And then are you filling in the empty spaces with the brown or going over the white painted lines with it?

@wishuponamural I'm not sure I understand the exact question but, I am both filling in the empty spaces and going over the white lines. You need to under paint with white while using acrylic or you will not get the 'true' color you are trying to paint with. Hope that helps

[dogchristopher]

with acrylic paints you get the 'true' color only when painting over white. If you paint over other colors they may show through, so it is always good to lay down some white to get the best color. Hope that explains it.

isn't it annoying when you can see the paint strokes? cant you use a paint brush that's a bigger size?

[wishuponamural]

Are you painting with white over the pencil lines?

I like atching you paint, very cool but I wonder why you aren't holding the palette so you don't have to move away from the painting so much with all the bending over too.

I like watching you paint, but I wish you would explain more. Why did you do the white before the brown? What does that do?
