• Always sweep your brush, and don't stab or color with it (sweeping means to pick it up at the end of each stroke)

• Really think about how much paint you have on your brush. If you have too much paint it will be sloppy/ messy.  Too little paint and you get dry brush. 

• Apply multiple coats if your first coat is too transparent

• Please do try out each color you make, you may even do this on a scrap paper

• CLEAN YOUR BRUSH, and dry it off before going back for paint

• Try and make a little more of your color than you think you need
