PAINTING YOUR COLORS
PAINTING TIPS!!!
1. You can always add more but you can never take any out! Some colors are stronger than others so when miking always add your darks to your lights a drop at a time.
2. Start on the left side of each row with your primary color. To move to the next color all you have to do is add a few drops of the next primary color. You colors should look like a transition.
3. Clean out your tray after each row NOT each square.
4. In each box you will paint the appropriate color plus a tint (color plus white) and a shade (color plus black).
5. Slow is fast!
