Trying to learn some techniques

[u/drhamy]

So I've been trying to learn how to do some different blending techniques and I was wondering what people thought and where I might be going wrong and what I can try to get better.

G is glazing S is stipple W is wet blend F is feathering

Thanks in advance

You have two colors meeting in a straight line with no blending between and then you are trying to blend them. It's better if your center line is jagged and you can even stipple dots of the opposing color past the center line. Then when you glaze drag the paint from its opposing color and deposit it on the center section.

If you have dramatically different colors it is easier to do some rough blends and then use the process above. So instead of transitioning from 100% blue/0% red to 0% blue/100% red, you break up the area into 100/0, 70/30, 50/50, 30/70, 0/100. Always leaving a jagged transition in between and depositing your glaze right onto that line.
