How do you do your mottling?? im trying to achieve a nice subtle mottling effect on my doll kit, what colours do you use? Ive seen so many reborns with this mottle effect but cannot acheive it myself :( ....any tips would be muchly appreciated xxx

Please if you haven't already...try Laras classes...I have tried a few of others and her's are by far the best I've come across...and you get them PDF very quickly...BOL... Mary

First hon a pic would be great to give you an answer but also above that Lara's ebooks and classes are fantastic ... you would learn so much not just about the mottling but paint mixing which is a challenge for me and I have been painting for years lol.... I learn something in each and ever class ... from mottling to paint mixing to differnt skin tones you name it lara covers it and with great detail .... Sherrie

Take a class with Lara..or buy her ebooks..all the information you will need is right there...and the moderators can help you with any question you may have on the classes. There is just much information on mottling to answer on the forum with out you have some understanding of the techniques.

Yes I agree with the other ladies , if you have not taken any of Lara's classes then I would advise you do because you will learn so much I have learned a whole lot about the different techniques in only a couple of classes ...her classes are absolutely wonderful

Lara's classes will really help you get the look you want

Baby hugs,

Thanks ok.....ive had a look, but which should i get?? a class or an ebook?? sorry im abit dizzy at times lol xxx

I would go with a class for sure lol... but the ebooks are fantastic as well any of them are great classes if you learn better by just reading then choose an ebook the preemie ebook would be my suggestion .... but they are all fantastic ...preemie has lots of mottling in it .... Sherrie

This is the mottling look im trying to do.....i love it!!!

for that type of mottling i would use an ordinary kitchen sponge...but still you need to buy the ebook.

For a great introduction to mottling, I'd probably start with the Strawberries&Cream eBook. Then when you get the gist of what Lara refers to for brushes, etc. then the Just Born eBook has more than one color mottling.

Thanks, ive just bought the strawberries & Cream ebook :) cant wait!!

Be sure to save it once you hit the download button!

ok, ive downloaded it.......how do i save it lol!!

you would save it the same way you would save anything to your computer. i saved mine to my desktop. sometimes, i save it to documents.
