Notes:
• Use appropriate sized brushes unless otherwise noted.
• Where “sheer” floats are called for: Load shader or angle brush for a float but walk the paint out on the palette until its semi-transparent.
• Use the mop brush to soften floats as needed.
• Dry brushing: Begin with a clean, dry or damp brush loaded with a moderate amount of paint. Offload the excess paint from the tip of the brush onto a paper towel. Lightly stroke the brush over the area to be highlighted.
