So now I want to work on adding color to these three elements. With my number four brush, I'm just going to wet all three of them. I'm going to wet the inside of this jar, as well as the lip, wet the strainer in entirety. And I'll wet the outside of the timer here. So I'll leave the inner circle dry, but I'm just going to wet the outside. gonna mix very light pale blue.
So I'll take my civilian blue again, and just a little bit of gray, a little darker black actually, to make it just toned down a little bit. And when I'm using a color such as black, I pull a little color to the side. So I don't have too much on my brush when I want to mix my color. Dry my brush and sharpen it to a point and then I'm going to pick up this color and I'll start With this timer here, I'm just going to go around the perimeter. It's a nice subtle color. Because we just wet it, the color will bleed nicely.
Kind of trying to carve out the shape here on our first layer. I'll go and rinse my brush, just blend out any edges. It doesn't have to cover the entire piece here. I'll do the same thing with the bottle. I'm looking for a very light color. If I have too much color, I'll go in there and tone it down.
So it's a little darker for what I wanted. I'll finish my perimeter is whatever's on my brush. dip my brush and water to clean it a little. And then just blend that color out. And that will dry a little lighter. For my strainer, I want it to be more gray than loo.
So I'll take a little of the blue here and pick up a little more of that black that we mixed that we cleaned off our brush. And I'm just going to deposit the layer right on that strainer. Now because I wanted to tie it in with the tequila bottle here that has blue and purple, I'm going to rinse my brush, take a little of the purple and just drop it in very subtly in spots. And I'm going to let this layer completely dry.
