After the "rash" stage has dried I mix a flesh tone -- usually yellow ocher, vermilion and white with a touch of cerulean. This I apply in a thin wash over the underpainting. I then mix various shadow and "half" tones which I apply and blend with the flesh tone. I will then go in and paint the eyes, mouth and other details. You'll notice that the background color has changed to a deeper blue-grey. This often happens in relation to the flesh colors.
Next time finishing up!
