Not that I would know...

[Conquistador]

Trying to explain the technique some people use, (not me, hence my difficulty,) of color, shadow, and highlight.  

This was to a non-painter, non-wargamer, non-miniatures person.  After my simplistic effort her question came up, "How would you, for example, paint red hair?"  [no Narcissism there, of course not...]  

Saying that everybody in my armies had monotone brown hair did not suffice...  hmmph, simple generalizations never does with affiliates...

I said I would have to think about it.  (Stall, evade!)

I took a look at the paints Reaper has for red hair, is that the best example?

I can't post a picture (her agency doesn't let it's affiliates have their pictures in our global address list so I didn't even consider that) but it is more of an auburn color.  If you have an example for that darker red it probably wouldn't hurt...

Asking on a "foreign" website would freak a certain somebody out so no links to LAF or other identifiably such websites, please.    

Gracias,

Glenn

With great loving care and tenderness, the utmost attention to detail, with rapid responses to her 'constructive' criticism.

all whilst cringing,  waiting for the knout...

NOT a redhead, but married one, & have essayed their portrayal onstage

Auburn red would be a dark brown undercolour (Vallejo charred brown), a reddish brown (Beastly Brown) highlight and a touch of either red brown or even orange to finish it.
