STEPS
side 1
Saturated mixtures for a color scheme
Include the paint names that you used under each swatch.
Value Swatch Range Scale
Start with a hue in the center.
Then paint tints and shades.
Textural Paint Handling
Protect edges with masking tape.
Start with painting the base colors.
Let them dry.
spattering
Make sure you protect the areas around the spattering swatch.
sponging
Paint this swatch with your darker color.
When your background is dry - dab a sponge into a lighter shade of the color. After it is dry - dab even lighter value. Dry.
Then use your second color and finish it up with dabbing a few areas.
glazing
Use gel medium.
Let each layer dry before applying the next one.
impasto
Use gel medium and a palette knife.
sgraffito
Paint the first color and let it dry completely. Pick the lighter color of the two.
Have your scratch tool ready (brush handle, paper clip, etc.)
Paint the top color and draw your texture (or design) before this paint dries.
blending
I suggest you add some Drying Retarder to slow down the drying.
