Semi-gloss faces/hands

Thanks for that link, I just added it to my favorites list.  I think I'll add some "head" oil to a scrap figure face first.  Reminds me of a Med. cruise I was on in 1968, some of the marines I was with who smoked pipes rubbed the wood in the crease where nose meets face, said it "lubricated the wood".  I don't know about that, but it made the outside shinier.  Some of the odd things you see in "the crotch".

                 thanks.....................    G.L.

I simply leave mine flat. I've heard of some folks rubbing a finger on their forehead then on the figure. If you get your highlights and shadows right, you shouldn't need this.

In her step by step article/thread on the painting of The Last of the Mohicans, Marion Ball uses no glosses, though there are some oils used for finla touches. Click here for details.
