![]() ![]() Allow the paint to dry slightly on the brush for a very light effect, similar to the “dry brushing” painting technique. Stiff Brush: Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity of paint onto a surface using a stiff brush.For a darker shade apply larger quantities and for lighter shades apply smaller quantities. Larger Soft Brush: For apply larger amounts to larger areas.Apply a small amount to the brush and apply directly to the surface. Fine Soft Brush: For very detailed work.A different effect is obtained depending on whether a soft or stiff brush used to apply the paint.For a more even effect paint an even coat onto a surface. Any number of coats can be applied in this way. For a patchy effect dab the paint onto a surface and keep dabbing in the same place until the paint dries. Dip the brush and immediately apply to the surface.The more the paint evaporates, the thicker and darker the paint gets. For a very dark shade, decant a small amount into a separate pot and allow the paint to evaporate.Another option is to simply splash water onto the paint and leave to dry – without dabbing. This technique can be used after the paint has dried or while it is still wet. The more water used, the greater the effect. As the water dries, the paint separates into shades of light and dark. Further variations in shade can be created by dabbing a damp or wet brush, cloth or tissue onto the painted surface and then leaving to dry.A thick coat of paint will dry a darker shade, and a thin coat of paint will dry a lighter shade. The shade will vary depending on the quantity applied.For a broken, patchy effect apply to small areas/patches at a time and allow to dry – more in some areas, less in others. Any number of coats of paint can be applied over the top of each other. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying another.

Test the paint on hidden surfaces before use to ensure compatibility and adhesion.Or, after painting dab the wet or dry paint with a wet brush. Or to lighten the colour, apply paint to a surface with a damp/wet brush. Do not add water into the paint pot, it’s best tip a little paint into a separate pot and then add small amounts of water. Evaporation with cause the liquid to thicken and the colour to darken. Replace the lid quickly during use to prevent the liquid from evaporating. Thoroughly shake with the ball bearing rattling and stir before each and every use. The mixture will settle on the bottom of the pot.Do not let the paint fully harden onto brush. Always clean the brush in water or methylated spirit straight after use (not white spirit).It is very difficult to remove the lumps if the liquid is cool or cold. Repeatedly stir and shake the pot until all lumps have gone. Tip: keep the pot in your pocket against your skin for an hour before use and shake regularly with the ball bearing rattling. The colour could dry dark if the surface is too hot or too cold.
