Hour 9. Moving Paint

What You'll Learn in This Hour:

• Smudges

• Focus Tools

• The Toning Tools

Did you ever wonder why artists always have those paint-soaked rags lying around, and why they always have paint on their hands, under their fingernails, and all over their clothes? It's because you don't just paint with a brush; you sometimes paint with your finger, or with a piece of cloth, or with your elbow or some other tool that will help you blend the paint or lighten or darken it just a little bit. In this hour, you will learn the tricks that painters and darkroom technicians have been using ever since their respective art forms were invented.
