Good idea to print out d subjects u wanna paint...U would hav a complete book when you ar done with all d subjects....hehehehe.
The wash u mentioned is just a basecoat...much like using watercolour.....it is applied in layers n gradually enhanced. The basecolour is always closest to the natural colour of the subject.
In order to paint realistic animals... i always basecoat my rocks WHITE..n progress from there by practising on my shades and highlights so it has form. This is what makes my animals look alive...
another tip sweety....take a photo of ur completed rock before varnishing....that way it wont glare.
If however u need to use d flash in the camera...get a piece of tissue paper n cover the flash lens...that way d glare in ur rocks will lessen if u need to take photo indoors.
i would love to see more of your rock masterpieces....heheheheh...n i only use 4 brushes to paint...

I love your book! I have to get my printer fixed now so I can print parts off to work on my projects since I don't work near the computer. Hailey "fixed" the printer. I still have to figure out the wash. But there are alot of techniques in there that are so helpful! I hope to show you improvement on my work very soon. And get more than the 3 brushes I use right now.
