You get more depth when using the transparent or semi-transparent mixtures, especially in the beginning of the work. If you check your paint manufacturers specifications, it lists each colors' type. White is the most opaque because of the titanium dioxide. <br /><br />It's one thing to know, but another to put into practice! I just need to slow down and try to begin with my brain instead of just my eyes.Nancy L.
