VGC004

Paint a small circle near cheekbones and a touch on nose and chin.
(Paint was a bit thick - remember to thin paint with water)

Make sure all colors are watered down
 If too thick the transition between colors will be too stark and the paint too thick.
If too watery the paint will run.
