Tips & Techniques: Tip: Refer to the color photo for shading and detail placement. Drybrushing: I drybrush all of my highlights unless otherwise mentioned. The brush must be dry. When drybrushing, I load my paint from a dry surface, not a wet palette as the moisture will get into the brush and make the paint go on smudgy. I also keep an old towel handy; it is great for cleaning the brush between colors. To start, load the brush by tipping it into the first color, blend out on palette paper then wipe and excess paint off on a paper towel. Lightly scrub the surface to apply the color. Use the brush on its side and scrub side to side or up and down. Start soft then press harder depending how much color you need. The harder you press, the more color you will get. The first drybrush coat should allow some of the background to still show through, additional colors should cover less area that the first coat. 1

Clean the brush as best you can on your old towel, then pick up the next color. Apply in the same manner using less. Tip: I usually have several brushes on the go. Tip: Clean brushes between colors with hand sanitizer then scrub on an old towel to dry. The alcohol dries the bristles quicker than washing. Float / Shade: I always float my color with the angular shaders. Mop to soften with a Mop. I shade around my design elements before basecoating; I like the softer look I get when I do this. Unless other wise indicated, I shade around the entire shape and deepen in corners and under design elements for more depth. Tip: I like to put a few drops of DecoArt Easy Float in my water. Tip: I float shade all my designs with a minimum of 2 colors, drybrushing my highlights between floats. Line: Unless otherwise stated, all lining is done with the #10/0 Liner and the paint watered down to an ink-like consistency. Basecoat: Use the brush that best fits the size of the area to be painted. Tip: I basecoat all my main elements first, then trace on and paint the details.
