  3. Stippling • Mix a variety of skin tones first • Using a dabbing motion, apply a medium colour to the entire area • Dabbing overtop of this first layer, add some darker tones, allowing the colours to mix on the page • Continue building more layers using some highlight tones and always allowing the various shades to mix together as they are stippled.

  4. Blending • Again, work with your various skin tones already mixed • Using the same brush, apply the colours simultaneously and overlap your brushstrokes in both areas to ensure that the colours blend seamlessly together

  5. Scumbling • Begin by laying flat colour as a base (use darker shades in the shadow areas and lighter shades on the highlight areas • After the flat colour has dried, use a dry brush with a small amount of paint to scumble (use a circular motion to force the paint onto the surface) • It is very important that the scumbling produces a broken effect so the original layers show through

  6. Mixed Media • Again, begin by laying down the flat colour shades on the various areas. • After it has dried, experiment with different media to layer overtop and create the various levels of shading • Possible media include chalk pastel, water soluble pencils, conte, charcoal and ink (for a more abstract effect)

  7. Glazing • Requires you to water down the paint (or add acrylic medium to your paint) so it becomes translucent • Then, working in thin layers (going from light to dark), gradually build up layers of colour, allowing the previous layers to show through

  8. Sgraffito • Begin with your darkest shadow colours and paint the entire area in this shade first. • Allow to dry, and then paint over top using whatever technique you prefer • While the top layer is still wet, use a pointed tool to scratch into and remove some of the top layer, allowing the darker shades to show through.

  9. Wet-in-Wet • Depending on the desired result, this technique can be done by wetting the paper first or leaving it dry • Using paint that is slightly watered down, apply the colours quickly, allowing them to bleed together to blend naturally • If the paper is not wet to start, you will achieve a similar effect to the blending technique

  10. Impasto • This technique is done by using a very thick application of paint, and using a palette knife to apply the paint • Mix the colours separately, and allow them to blend on the page as you apply the paint.
