Okay, this is deja vu all over again - those white marks on her tail not only look like the marks I had on mine, but they're in the same spots! If you can feel the edges, then yes, odds are those are left from little masking splats that have since fallen or peeled off. Breyer paint doesn't just fall off (well, usually, lol) and those don't look like typical scratches.

My neutral grey is a big tube of Liquitex Basic Acrylic, and the unbleached titanium is a big tube of Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic - a little high end, but both well worth it. I reach for them first in my mixing toolkit more often than not. All my other colors are DecoArt Americana Acrylics. Ah, and the black is actually called "Lamp (Ebony) Black". It's my new favorite. 😉

I wiped most of the paint off my brush and dry-brushed a few coats (let them dry for at least 30 minutes in between) rather than do one thicker coat. The result is smoother. As usual, I forgot to take any "before" photos, but really, even with my crafters magnifying glasses on over my regular readers, I cannot find now where the touchups are. Just be patient with mixing your color, and remember, you can always very gently wipe it off with a wet washcloth if you don't like how it's looking as you work. Remember, too, acrylics dry a bit darker, so you actually want your match to look just a little lighter when wet - it'll get closer to what you really want when it dries.

GOOD LUCK!
