2. Make sure the brush used for blending is dry or has minimal oil, medium or turps in it.
3. Clean the blending brush between blends.
I hope this will help you. 
Good luck. |
I appreciate your suggestions so much, Josef! Many thanks. I will run out and buy a fan sable and some nylon brushes. When you say the brush needs to be dry, yet the paint lean, I'm a bit lost. Right now my surface is still semi-wet (yesterday tacky). Do I have to wait until it's dry to do more blending? How can the paint be lean yet have minimal turps or medium in it???
