I take an empty paint bottle and wash out old paint completely, add 80 drops of Color Float and fill with water. This way it is always handy when I need it.

Wh e n e ver y ou b l e nd two col o rs t o g e t h e r or bl e nd t he e dg e s of fl o at s , fo l l o w t his pro c e d ur e . 1. Apply a thin coat of blending mixture to the area where you want to float or blend two colors together. 2. Pick up the color you are going to use on a clean brush and apply this on the same area to which you applied the blending medium. You can float it or lightly dab it on. 3. Blend this using a dry, Dry Brush by gently tapping the edge of the paint, softening it into the base color. 4. Sometimes I pick up a tiny amount of the blending mixture on the Dry Brush, blotting on a paper towel to extend the blending time, and then pick up the paint color. 5. Always make sure that you dry your work between each step before going on to the next application of Blending Mixture. Glaz ing A glaze is a transparent application of washes, which are laid on in successive layers over dry paint. It is much like laying layers of colored tissue paper on top of one another. Each glaze changes the earlier ones, and the result is a rich, transparent glowing look. The reason for this is that a glaze, being transparent allows light to through it and be reflected back off the underlying color. The colors combine optically in the viewer’s eye and take on a resonance impossible to achieve by mixing them physically on the palette. When using the Shining Feather Soft Glo Glazes, do not thin them. Dry thoroughly in between each application. Ba s e C o at When I need to paint a light area on a dark background I always use Gesso to base this before applying the color I want in this area. This makes it so much easier to cover the dark paint. How I use my brushes Angle Brush: Floating Chisel Blender: Base coating and glazing Script Liner: Lines and delicate details (always thin the paint with water when using this brush)

Bristle Brush: Blending and scumbling (don’t wet this brush while using, if you need to clean, wipe it gently across a baby wipe to remove the paint, if it gets wet it will not work) P r e p a ra t i o n 1.
