Skill level: BEGINNERS

TIP:

To achieve the light pink colour I add a drop of pink gel colour (actually half drop because it needs a really small quantity) to the skin tone modelling paste.
To achieve the brick colour I add a bit of white sugar paste to the brown, then I put a drop of red gel colour and a drop of orange (the proportion depends if you want a colour tending to the red or to the orange)
