two paints
Tap the colour at the bottom right to switch.
- mix
- goes into the colour already there, as real paint does · light shows over dark
- layer
- lies over what is there, like tinted glass · it only darkens, and white does nothing
subject and background
Every page knows its subjects from the open space around them. A stroke belongs to wherever it starts.
- on a subject
- a fine brush that follows the shape and stops at its lines · keep pushing to cross into the next · a mix mostly covers
- in the background
- a broad, soft wash that thins as it travels and stops at the subjects, so sweep right up to them · a mix blends half and half
