I have all of Pat Secrist's DVDs on reborning.I mix the colors like S.Sullivan shows on the DVD but I can't get the color right sometimes it is a deep color almost purple sometimes to red.

I am new to this but I am doing pretty good on everything else.I really can't afford to put all this money in this and not be able to resale(I am disabled and only get Social Security and not very much)Any tips on mixing and applying blush I would greatly appreciate. Juanita

Much of any artform is trial and error. There is no one perfect way to blush a doll as there as many different skin tones out there in the human race as there are colors in the world. Try less paint - genesis paints are highly pigmented. Print off a color wheel from the internet so that you can see which colors counteract which. If your doll is turning too red, for example, you should add a bit of flesh08 and some green. If you just use tiny bits and mix and match with what you have, it shouldn't cost you anything. This is an expensive hobby though and you may be disappointed if you think you can always sell and recoup the money you've put into the doll. Practice your skills and don't get frustrated if your first efforts aren't perfect. It's an art, not a science:)
All the best
