Now that has all come to a screeching halt with the introduction of Skin Tones™ to the Alsa Signature Series.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Creating flesh tones with automotive grade paints has always been a difficult chore. Unless you have a formula written down, keeping the flesh tones consistent from job to job is almost impossible. I was more than a little skeptical about purchasing another attempt by someone making a pre-packaged skin tone kit. After giving Alsa's "Fonzy Skin Tones" a test run, I have to say that I was impressed. Thanks to Dave Monnig of Coast Airbrush for his suggesting to mix the toners with Color Blender. This made the colors a little more transparent to achieve better control and smooth blending of the skin tones.
Most airbrush artists have their own way of applying different combinations of tone values in their work. That being said, I feel this kit is the most complete and accurate skin tone kit available. For me, the kit would have been complete if a pre mixed blush color was in the set. Although, the blush can be made by mixing the White Peach and Red Rock. The other colors in the kit are Cinnamon Stick, Dark Sienna and Coco Bean.
