A student cannot make it garish, which is oddly freeing - the work comes out looking considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can take colour back off.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lift it while wet with a clean brush, or use an eraser on dry work to pull soft highlights out. That changes how the medium is taught: it stops being a one-way commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly saturated pigment\u003c\/strong\u003e, so muted does not mean weak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReusable tin\u003c\/strong\u003e that closes and travels.
