 A tip for blending oils. Blending a Large Container such as the vase in the picture above. First, blend between the values using an x motion over the line created by the value separation. Second, take a mop or a deerfoot brush and pounce it lightly all over. Make sure you wipe the brush between values so that you do not carry that value to an incorrect area of the painting. After pouncing it you can lightly mop it.

Tip for any medium
 Loewcornelltransfer
After tracing your pattern to your piece go over lightly with a kneaded eraser to remove excess graphite. I like to use Loew Cornell Transfer paper which is waxless, greaseless, smudge proof, erasable and will not bleed through paint. This transfer paper is good for any medium.

Colored Pencils Tip – Acrylic Washes
You can paint acrylic washes over penciled areas that you want to fill in more or areas that you want to darken and make them fade into the background. Make sure that you use a small amount of paint that has been watered down. You will do this once you have finished painting that area and have established form with proper shadings and highlights.

Tip on colored pencils – New Product – Inktense by Derwent
inktense
A person asked me if I paint with colored pencils over fabric. These pencils are watersoluble pencils that react like ink when you add water. They are perfect to paint over fabric. Paint your design dry and then add water with a brush over your painted areas. They have intense bright colors.
