PAINTING TIPS
Using both pen work and sheer washes of acrylic paint is an enjoyable process. Al- low the pen to do most of the detail work. As layers of color coverage are floated or washed on, be sure to keep them very sheer on the foreground, and allow the back- ground to bear as much highlighting as possible. Whether floating or side-loading color, maintain the design lines by using very little paint.
