Classroom Tips :
TIP Change line weight by varying pressure on Sofft Tools . Also manipulate sponges & use edges for different size marks .
4Demonstrate how to lift color - by swiping pan surface with sponge 1-2 times . Show students that they should not dig or use pressure when lifting color as that creates unnecessary dust .
4Mix colors like paint either on working surface or pan surface Note : traditional color mixing rules apply , e . g . don ’ t overblend to avoid “ mud ”.
4Clean Sofft Tools between colors by wiping gently on a dry paper ( kitchen ) towel .
4Clean pan surfaces by gently wiping away any color contamination with a clean Sofft sponge or paper towel .
4Color layers can be isolated with workable ( spray ) fixative .
4Experiment with different surfaces - on smoother surfaces the color lays down in more transparent layers . On textured surfaces the color is more intense as the tooth “ grabs ” more color .
