WC 1 - Lightly sketch. Be sure not to dig in with a sharp pencil.
WC 2 - Save some white using Art Masking Fluid. IMMEDIATELY THOROUGHLY WASH THE ART MASKING FLUID FROM THE BRUSH!!!
WC 3 - Dry using a hair dryer.
WC 4 - Wash in the shadows.
WC 5 - Wash in the background and texture it using plastic food wrap.
WC 6 - Back to the hair dryer.
WC 7 - Wash in the foliage and do a little "lost and found." Back to the hair dryer.
WC 8 - Once everything is VERY DRY, roll off the Art Masking Fluid.
WC 10 - The most difficult step: WALK AWAY!!!
FINAL STEP: Once everything is thoroughly dry and you have "new eyes," return and add the final touches. Who said, "The final 5% either makes or breaks the painting." They were so right!
