I have a figure for the Green Lady, and I'm trying to decide what colour to paint her skin. I'm leaning toward normal flesh colours with a green tint, like the current Orion model by GW.
I'm guessing I can achieve this by just doing flesh and giving it a green ink wash? Not too sure. Any advice, or other colour ideas? I'm hesitant to actually try Green skin because I don't want her looking like a half orc...

Have you considered a pure white undercoat followed by a glaze of watered down green ink? Once dryu the details such as weapons, eyes, totems etc can be picked out in block colours to give a startling contrast.

I hadn't. When you say glaze, do I take it I just water down and apply a really thin layer?

If you're going to do a wash on the face don't use too much and once you've painted it on dry the model upside down. It helps stops the 'pooling' effect that sometimes happens.
