Hi all,
I am seeking help for painting of a head for Linda McMahon.
I have ordered Citadel Kislev Flesh as I seen several posts recommending it for skintone.
I need help with what paint to use for: Blonde Hair Lips (for a female so redish is good) White for teeth
Also brushes to recommended using for painting heads since I know it will require small brushes.
Just needing help with best brands and any colors you know of.
Thanks in advance!

any white/red will work for the teeth & lips because its a small sample size. Just find a shade of color you like. As for blonde, do NOT freaking use yellow. I hate when people use yellow for blondes. For a lighter blonde use amarillo caqui (what Ill personally use for my Linda) and for a darker/dirty blonde use ocre amarillo...both made by vallejo

Just to confirm that amarillo caqui looks sort of gold in photos online? The one I found looks gold to me so just wanted to make sure. What brand do you recommend for the white/red? Just that same vallejo? I dont know what works best on the sculpts. Thanks so much!!

You can always add white or something with it if you want to lighten it up. As for paint with the exception of skin tone all i use is vallejo paints (as you can tell from the pic below)

Ive got an orange handle set by fine touch that I think were from Hobby Lobby. I also have a black handle set from folk art, likely bought at Walmart if I had to guess.
