Hi; I'm working ready to paint the nose on this cinnamon bear and i know its not black, can anyone help with the right blend of colors to match the slight red that i see in pics? Thanks for any help you can give. Ken

I would paint the nose a strong flesh color first.I would like to see the color be just a little more neutral than chocolate.All it would take would be a VERY light misting of Paynes gray (a bluish-black color)over the chocolate,and I mean very light.You are trying to end up with a medium hue,gray-brown nose and if a slight amount of pink shows through in the tiny creases,so much the better.That gives it a fleshy look.It's nice to see someone pay attention to such details.I do a similar paint job on black phase bears only darker.They are often painted blacker than they actually are in nature.
Just wanted to say thanks for the info... Ken
