Mid Review: Have you met your target from last lesson? I need to use less water in my paint mixture. I need to use less powder paint in my paint mixture. I need to use less paint and water on my brush to paint carefully up to the edge of the line. I need to use the large brush for large areas and the tip of the small paint brush for the details. I need to paint smoothly by painting in one neat direction. I should try to experiment with my colour more by mixing my own colours. I need to mix my skin tone more accurately. I need to position my facial features more accurately.
