Sharon’s Soft Blending Method
To Blend two wet colors together:
-
Apply a thin coat of Extender to the area where you
want to blend two colors.
-
Next, 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.
-
Blend the two colors using a series #200 Dry Brush
by gently tapping the edge of the paint to blend the edges.
-
Sometimes I pick up a tiny amount of the Extender on
the Dry Brush, blotting on a paper towel to extend
the blending time.
-
Always, make sure that
you dry your work between each step before going on to the next
application of Blending Mixture.
To blend a wet color on top of a dry color:
-
Apply a coat of the Extender to the area, apply the
paint and tap the edges of the wet paint lightly into the dry paint with a
Dynasty Designer Series 200 Dry Brush.
-
This brush has to be dry to work, so if you
need to clean it, do so on a baby wipe moving it back and forth across the
wipe to remove the paint. If you put it in water, you will have to dry it
before you can use it again. I have found that it is good to have several
of these brushes so I can have a dry one when I need it.
