Windowcolor
Tips
Hmm...Where should I begin?
There are so many useful windowcolor tips.
Let's start at the very beginning!
Storage
- Keep
your
windowcolor paints upside down. In
this way the bottles that contain only a little paint will be
immediately ready to use.
Cleaning
- It's very easy to
smear the painting, so always have some handkerchief
at hand, to clean yourself and the table.
- Always clean immediately the windowcolor paint (and contour) stains,
because after drying, you can't remove the
stains.
Applying
- Apply your motif only to room temperature surfaces, if you don't, then
your motif will either melt or will become too dry and you can't
remove it again.
Marble effect
- Using a pin, cocktail stick or any long and thin object you can make
marble effects. Just mix two or more colors with a pin. If you mix them
patiently, you'll get new colors.
- For
example, now I have no orange paint, so I always mix a red and a yellow
paint to get orange. So, if I need orange to a picture, I just
mix some yellow and red on the same transparent film, and put the
orange to the motif with a spatula or with a thicker pin.
- If
I need lighter orange, then I add more yellow. If I need darker
orange, I add more red. In this way you can make lots of shades of
color.
IMPORTANT: Mix enough paint, because it's almost impossible to
make the
same color twice.
