Title: Technique Help


Manneus Drath - January 26, 2008 08:23 AM (GMT)
I know this isnt a tutorial, but I really would like a few.
Some advanced techniques that previously I felt were beyond me, I want to learn how to do. These will definetly help me on my future Golden Demon entry if I can become atleast somewhat efficient with them.
I want to learn how to do blending and glazing. Glazing I think is an advanced technique, unless it really is just making things shiny. ;) If thats the case then I just want to learn blending.

I don't think glazing is supposed to make it shiny but just the opposite
Like leaving a tranclusent layer of color.(unless I'm mistaken)
But go out and buy Matte Medium from the art suppy store.
It works like putting pva glue in the ink mix but with better results.
glazing is not just for inks but for regular colors too wich is easy to do with the medium.
Blending is tricky and just takes practice but the theroy is useing 2 brushes lay the color on with one brush and with the other slightly damp feather the edges so it is blended rather than a solid line(hope I explained that without confusing ya.

When I get home I'll post up some links I have on my home comp
also type (mini painting,wet blending into the serch on youtube there are a couple of video tutorials on there that my help you better so you can SEE what is going on
