Technique Tuesday: Q-Tip Hack

It’s been a while since I published a “Technique Tuesday” post. It occurred to me today that I could share a cheap tool I use all the time in the studio-the humble Q-Tip. I have found over the years that this a simple, yet versatile tool for painters. I use it to erase areas that I would rather not have painted over, and it also helps make the softest “lost edges”.

I bought this cute, little travel pack of Q-Tips at my local Target in the travel toiletries area. I think i spent a dollar on it? Worth every penny to me.

Have you tried adding Q-Tips to your painting technique? Give it a try and let me know here how you like it!
