STEP BY STEP - ROSE 8

Wipe Out Tools: These are the tools that I use to define the Rose Petals.
As I mainly paint miniatures I tend to use the smaller of the wipe out tools.




First Wipe Out: I start with the throat of the rose by placing two small strokes into the centre.







Second Wipe Out: These two wipe out lines go at the top of the Rose and are in balance with the two smaller strokes in the throat.





Second Wipe Out - Softening: The wipe out tools leave a rather hard line so I always like to soften them. To do this I again press my brush out onto my absorbent cloth so I have a dry brush. I place my brush at the bottom of the wipe out line and gently pull down towards the throat of the Rose.





Third Wipe Out: These two wipe out lines go either side of the top wipe out lines. I start these lines approximatey half way along the top lines.





Softening Third Wipe Out:
Again I use the same procedure - press out excess paint from my brush onto an absorbent cloth and coming back to the bottom of the wipe out line gently pull colour in towards the throat of the Rose.
