"ANGELA FRACASSO: I'm Angela with ExpertVillage.com. And in this segment, I'm just going to start filling in the actual vehicles. I've done the basics on the background. Of course, we'll finish the background. As we go, we'll put the detail to it but at least we've got the background, basic color on there. And mostly, this video is for--to show the basics and the techniques to do it so of course we wouldn't be able to get through all of it. I'm just going to paint in. Of course, we gotta do the yellow for the construction trucks because that's a pretty basic color and you just paint it right in just to fill it in. You don't--there's really not much of a technique to just filling in the base color. I think I like this brush a little bit better. And one thing I like to do as I fill in the colors is I kinda like to have a highlight color and then my shadow color right on the plate with me. When you're working with acrylics, it just makes it blend a lot easier, and I'll touch up on that in another segment."
