Plains Indian skin tones...

[Harry Faversham]

Using Vallejo Paints, what would be the best shade of brown to depict Plains Indian skin colour?

I hope Elaine won't mind me sharing her blog article with you. She is an expert painter, especially of American Indian figures, and I have this post bookmarked, in case I ever want to get good at painting:

I find a flesh colour followed by a wash of Rowney 'Antelope Brown' gives a great Amerindian skin tone - sort of golden brown. Also works well for Orientals, of course.
