ANGELA FRACASSO: Hi, this is Angela from ExpertVillage.com. And in the last segment, we've talked about
doing the shadows, and I'm just going to talk a little bit about how I mixed the paint with
the shadows. I'm going to usually have my base color that I have on here. This is just
a Liquidex yellow so it's a heavy-bodied paint. I like to use heavy-bodied paint in my smaller
areas, and it helps to kinda just keep its hold on the plate. And then I just put a darker
brown on there, like a really dark brown. You can use like a burnt sienna or whatever,
and I just put a little bit of brown here and then I kinda have my medium in here. So
I mix it over here so I have kinda my medium shadow and then I have my darker shadow on
this end. And as I'm painting, I usually don't change my brush for the color. I just kinda
wipe it on my plate and then I go through it. So it doesn't need to be a completely
cleaned brush every time you do a shadow or a highlight. I also have a white on the same
plate. So you just take your shadow and just paint it onto the vehicle here. It's actually
pretty simple.
