By the way, what type of paint are you using? Oil-based?I use "normal"/ acrylic paints from GAMES WORKSHOP or VALLEJO.
I use artist's acrylic-based paints but so far have only thinned the paint with water, which has some limitations (e.g., flow control). I've wondered if it would be worthwhile to get some retardant (to slow drying) and a thinner that allows easier flow control of the paint. So maybe you've inspired me to do that.
Pity that something can't be done for aging eyes though.
The Key to paint without limitations is take the water out of your brush after you tinned the paint with water. Take a facial tissue (correct word???) and graze the brush until the water is gone!
Your facial tissue should look like the biggest band after grazing your brush. I hope you understand. With that paint on your brush you will get smoooooth blendings.
For painting detail you need a smaller band on you facial tissue. It is not easy to explain, showing would be much more helpful. Very helpful is also a so called "wetpalet" which keeps your paints alway wet over weeks!!
Did i answer your questions?
WOW....
