"ANGELA FRACASSO: Hi, I'm Angela at ExpertVillage.com. And in this segment, I'm just kind of touching on some of the very last details. We're almost done with this back hoe. It is a child's mural so it doesn't have to be perfect. We're just kinda doing little touches to make it look like it's a little bit more real, a little bit more 3-D. It's really important to do a shadow underneath it, of course. And just wherever you feel like it needs to have more stuff. You can--and it starts to come alive, right before your eyes. I'm just going to darken some of the areas that I feel like aren't quite dark enough. You don't need to use a black-black. You can always mix your black with a little bit of brown or just go darker of a color you're already working on. And I do mess up a lot so some--that's what nice about paint: you mess up; you just go right over it with more paint. And I just have to wait till it drys a little bit."
