"Now, we're going to work on the nose. What I want to do is soften the edge. That is not a clean dry brush, so I'm going to clean it off here. But, a small brush doesn't have much paint so it cleans very quickly. So, the inside edge of the nose needs to be softened. And, to make it look more like her, the nose bulges out right here a little bit. We'll have to come back with some white in order to soften this. So, painting a person is easier than painting a person to look like the person. That takes extra tweaking and extra time to actually make it look like the person that you're painting. Because, you've got to look at all the different features and adjust the painting accordingly."
