Online Masterclass: Painting and Toning a Doll's Face and Body — by Victoria Tsetelman

In this online masterclass, you will learn to paint and tone a doll's face and body — from foundational knowledge to the final sealing of the paintwork. The course is taught by Victoria Tsetelman, a doll-making artist with over 15 years of experience in polymer clay and porcelain, whose works are held in private collections around the world.

The masterclass covers the complete painting process: you will receive the foundational knowledge needed to paint the doll's eyes using watercolor pencils, learn to tone the face, and tone the hands and feet using pastels and eyeshadows. The lesson concludes with sealing all the paintwork with a matte fixative varnish for a long-lasting result.
