To date, I do what I've always done, dip my brush in water after breaks to keep it moist, and in between colors to clean. As my painting sessions progress, I find that the contrast tends to become runnier - I think this is expected because of the water. Can anyone else share their experience/techniques? I'm wondering if i just need to be more mindful of giving my brush time to dry, limit the number of colors during painting sessions, or use something other than water to clean it between colors.


Just a little background on me:

At best, I'm an average painter, favoring speed, and end result that looks good at arms length, with a select few details/highlights (I gave up on human eyes a long time ago...) I've used army painter techniques/quick-shade with great success in the past and am very proud of some of my older projects (from about 3 kids ago)

Thank you in advance

I paint out of the pot. When I notice my brush getting a little “gummy” I give it a quick dip in water, a quick wipe on paper to remove the excess water, and dive back into the pot. I swirl a bit on the lip of the lid, sometimes add a second dip to my swirling on the lid (if too wet) and then back to painting.

Works well for me!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/786444/10743831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/786444/10743831.page GMT
