Last but not least, we've got your toothbrush. That's right. They're not just for your teeth anymore. This is primarily used for splattering and I don't do a whole lot of this in mural painting because it is messy. But you just dip it in the paint, and then using usually your thumb or you can even use another brush if you don't want to get your hands dirty. And you control how fine or how thick the spray is by how much water you use. Notice when I add water, the spray gets a little bit thicker. And if you had a lot, you can get some really nice splatters. This is great for creating textures in stone, sand even some weaves of fabric. If you're painting--again, if you mask, you can create shaded effects. So then we have a line with spray on the other side there. Again, experiment, experiment, experiment.
