Hi all,

thank you for following this thread.
I like to see your mood with these paintings.

Pai, how do you do to mix the colors ? when I use the knife, It's not as smooth as your paintings... do you use a lot of diluant ?

I don't know if this is abstract but it's something.

Hi Cannelle, mostly I will select the same range of color (i think call same scale) and use the edge palette knife with very low pressure and then mostly blend with soft palette knife.

There are lots of tutorials in this Tips and Tricks. Here are just few ones that related to blending. You may want to try out. Hope it helps.
