I have had a couple of false starts with her.

First off I forgot to do the messy mix on her and had done a acrylic base flesh color 

So I did the messy mix and it did not make her head as firm as I wanted so I put a layer of rigid wrap on her head.

Basically I was starting over.

I then added a layer of modeling paste over the rigid wrap. That was put on with a paint brush then smoothed, and sanded.

Next I painted a base coat of oil paint.

The process was not my normal way but worked out ok.

Her head was not as smooth as I like but I am satisfied with her now that her face is painted on.

I had made her arms but find I do not like the hands on this pair of arms so I will remake them soon.
