Get Spectacular Results with these 10 Tips and Tricks
1. Spread the paint evenly and do not leave an area half painted, this way you will avoid that the limits can be poorly delineated. Fixing it later is usually much more difficult. That is, if you start a zone, it is best to finish it.
2. No put one paint layer too thick If you don't want the surface to be uneven and cracks open when the paint dries. In addition, you will prevent the paint on the brush from drying out earlier, achieving a much more regular and controllable stroke.
3. If more paint is needed to make the color even, wait for the first coat to dry to give it other coats of paint.
4. Clean the brush often with water and dry it a little with kitchen paper, just to remove excess water. When cleaning the brush, do not press it hard into the bottom of the container, the ideal way to do this is dab the edge of the container.
5. Always use at least two containers with water, one for a quick wash and one for a good rinse. This will prevent paint from entering the brush cap and you will extend its useful life.
6. In order for the painting to acquire a greater vividness and we can cover the pre-printed numbers and lines on the canvas, it is recommended review some areas and colors applying another coat of paint once the picture has been completely painted.
7. The accidental paint splashes they can be easily removed once the paint has dried, either by scraping them off with a toothpick or hiding them with a brush after a couple of days.
8. We recommend that you apply a coat of varnish to the painting once you finish it for preserve the brightness and intensity of the paint, thus avoiding discoloration and premature wear when exposed to light.

Esta tècnica parece buena para difuminar los límites. Yo habia pintado algun cuadro pero efectivamente el hecho de ver los limites no daba un aspecto real al cuadro. Hay má tècnicas que ayuden a este efecto? Hay algun libro que pueda leer para conseguir resultados mejores? Muchas gràcias
