When you want to blend a block of one color into a block of another color on a model, do you feather just the edge of one color, or do you try and draw the entire block of color into the other with the wet brush?
I tend to use feathering, but it's more time consuming. If you're going to do wetblending, try and find a paint retarder at your hobby shop, it makes it a whole lot easier.
It takes a lot of practice to look good, and I'm no expert on the subject.
Lots and lots of water/thinner is always a good starting point, the basic idea (or at least how I interpret it) is to slowly feather the edge of one colour into another, slowly using the watered down paint to mute the harsh distinction between colours.
Time for another loverly quote from our universe! :3
