They can be lifted while still wet... just not as easy once dry but magic sponge will do the trick even woth very staining colours. I use the softening off technique a lot and don't have a problem as I am usually working when the paint is wet and that is the secret to softening edges... soften more than you want while the paint is wet, eave to dry then bring them back with small areas of detail.Judith Farnworth Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466625674796659185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-14514930012151129652017-03-30T08:27:19.423-07:002017-03-30T08:27:19.423-07:00This is a very helpful blog...thank you for that! ...This is a very helpful blog...thank you for that! I do have a question though, if you don't mind. I prefer paints that are easy to "lift off" "soften off", what wording or terms eg: staining,transparent do I look for when ordering. Doesn't staining mean just that, that its hard to remove or lift? So confusing..I would just like to know which words to look for..lol.

I'm starting to experiment more with the colours I don't use so often rather than sticking to those I do, the 30 paintings in 30 days will hopefully give me the opportunity to do that more. I agree with what you say about whether people are colourists or tonalists, although I think a tonal painting works whatever the colour but I don't think a painting full of colour would work without the use of tone. I'd say I was more a tonal painter at the moment as I feel I understand tone more than colour. It's probably best to learn about tone first then you can go to town on colour if you want to, does that make sense, so maybe that's the next step for me, is to experiment with colour, but I'd probably still stick to a limited palette within each painting!Sharon Whitleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403989834480218330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-57090966668151983062013-08-26T14:48:11.683-07:002013-08-26T14:48:11.683-07:00I have just read your blog interesting and insight...I have just read your blog interesting and insightful and thought provoking as usual. I think that what ever you are doing right now is working very well for you and your work. I guess sometimes limited palette works wonders, because thats what I use as I get swamped with too many to choose from. Bit like a box of chocolates when you can only pick one or two, when you really want one of each lol, and then sometimes colour just screams out and says pick me pick me. I think we all have a love affair with certain colours and combinations and they become like old friends your go to colours. so long as you just keep on doing what you are doing that should make us all happy - Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172256687490196324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-1188394138820309662013-08-23T14:04:36.284-07:002013-08-23T14:04:36.284-07:00I'm someone who many colors used in quite a di...I'm someone who many colors used in quite a different way but also painting with aqua paint as you guys but I find it very nice hugs DanielleDanielle v/d Horsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181597430774925549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-10070129860048850742013-08-23T00:18:49.242-07:002013-08-23T00:18:49.242-07:00Very interesting article.

But I also have my restricted travel palette and am quite happy using those colours too. But it is practice and playing with colour that is fun, when some think it is boring. So can I join you as a colour flirt.
