I finished it off to my satisfaction in a second session. I did this a day or two after the initial paint had dried. Before picking up my brush again, I went over the surface with my painting knife and scraped down any paint ridges that could get in the way of the form when the painting was complete. I used filbert bristle brushes mostly, always the biggest sizes possible. I paint with a very light touch. Remember, if you apply the paint with a light touch, you can paint wet over wet without turning the surface into a muddy road. If you paint with a heavy hand, you are digging paint up and either moving it or removing it.
