From start to finish.

Painting the zeppelin.

White over black.

White over black complete.

Paper towel over wet paint.

Roller.

Texture. Sort of okay.

Lift paper towel.

Texture of fabric for zeppelin perfect.

Most of the painting is blocked in, and I can start working on details. I want to create a texture for the skin of the zeppelin. I first paint the zeppelin black. Over this I paint white gouache. While the gouache is still wet I place a piece of paper towel over the surface. I gently roll over the paper towel, and this will lift some of the paint and create a texture. If it doesn’t work the first time I try again. The texture of the paper towel  creates a nice effect that I can use for the skin of the zeppelin. Details will be added over this to create the finished zeppelin.
