Clumsy Painter White and Red

[Knikki]

I am currently (and taking me ages) painting a British Napoleonic Grenadier.

You know white belts and trousers with red jacket.

Now at the moment I am still back in the learning phase and being clumsy have got red paint on the white ares where I shouldn't

So any one any tips on how to hide the red blobs on the white areas without having to stip all the paint off and start again?

Using a mixture of red oils with white acrylics, if thats any help.

Hi Nick, I usually dampen a clean brush with spirit and remove as much of the oil as possible. This will leave a faint stain on the white which you can then go over with white acrylic again. Make sure you give the spirit time to dry tho mate, an hour should do nicely.

Cheers
