Some steps


I took a few pictures during the painting process today. There were more steps than this.


1. White over gold paint. Alcohol applied. Dried and excess blotted off. My hairdryer keeps on tripping the breaker, so I have been letting these dry naturally. As you can see, in the areas where the white paint had been sitting, it was starting to distress the layers beneath. It eventually settles down, but is usually why I have to sand.

2. Raw sienna & burnt umber mixture pre alcohol.

3. Alcohol applied with the blunt end of the brush.

4. Excess blotted off (color difference due to lighting).
