Tips to Avoiding Wash or Coffee Rings/Tide Marks:
As paint dries, the edges of a painted area dry first. As they dry, they pull paint from the center of the little puddle applied.

Because the edges keep pulling paint from the center as they dry, more and more pigment draws to the edges, where it dries. This leaves a ring of paint, where the edges are darker than the center of the area where we applied paint.

We can avoid rings in the following ways:

  • Apply less Paint to the Brush: The shallower the puddle of paint, the less there is to draw to the edges as it dries.
  • Use a Wash Mixture which varies very little from the previous wash: This way, if a ring forms, its color is close enough to the previous color that the ring is much les noticable.
  • Apply Diluted Paint: With less pigment in the paint puddle, less can accumulate at the edges to form a ring.
  • Use a thinner to release surface tension.

Once you have mastered the process of wet blending, you will be ready for advanced techniques like Non Metalic Metal (NMM), which you won’t be able to master without it.
