    Can you scale this up? I’m painting a skull that is about 5 inches across as part of scenery for a swamp.
    Cheers

      If you are asking if the technique would work on a larger scale, then I don’t see why not.

    What’s the idea behind having the first oil layer before the speckling? Instead of just doing the speckling straight and going in with oils after that?

      The build up of translucency is achieved through multiple layers. The initial layers or the base skin tone are all oil painted transitions.

    Is there an alternative technique for the spray of the flesh wash at the beginning for those who don’t have an airbrush yet?
