| Thanks so much, Marek. I'm pretty sure I have some of the quinacridone burnt scarlet here, so I'll give that a try. Very helpful information; thanks.

For flesh tones try pyrrole orange (PO73). It is a very strong orange pigment that dilutes to a wonderful flesh pink tone, not very garish.
For a more peach or yellow add some Py 110, permanent yellow deep
QUinacridone burnt scarlet is another pigment that is transparent red brown but dilutes to a very nice pink-ish hue (PR 206). All from Daniel Smith, but I am sure other manufacturers have their own version of paints with these pigments.
All these are very permanent. Pyrrole orange is least transparent, but you would use very, very dilute solution for a flesh tone.
