mixing flesh from other colors
What are the best colors and proportions for mixing up flesh tone? I'm painting a small figure and my flesh paint has congealed in the jar. (none is able to be salvaged.) I do have a large stock of other colors so please let me know your experiences. (Don't really want to hit a hobby shop these days.)

Not that you'd have a choice in some locations if there is a "lockdown" in place ...

In oils, I use about 1 part Raw Sienna, 1 Part Burnt Sienna, and maybe 5 parts Permalba White. In enamels, think Afrika Corps Yellow, Rust, and White. In acrylics, I've had some success mixing Burnt Orange with White.

Thanks, guy. In searching for mixing colors I ran across a viable bottle of Testors "Cream" enamel. Not my first choice but since I just needed a small amount...........

I would mix white with a little brown.
