Cannot seem to find the paint color indian red, that Sallie Dahmes refers too for a bobcat's nose color... need to know if there is another color close to that. It is not in any of the supply books. thanks.

Rich, Another approach that I like is to paint the nose orange first (I use Mallard orange). Then after that has dried well make a wash using just a bit of dark brown in water. With a brush lay on a coat of this wash. Repeat with the brown wash until the nose is the shade of brown/pink that you want. It works real well. Enjoy, Aaron H.
