1.
Adding Glazes
::
I was told
to use glazes when Color-Meshing with The Woolie. Is this a good idea?
::
Using glazes
isn't recommended because the glaze thins out the paint and makes
the basecoat visible. If you plan on using glazes do it after
the Color-Meshing process dries.
2.
Muddy Colors
::
When I am
doing the Color-Meshing technique all the colors seem to blend back
down into one color. Why does this happen?
::
Make sure
you choose your paint colors 3-5 shades apart. If you want to add
accent colors stay on the same level as your darkest shade.
::
Be careful
not to overblend with either the brush or The Woolie.
3.
Difficulty
Blending
::
When I am
doing the Color-Meshing technique, blending the colors is difficult
and the colors don't mesh together?
::
Make sure
you are adding enough paint. When applying paint with the brush, be
sure that the paint drips.
4.
Touching-Up
::
I am not
pleased with part of my wall. Do I have to repaint the entire wall?
::
No, when
the paint is dry, just use the same Color-Meshing technique or stippling
technique. Add all the colors to your wall, mesh them together and
feather out the edges.
5.
Too Much
Paint
::
The Woolie
is saturated with paint. Should I take it and wash it periodically?
::
No, take
the Woolie to a portion of the wall that isn't painted yet and run
it down the wall to remove excess paint. You will Color-Mesh over
it and it won't show.

Cleaning
the Tools
::
How do I
wash The Woolie?
::
Place The
Woolie under warm water and run your fingers through the sheep skin.
Never use soap. The sheep skin has natural lanolin. Natural
Lanolin enables The Woolie to be used again and again without becoming
stiff or brittle. Next, remove all excess water with a cloth or paper
towel. Use your fingers to fluff up The Woolie.
