Tip 6 I speak about how with lighter coloured dogs like yellow Labradors I will usually work in the opposite from light to dark HOWEVER with acrylics we don&#8217;t have to worry about filling the tooth of the paper or &#8216;muddying up&#8217; the colours. So with this medium you can continue to layer even from a very dark layer. As long as the paint is dry we can add whatever number of layer we wish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">My aim is to create more YouTube videos like this :).
