Using a stiff brush of your choice, begin to brush color into an area about 2 or 3” in diameter. Immediately wipe back using a lint free paper towel or t-shirt like material. (Viva paper towels or old tee shirts make excellent wipe away materials.) Continue until entire piece is antiqued and wiped back. (Most people prefer to also do the bottom or back)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecide what additional colors you would like to use and begin applying one color at a time. In order to extend the “workability” of your translucent color, try placing a small drop of BL-1, Blending Media, onto your palette. Tip your brush lightly into the media, VERY LITTLE IS NEEDED, then “swirl” it into your colors prior to applying them to your piece. This will permit your brush to move smoothly as you add color and will eliminate virtually all brush marks. Since all products are very concentrated, it’s easy to add to much media. Adding too much will prevent the color from drying.If you find that you would like to wipe back more color than you t-shirt piece will allow, you may want to place a small amount of AS-1, Antiquing Solution, in a clean cloth as you wipe back the color, or use a baby wipe. Generally, the natural look can be achieved by having the most concentration of color deep into the cracks and crevices of your piece creating the effect of natural shading, and highlights or lighter hues on raised areas.Additional details can be added by using other Fashenhues products; Acrylic Stains, Metallic colors, Luminescent colors, the Pearls or by adding gold or silver Powder to the translucent colors.Try using the P-1 White, or P-2 Gold White or Gold pearl like colors over top of you translucent colors for a beautiful sheen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeal and protect your finished piece by using Fashenhues Flat Matte.

A good base color for a sky would be S-7, Blue Gray, or for a lighter base, S-42, Morning Glory. For a darker sky, you might use S-44, Denim as a base. When adding a second color with a cloth, the color just blends into the base sky color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen painting flesh tones, antique with S-2, Mocha, or S-9, Gray.
