Found this using the orange button to the left!
Mandarin Drake Bill:
WA165 Flesh - Medium coat over entire area, stay out of nasal and do not cover the nail.
WA160 Med. Red - medium to light coat
WA161 Snow Goose Red - medium to light coat, heavier by base of bill and lighter on the upper surfaces.
WA10 White - very light application, blend on nail.
WA141 Yellow Ochre - lightly over the white to give an ivory color on the nail.
Finish with fungicidal sealer and then satin finish.
Mandarin Drake Feet:
WA165 Flesh - Medium to heavy coat
WA143 Waterfowl Yellow - (add a little WA90 Orange)light to medium coat on legs and toes, stay off of the webs.
WA90 Orange - light application just to warm up the previous color.
WA30 Black - Very light application on webs and highlight the joints.
I put on a black wash over the entire leg and toes.
Finish with the sealer and satin finish.
