Stewart Report post Posted September 10, 2022 What i am up to is figuring out how to fade contrasting colors.Watering down paint does not work for me. Tried a mediium that will flow paint easer-Not. so it's a light dip into the paint and brushing excess off. Sometimes. Smuge was fixed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rleather Report post Posted September 10, 2022 I love the vibrant colors you get while you are experimenting. You always get the most out of the paint. I wish I had a talent with paint, my dad did ,but it did not rub off on me. Thanks for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leescustomleather Report post Posted September 10, 2022 I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but a brush modified to only have just a few bristles with a thinned down paint might give the effect you want, kind of like shading but with color.

I modified a brush to creat long grass that a stamp could not do. never thought about that for the shading. It's these little tips that I learn from. Thank you. Haven't found a Forum on art that Is as full of share techiniqqques as this Forum is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
