i'm at an stop with preemie please help asap

In the step for flesh 2 and flesh 3 it says to add the paint to 1/2 tps of thinning medium. Is this correct or is it an error and should be the oderless thinner? Also, when it states to add blue dots does that mean dots from the brush and then blend with the mop brush or do i apply the dots with a wedge and the blend with a mop brush?

I have not done this class or ebook, so I am answering blind on this.

I should imagine the thinning medium is not a misprint, but if you don't like the medium you can use thinners instead.
As to the blue dots, I would say use whichever method works for you. We don't very often add with a brush though so might have to leave this aprt to someone who has done this ebook or class.

Flesh layers is always odorless thinners, and as for the blue, you can use yoru sponge and then blend with your mop.

Thank-You so much Lara.

Is my understanding correct then that 'odorless thinner" can be used in place of "thinning medium"?

Thank you!

Not always. In the case of flesh layers and blush, mottle layers and washes, you really want to use an odorless thinner. You can use thinning medium when you need your paint to be a bit thicker for more control for example veins and lip colors, crease colors, etc.

Thank you, Karen! Now I understand the difference......guess I better get some thinning material!
