Ok, for the background we're going to do a complete wet and wet which means I have to put it in pretty quick. If you have larger brushes use them. I'm going to use a one inch brush, but you just have to be fast if you're using smaller brushes. So you can do a wet and wet with color, with paint, or just with clear water. I'm going to cover all the area that's the background in the case of this particular subject. Once we've got the water down in all the areas, and a good way to check is to look at it at an angle so that you can see the shininess of it so in the, the water is indeed there. The water dries very quickly so what we're going to have to do is start putting in color while it's wet and wet. We could add water too at the same time.
