I can say that you are right, it does get easier with practice. In addition, along the way you will learn new techniques as you practice. Let your inquisitiveness drive you. I like the idea of following a multi-step design process. I have changed my design sketch ideas several times, and I am still not satisfied. I am trying to create the “feel” of the Holocaust without being too dark. Any suggestions? Laura,

I ended up using a variety of tones of one color (three brownish yellows, and two greens for the weeds, as an example) and apply it very lightly with the opacity turned down and the flow rate fairly high.
