But once you can make a little progress momentum builds and before you know it you're getting somewhere!

I'm working with a very dated and uncertain recollection of the whole process so I'm just glad that I stuck with it. The wash and re-highlight were real low points.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-88358903625266498242013-04-05T06:13:58.655-07:002013-04-05T06:13:58.655-07:00Thanks Prufrock.

But I muddled through and finished it and that's what I'm most proud of, that I can call it done.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-77109405509882849032013-04-05T06:12:11.536-07:002013-04-05T06:12:11.536-07:00Thanks very much Ron.

I've always been vary of this process, but at the same time I've seen some stunning results and it certainly speeds the whole thing up. The final wash really nailed him, with all the hard work you put in earlier coming to the fore.

It usually takes me half the way through a unit before I get the washes and dry brushes down pat (and even that could be debated!).

So if I use it again it will be diluted for sure. This may be the impetus I need to mix up my own wash from ink and medium.
