    I like doing lashes with regular pencil or colored pencils

    Also new to the world of doll repainting/face ups. Art first I was trying to stick to the most popular methods of watercolor pencils and chalk pastels but for some reason I've found myself struggling with the use of dry application. I much prefer the use of liquid/cream application.

    • @LaurieLeighArt
      @LaurieLeighArt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like a combo of dry and wet for sure. I started out as a painter so it just made sense to me.

    I'm going to be restoring our childhood brunette Midge I purchased Liquitex Her face is a little damaged so I hope the paint takes I heard it's best to dilute the paint with water and to make two thin layers instead of one thick one to prevent streaks or that "caked on" look I also bought a binder for the paint to adhere I hope it works! Thank you for this very informative post

    so if you had to choose, between Vallejo Model Color and Liquitix Acrylic Gouche which over all does better for a face up over all

    I like to use acrylic inks. Some of the india inks tend to bleed when re-wet (like when I reseal it with glaze). They come in bottles with droppers inside.

    • @LaurieLeighArt

      I have a set of inks but I am always afraid they don't dry on vinyl so I am hesitant to use them that way.

    Hello. I have not painted anything in my adult life…except walls. So I was wondering if you could help. I just want to change some Barbie shoes from pink to black but so afraid the color will rub off. Could you tell me what to use to prime, paint, and seal? Thanks so much.

    • @LaurieLeighArt
      @LaurieLeighArt  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes that is tricky. I spray paint them but there is a catch. Sometimes they get sticky. Especially if they are made of vinyl. If that happens I paint mod podge over it. Hope that helps.

    New subscriber and I must say your work is amazing! Can you please give me some advise. I have never painted a doll before but I have a baby doll (preemie size) that I want to repaint as Darth Maul. My boyfriend & I are huge Star Wars fans and I want to make him a special present. What would be the best paint to use since I have to cover a large area and maintain full coverage? Base coat? Top coat/sealant? I appreciate any advice you are willing to give!

    Wow I am surprised about Createx. The new bottle you also have I didn´t used yet on a doll but I used the acrylics of Createx for decades and never saw them that thin. I wonder if they changed the formula.
    What I also have as black I forgot to mention is AeroColor from the brand Schmincke. It´s pretty fluid, so I never add water to it. It comes in a glass bottle with a pipette as dispenser and I think I paid about the same price for it as for the Createx acrylics.

    • @LaurieLeighArt
      @LaurieLeighArt  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always look forward to your videos!! Thanks so much for all the information you share with us. 💕
    I love Golden Acrylics and have always used them but now after watching this, I really want to try the Liquitex Acrylic Gouache! Also, the doll you used in this video, has she had her nose resculpted? If so, what did you use and how? If it's not too much to ask, could you make a video on how to resculpt/reshape the nose on dolls? 💕
