How to use

Prepare a clean, flat workspace and protect the surface. Transfer or align the printed pattern on your chosen support and review the reference image and palette suggestions. Begin with broad blocking of large colour areas, then progressively add midtones and highlights. Use thinner washes for watercolor and layered strokes for acrylic to build depth. Allow paint to dry between layers as appropriate for the medium, and refine facial features and hair at the end for greater control.

Recommendations

For best results, use brushes appropriate to the medium—soft synthetic or sable brushes for watercolor and firmer synthetic brushes for acrylic. Work in natural or well-balanced daylight and keep a clean water container and palette for controlled mixing. Practice colour mixing on a test sheet before applying to the main pattern to achieve accurate skin tones and harmonious contrasts.
