what you need as a beginner reborn artist air dry

[@leeleigh2663]

I think it's lovely when people share their tutorials with others, so people can give it a go.❤️

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

Me too it’s one of the only ways you can learn. I’m happy to share what I know what’s helped me

[@lydiarotzinger3975]

Thanks for your info. I had been looking everywhere on what all I would need to get started. I want to get everything I would need before getting a doll kit and didn’t want to bother with the heat. With chronic respiratory problems I didn’t feel like going that route. So thank you so much!

[@Happyhavennursery]

Thank you for sharing!! I have two kits coming to give this a go and I’m so glad I found your page!

[@sophee24]

Thank you for the video- I use Genesis but trying to make the switch- it's REALLY difficult- This is one the first vids I've seen a well painted baby with acrylics! Gives me hope b/c im pretty discourage right now.

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

it just takes practice

[@Mothasuperior1]

Sophee can I ask why your switching? I’m trying to get into making them but I’m scared of the health reasons behind heating pvc

[@sophee24]

@@Mothasuperior1 I really don't like baking vinyl-I only have my kitchen to do it in and I worry about the fumes- Air dry just seems more practicle- so many color choices and I can go right to the art store and buy it vs ordering the paint online. I LOVE genesis- I love the look and how it goes on- I have tried to switch so many times and im at it again...hopefully it will stick but I dunoo

If rooting hair, you can put baby powder essential oil in some water and use that when you need to dampen the hair ❤

[@CollectorNotHoarder]

thank you so much for sharing this..I have been searching for a good air dry paint tutorial, but so many of them skip the part where they tell you about how to seal your paints after or about how to get the paints to adhere to the vinyl. I am a former Genesis Heat set paints artist, but it is just not practical for me because of the fumes, and the constant baking outside on the porch. It gets much too cold where I live, and it can damage the nuwave oven if you use it in cold temperatures..It can crack the lid and such. So i have really been wanting to switch to air dry, so then i can even paint in my dorm when i go off to college. So you can pretty much use any acryllic paints as long as you put that glass & tile medium with it?? because some people make it sound like you have to buy the acrylic paints from the reborn sites like Bountiful Baby or Macphearsons..but is that not necessary? also, where did you get the soft touch americana varnish stuff? is that just from a crafting store or do you have to order that online?

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

I ordered my America on line and the air dry you can get from reborn sites are good higher quality. I have run in not goring able to find the glassntile medium so I found on macphersons a replacement for it it’s the emolsion and primer 2 separate bottles a little pricey but it works. I haven’t had an issue with any of my paintings. A lot of people have said that don’t use apple barrel or folk art but I haven’t had a problem as long as you seal(varnish) really well you should not have an issue

[@CollectorNotHoarder]

@@tinytoesrebornnursery okay thank you for your reply!! I was also wondering if there are any substitutes I could get for that glass and tile medium? I seen there was like a deco art paint adhesion medium.. could that work?

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

@@CollectorNotHoarder I’m not sure I’ve only tried what I have

[@DolliGirlJasmine]

Is there any way it would work without the glass and tile medium? I can’t seem to get a hold of it in my country. Also, any alternatives for the soft touch varnish which I also cannot seem to find??

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

You have to have a primer with air dry I found one at macphersons I use it’s pretty good

I started painting one Pre loved Berenguer but I don't like how I painted the veins on the limbs. The veins on the head were not too bad. It was only a practice doll as its covered in ink and pink highlighter pen.

[@woodyulman588]

So glad I found your video

[@sandrahaigh2976]

Hi. Would you recommend a certain length of drying time, and would it be best to allow it for every layer?

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

it depends on the size of the baby the smaller ones and the bigger ones usally by the time you finish you can go back and start a new layer. i usally start with the head and by the time you get done with the limbs you can start with the next. most people wait a little bit.

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

its different for heat set paints

[@sandrahaigh2976]

@@tinytoesrebornnursery Thank you for your repllies. I've only used sir dry paints. I did consider trying GHS paints after my first reborn colour has totally faded, but I've decided against it , and determined to paint my other kits with air dry and hope they don't fade too. Just trying to get my confidence back to start on them.

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

@@sandrahaigh2976 using air dray you do a lot of layers to get the color you want so it’s a process

[@sandrahaigh2976]

@@tinytoesrebornnursery I did several layers and my end result was just how I needed it. I was modelling it on one of my grandsons, as the kit looked very much like him when he was a baby. I would attach a picture of him completed to show you, but there doesn't seem any way to add an attachment on here.

[@jammiesandbinkybabies8987]

Hi tinytoes, I liked your video/ tutorial., I have , probably a silly question, have you done heatset paints? when starting out,, I'm looking for vids in your channel, regards heatset, I'm slow at viewing vids lol, being I try to watch from beginning to end. I'm going to be starting out as a new reborner. I've been setting up a starting kit, I also bought starter beginner setup that has the reborn in with it, at another site I bought body parts from,. and now from another site I'm waiting for a new upcoming baby she's on the way as we speak , I found one lady on KZbin I seem to draw to for ReBorning. I plan on starting out with heatset paints. I agree with notes. I have from the hunnybuns site an Ebook I've been reading, it all takes time. I've waited almost 3yrs to get this far lol, I was saving money, still am lol. I pray I can feel comfy to get the hang of it soon I hope before end of year!. Thank you for sharing. Have a good day. Sincerely, Colleen. I too like taking notes. Good idea! Ty!!

[@shaunnyr]

For the varnishing part, are you using the sponge to pounce per each layer of varnish?

[@tinytoesrebornnursery]

I brush it on in small parts than use a sponge to bounce it . If you use the sponge I use I rip it in have so there is a little texture
