ANGELA FRACASSO: Hi, I'm Angela from ExpertVillage.com. And in this segment about the children's mural that we're doing, I'm just mixing a little bit of paint. I just thought I would show you a little bit about how we're doing it. I'm painting in these rims and so I wanted to get a good gray plus I wanted some more highlight and shadow for my tires. I just need to find some white. I thought I have some. Here we go. And this is just a heavy-bodied paint. It just depends on whether you like to use the thicker paints or the thinner paints. I still use craft paints sometimes for some of my highlights. You just gotta make sure that you seal your paint in when you use craft paints. I'll just take a little bit of white and you need just a tiny bit of black. And I'm just going to come over here. Now, I don't want white-white but I do want a lighter gray so I can kinda come in here and do the highlight on the rim. And when you're putting the paint on, you just kinda work with it as you're putting it on, and you can blend your plate up as you go, too.
