Shelac vs Polyurethane:
• Shelac: Used to produce a shine.
• Polyurethane: Hard plastic coating to prevent damage to paint.
Paint Types:• Latex: water based,
inexpensive.• Dry Pigment: mixed with glue
or water- when dry, will not flake.
• Scene Paint: Pre-mixed Dry Pigment paint, will not absorb light.
Crosshatching:• Painting in
an X pattern for a full, even finish. Good to use when base-coating a new flat.
Dry Brushing:Taking excess
paint out of the
brush to give a
streaky, grainy
appearance for wood-
graining and other textures.
