    Video Transcript

    "OK, we're going to soften both sides of this, so that the hard edges won't be as hard as they were originally. And then, it's bled out into the water, that I put there originally, so, we'll soften that. We'll add some water down here, and here. So, we're going to put these areas in here. Just a light wash of the rose. Put that brush down, and then we're going to soften up this area here, and around here. We're going to use the bigger brush to soften up the hard edges on this. Maybe even break it in places."
