Foreword
The third volume of Private Lessons, the full doll making course
by Elena Kunin , is devoted to doll painting. Together we will paint
the faces, hands and feet of three different dolls. Highly-detailed
step-by-step photos give a full picture of what you need to know
when painting dolls of different sizes, as well as young and old
faces. Special attention is devoted to painting eyes: this is shown
not only in the step-by-step photos, but also in video. You will
learn how to paint over polymer clay with different kinds of paint:
Genesis heat set paints, oil paints and pastels. I will describe in
detail the special characteristics of Genesis paints, including the
peculiarities of baking them. This volume includes detailed tips on
what paintbrushes, paint thinners, varnishes and paint mediums it
is best to use. Apart from that, I will tell you how to paint a doll so
that it agrees with its general color solution.

Chapter 1. Materials and tools

Paints long break, without having to waste time on creating

Unlike air-drying plastic, polymer clay cannot be from scratch the hue that you have once found;

You can paint over polymer clay with pastels as well, though this is a rather complicated technique. If you decide
to go this route, you will need a dry pastel (not an oil pastel), preferably Faber Castell or another good brand.
We will need several hues of pink and skin color, and (optionally) blue and brown.
Mediums and varnishes

The Heat-Set Permanent Matte Varnish and the
Genesis Thinning Medium и Genesis Glazing Genesis Heat-Set Permanent Satin Varnish are
Genesis Thinning Medium and Genesis Glazing Genesis varnishes meant to be applied over the paint.

after baking. If we mix Genesis Glazing Medium for acrylic paint, but these varnishes do not spread

paints. If you are using turpentine alone or mixed
with linseed oil, let it dry completely before baking
(the painted surface should not be glossy).

Paint brushes
When painting over polymer clay, it is best to use
watercolor brushes . The best paintbrushes are made
from Kolinsky Sable hair, but they are the most
expensive, and they wear quickly when used on
polymer clay. They can be replaced with synthetic
brushes of good quality, for example those made
by Winsor & Newton. This is true in the case of
thin, round brushes, but as far as thick, flat brushes
are concerned, it is better to buy natural ones, for
example from sable hair. We use such brushes more
rarely than thin ones, so they will last longer. We will
need round brushes, sizes no. 0 and no. 000, as well
as flat brushes of sizes no. 6 and 8.

Chapter 2. Painting the skin

I paint my dolls with Genesis paints, but as I have already said before, the technique of painting
with oil paint is practically no different from painting with Genesis paints. However, if you want
to apply several layers of oil paint, each layer needs to be dried before applying another
layer. Oil paint applied on polymer clay needs between 3 and 7 days to dry completely,
depending on the temperature in the room and the thickness of the paint layer. Oil paint
dries better in light. Regardless of whether you are using Genesis or oil paint, the polymer clay
surface needs to be completely dry.
This video demonstrates some basic painting techniques: the right way to apply paint of
varying degrees of consistency, wiping off excessive paint, making radial brushstrokes, blending
paint with a dry paintbrush, etc.

As a pallet for Genesis paint, a white porcelain plate is convenient to use.
Thin Burnt Sienna until it is quite thin. I use paint thinner for oil paint produced by Winsor&Newton,
to which I add a bit (no more than a third of the volume of the turpentine)
of Genesis Glazing Medium.

onto the entire surface of the sculpture, except for
the eyes.
12

Apply brushstrokes with a soft brush in the recesses – the eye sockets, ears, etc. Remove excessive
paint, and make sure that all recesses have been painted.
Thin the paint, but this time make it more thick and add some spots of
skin pigmentation.
13

10
With almost unthinned paint and using a No. 0 paintbrush, make little spots (freckles).
14

11
Bake the doll for 5 minutes at a temperature of 125°C. As you are placing the doll into a cold oven,
don’t forget to also add the time your oven takes to heat up to 125°C. My oven heats up in 10
minutes, so I set my timer to 15 minutes. Once baking is completed, open the door of the oven and
let the doll cool down.
15

12
Now mix crimson with red and with burnt sienna to get a natural hue of pink. Do not add white to
this color! Thin the paint to a large degree with paint thinner mixed with Genesis Glazing Medium
and apply a thin transparent layer on the cheeks, the tip of the nose, the lips, and the insides of the
ears using a No. 8 brush.

13
To see how dark a tone I made for the skin, compare it with an unpainted hand. To make the skin
tone lighter, you need to use more paint thinner and less paint. The opposite holds for making the
skin darker: use more paint and less paint thinner.
