Kate Charles' AA Reborn Painting: Blending & Shading Technique 

I heard so much about keeping your paint tanslucent/thin that this mind boggles me lol. Its so beautiful

This video was immensely helpful! I have your tutorial book and the real-life example helped clarify some parts of it for me. I would love to see a video like this for limbs and/or tummy plates!

Thank you so much Kate :) I already have your tutorial book, but this was amazing to see you do it! Thank you for sharing and the inspiration you give. I will be starting my first reborn soon and I'm excited especially after seeing this video! Thank you again!

This is very helpful thank you!❤

When hair you gonna make another video 😭 it’s been 4 years

this is great to re-watch again and again. thank you for sharing your techniques.

YAY!!! So happy to see a new painting video!! She looks magnificent already!!

Thank you so much Kate! I have your book but this is so much more helpful 💕

Thank you so much!!! Super helpful!!!

Beautiful! I've been looking for shading information everywhere. Thank you! Ordering your tutorial this weekend! I'm super excited

Love to see your work, thank you for sharing💕

Your Book arrived, I am so happy. Brilliant thank you so much.

I aspire to be this great of a painter ! will be getting your book I want to become a reborn artist . I love the art and fun of painting. it will give me something to do in my spare time

Amazing Kate! Your tutorial is so awesome, everyone needs it! The baby is stunning, as always :P

Purchased your tutorial and am definitely gonna get started soon! Love this video, thanks for sharing Kate!

So I made several duct tape two finger bow rings and my grandmother suggested to start selling them on eBay (I had been trying to get a job to help my family and for something else to do (I'm 15 and private schooled at home)) my mom said Etsy would be better because it's for handmade items. Neither of them knew I had wanted to start reborning because I just think it's so interesting, I love art and have many skills on different platforms of art... anyway not the point I saw a documentary you did on the art of reborning and it was so intriguing and you seem like such a lovely person, so glad I found your RU-vid channel!!

I loved this video looking forward to the next one

You can get those sponges at the dollar tree.

Thank you so much for your tutorial, you did an amazing job! Much appreciated! 🤗❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️☺️🤗☺️❤️☺️❤️❤️🌹😊😁💖

Coming back here 5 yrs later lol. Still love your blending technique I tried to follow as much as I could when it came to shading and your book but still have not gotten the hang of the darker shading using air dry paints. They dry so quick some times that loading my color on like results in streaks and craziness. So soothing to watch you do it though:)

Amazing!! Enjoyed watching your work in progress!!

Great! I have the book and now I get to enjoy the video. thx

I have your book! Thank you for sharing this!! :)

I love your tutorial. You make it look so easy. I am going to buy your book next month and get started

Loved this!!

Having trouble finding your book. Would love to order it.

Hello Kate, great video!!!! I have ordered some of these, not sure if they are the same as yours, would love for you to share the blenders with us ;-) Your baby is coming along so well, as always!!! Have a lovely week!! Hugs

Loads of thanks to the camera man.

Great video

Hi Kate! I just watched the Portrait of a Reborn Artist By the New Yorker.. That was amazing!!! I have a question for you & I hope I am able to get in touch with you... How did you become a reborn artist? what inspired it? And how do you know all that you have learned to make reborns?

Nice

Please can you tell me the name of this brown color that you use in the video? Or the combination of primary color ?

Will this also work in the werewolf pup kit? I just ordered one and I'm waiting on it to come in. I'm have never done a doll and I'm scared

Very interesting, thank you 💝💐 Just subscribed to your channel...

Thank you very helpful

If you are interested in my painting tutorial, please check out the description box below this video 😊

My girlfriend wants to know, can a doll that was already painted, can it be painted again, from a white doll to a black one,

I have a question I'm working on a reborn doll kit and I what to make a mix baby how can I make it have light brown skin

would love if you can do a video on the beauty blenders that you use

Hi there! Requesting your Help!!! I have your book and i'm on shading part 1 and my doll was looking grainy so i purchase the Gamsol Mineral Spirit and my doll wiped off the shading and re applied my paint again after it was dry my doll still looks grainy. How can i fix that I have not bake my doll yet?

Did you achieve that dark skin tone by doing your method of dabbing the paint on with a brush and pouncing off? Im asking because I'm using air dry paints and my baby turns out blotchy.

i would like to know more about the beauty blenders please

I am interested in your book. how do I get one?

very nice

please, could you make a video specifying, what paints do you use on the ethnic baby ?? because the internet is full of these videos painting without showing the direction of anything.

Hi Kate, loved this video. Just wondering, do you wash your blending sponges and reuse them when they get full of paint or badly stained.

Love your work. Where did you say you ordered your beauty blinder from?

Dry or wet beauty blender?

Does the same methods and colors used in your book apply to the biracial babies as well or will the colors used be different?

Do you have any tutorials on air dry painting??

I would like to purchase your book I am a newbie to your channel and to reborning I have been collecting dolls for years but had never hear of reborning dolls love the art and would like to learn to paint them I have started to buy some of the things I will need I have three blank kits one is baby Grant which I cannot wait to reborn

Hi Kate! This is a great video! I was wondering if I could use this shading on a biracial doll or if it’s just for AA dolls?

What kind of paint is that where can I find.i want to make a white doll in to African American doll

What color did you use to make this shading?

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO HOW TO DO THE NAILS ?

Hi Kate! lm Lisa :^) ..just subscribed... so I haven't had a chance to look at all your videos yet. Do you make dolls for us Canadian gals? I'm new to community and learning from all the great videos about this wonderful gentle peaceful hobby.

Hi, how can you correct a darker brush stroke that's baked in??😩 I can't seem to correct it

I want one

Hello would like to know what type of paint are you using??? With the mineral spirit?

Kate, where to you get those roundish yellow colored pouncers?

where can I buy ur book AA reborn painting tutorial

do you do veining on African-American babys?

I have a question. I know it is hard to achieve an African American baby skin tone, but I use my mop brush to slide alot of the paint up the limb then take my sponge and blot it back off and it take so much color off and I'm afraid that it took all of the color off. Should I just keep doing that for a good while even though it seems like all the color has gone off? And my next question is that, when I use my mop brush to brush the paint around and along the head and then blot it off with my sponge, it seems extremely uneven. Like I see some white spots somewhere and then in other places... Like its weird. Do you have any suggestions for my problems? Or anyone else?

How can I purchase the book

Hi, I started painting my first AA reborn, (first reborn ever) and whenever I'd add the paint that's been mixed with "Muse" mineral spirit thinner, my paint would blotch up and lift as well. I am now left with an uneven painted kit and don't know what to do. How can I fix it? Thanks.
