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.
