To get these holidays, I "dance" or mop my brush diagonally, vertically, and horizontally. You have to practice this to make it purposeful.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-83591011916574103142010-06-17T15:31:27.088-07:002010-06-17T15:31:27.088-07:00Autuumn, Thanks.
