preemie e-book

just want to make sure i understand correct. When it calls for like 1 brush of paint i use the 3/8 mop brush instead of the 1/2 ?

1 brush means that you swipe both sides of the brush in the paint, but don't have it coated thick (Lara usually says for each step which mop brush to use)... usually the 1/2 inch for the flesh colours and the 1/4 inch for the reds and blues. 1/2 a brush means you coat just one side of the brush and a touch means you just touch the end of the brush in the paint.

There are very good pics of this in Lara's Advanced Peaches and Cream eBook

depends on the color. If its red, blue, purple or green, its usually a 1/4" mop brush coated both sides. Flesh is always a 1/2" mop coated both sides.

How smart am I...NOT lol. I own quite a few of the ebooks and I thought it was 1/4 mop for all the colours. There you go, learn something new everyday lol. 1/2 for flesh, shall remember that from now on :)
