50 practical tips for painting fabrics and materials

In this e-book I will take you through fifty practical tips for painting fabrics and materials. We start with the basics: shine, reflections, highlights, transparency and the difference between hard and soft edges. Then we explore step by step silver and other metals, glass and transparent materials, water and water droplets, velvet, wool, denim, cotton, lace, pearls, wood and various types of plastic.

For each topic we first look at the most important properties. What makes wool different from velvet? Why does polished silver require sharper contrasts than dull metal? How do you prevent transparent glass from looking like a gray painted object? Why does a highlight sometimes appear bright white, when in reality it contains color?
