I've been working on this mini for a friend. She wanted the cape to transition from dark to lighter blue. I decided to start dark and use glaze medium with lighter tones to work up.
However, the layers feel patchy (there was a bit of moisture rejection from the mini when i started glazing, not sure why). Any suggestions or tips to get a better effect? The last thing i tried, and i feel like it helped to unify, was to glaze an intermediate tone over everything just to draw it together more.
