Marek,
Following your suggestion, I did try the Quinacridone burnt scarlet, which I already had here, and you are correct; it turned out really well. I was surprised it was so perfect, given the color it is right out of the tube, and I did dilute this some, too-- but it was exactly what I wanted. So, thanks again.
Judy--
I went back and found in your PFJ #6 (May 2001), a lot of really good information you provided about gum "rules" and also about one-coat gums (and on unsized paper). I'd probably not paid much attention to it before, when I wasn't attempting gum, but reading it now-- it's been really helpful. It's in a different issue, though, which I had followed, that includes those step-by-step instructions and illustrations, which is the one that probably talks in more detail about pre-shrinking/sizing-- though not sure.

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.
