I hate going back over before baking and picking LINT/FUZZIES off…
Just got done picking them off August
GRRRR…no matter HOW careful I am…
I can always find them…are they in the air??..my sponges???..I lay everything on clean paper towels…
I can only see bigger ones with my eyes (but that’s not saying much…i have to paint using a magnifier)…so I use my 10x lighted magnifier to try to get them all…
Then …I get obsessed…I feel like a mama monkey picking nits off her baby
I don’t do reborns but I hate, hate, hate setting eyes. On anything, they just never seem to work easily. They take an age to get even and symmetrical and by the time they are, I’ve looked at them for so long they then don’t look right . Like when you look at a word repeatedly and it starts to look really weird .
Oh man. This. It took me so many tries to get the eyes in a couple of my WIP’s the other day haha. They really should offer pre-inserted eyed kits cuz I’d be interested!
You don’t paint with Genesis? I don’t worry about lint or fuzz. I just paint away. Before the next layer I just kind of bush my hand over the piece and then carry on. I don’t find anything sticks in the paint at all.
Same! I great artist i learn from said dont worry about lint when doing heat set. And sure enough i bake fuzzies and all and once dry it just wipes right off. It was for that reason alone i switched from airdry. Sooooo sticky that process
Haven’t tried those. What I have found the difference is, is that with the air dry the lint mixes in with the paint and it cures stuck in there. But with the genesis it’s so thin it just sits on top and once the paint is cured, it’s not stuck or attached and it just wipes right off no need to pick anything.
