As I said above, often it doesn't matter too much if your bands of colour aren't very precisely painted, because they'll just merge into each other anyway and the joins won't show very much!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-29792923287032783672016-06-27T20:56:33.019+01:002016-06-27T20:56:33.019+01:00I'm sure that most experienced painters will h...I'm sure that most experienced painters will have seen & used something like this already, but I do indeed hope that the article might be useful for others.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-32479106727286875212016-06-27T20:55:18.101+01:002016-06-27T20:55:18.101+01:00It's not really very difficult, Cedric.

If anything, you don't need to be as careful because a slight mistake will just blend into the next band of colour and won't be very visible!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-77744586491017133862016-06-27T20:44:44.347+01:002016-06-27T20:44:44.347+01:00Thanks, Bryan.
