I'm a boy and I've been making reborns since I was 12 and I'm fifteen now and my girlfriend is getting into reborns and I use acrylic paints when I'm painting my babies and it works just as well a Genesis paints and maybe even better tbh right now I am working on the skya asleep and Logan asleep kits from Bb and I'm making them into twins for my girlfriend but rooting is not my specialty:(

I’ve got my paints and finally ready to air dry paint my bountiful baby kit!! Im so excited to see you’re videos i was never happy with the thought to “bake” a doll, especially over and over and u along with some google have given me so much hope and knowledge! Thank you! 😊 Also, ive noticed there are other brand of mediums for matte acrylic specifically like golden and liquitex, on the bottles it also states it makes acrylic paint adhere better & that you can mix with water for thinner consistency so im guessing it does the same as the glass and tile medium. Just in case anyone was looking for another brand as i was. I hope this is helpful 😊

Hello! I have really enjoyed watching your videos! I am new in this art of reborning and let me tell you that you are my inspiration! Thank you! I have a question. So, since I will be using acrylic paint, the only time I will bake my baby would be at the end to cure it with the thinning medium?? Does it have to be done in a New Wave oven or just any convection oven?? Thanks again !!
@lifewithsharonb51386 жыл бұрын
That's great that you want to try your hand at painting, and I'm glad I was an inspiration to you. You can use any convection oven, as long as the heating element is far enough from the bottom so your vinyl won't get scorched. I don't recommend baking inside your home - fumes are toxic. If you are using acrylics with glass & tile medium, you can just bake at the end with the Genesis medium. I actually like the thinning medium mixed with a little Genesis Matte Varnish. It works even better. I bake 11 minutes at power level 6 - let cool, and then bake again. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. Sharon x0x0

@lifewithsharonb51385 жыл бұрын
No you don't have to bake the varnish if you use folk art outdoor sealer or folk art glass & tile medium. This does take some practice. I apply it to a cosmetic wedge that has been ripped off for a rougher surface. I apply to the vinyl in very small sections. You have to change your wedge often because it will get saturated and not work any more and you have to wash your brush often because it will get caked on there too. Hope this helped you. Good luck!

Yes, it lasts. I bake mine with a layer of Genesis thinning medium - twice. You can seal it with Plaid Folk Art Glass & Tile medium brushed onto a cosmetic wedge and work in small sections.

For mistakes in painting, you "can start all over again" by using the Goof-Off paint remover... works well, but you need to wash the doll very well afterwards, let it air out for a few days. Goof-off wont harm your skin, however wear surgical gloves. Hope this helps some. Thank you I love your videos. I paint dolls also with Acrylics, never tried the genesis paint. However I'm confused with the baking part, and the stove you are using. When do you bake the doll, before you paint them, at the end of painting, or after a few paint coats, can you explain the fundamentals of this baking with acrylics? Thank you, love your videos.

@lifewithsharonb51386 жыл бұрын
You have to apply thinly in small areas at a time and keep changing your cosmetic wedge, and keep washing your brush. This is when you are sealing the doll with just the medium at the end. When you are applying color, you need to add a small bit into each batch of paint and distilled water, just about a 1/4 tsp or so. You have to make sure you are working with paint that is clean with no specks, and work in a lint free environment, with plenty of lighting so you can see what you are doing. I also find that using new paints helps as they have no dried material in them, and I find Folk Art matte acrylics worked the best for me. Hope this helps.

My mom says the people that paint reborn have been doing it for years before they sell them. What can I do to practice so I don't ruin a kit
@lifewithsharonb51386 жыл бұрын
Buy a Bountiful Baby kit on sale - a small newborn size - you don't even have to purchase the cloth body for it. They also have separate limbs. You can purchase practice limbs on ebay too. Good luck!

Glass and tile medium I can't get.So I bought folk art outdoor sealer added it to my paints and distilled water
@lifewithsharonb51383 жыл бұрын
It should say 'matte' somewhere on the bottle, and yes, put a little bit in each batch of paints and distilled water. Use it plain at the end to give a finish coat.

No, you don't, unless you use a heat set varnish then yes, you need to bake twice (after the first baking cools, of course). You can use acrylic paints and matte (seal) with Genesis Matte Varnish as well. Hope this helps! Sharon

Folk Art outdoor sealer matte works the same. Try Joann's fabric store, ebay, or direct from Plaid Folk Art's website. I can't recommend any other product because I have no other experience with any other product. Good luck. I hope you find it somewhere.

One bottle will last you for several babies. You only need a 1/2" mop brush dipped in it for each paint batch you use. You'll of course need more for the finish coat. Hope this helps

I thought you didn't have to bake acrylics. This is why I would consider using AIR dry paint. I didn't want the fumes or cost of an oven.

You don't have to bake them. I just like the texture medium that is a by-product of Genesis thinning medium. It gives a nice matte finish with a slight texture - you don't need to bake though.

You can. The results are better with distilled water because there are no minerals in it. The minerals in tap water may make the paint look different. I was instructed when using air dry paints that distilled water is best. You can get a gallon in the supermarket for a buck.
