I try to answer some of your questions about specific techniques and applications.
In part 1, we cover mixing acrylic paints for silkspan saills (3:17) and couple of weathering techniques for ship's hulls (15:14).
Part 2 will deal with rigging line types and and coloring them to look more like real rope and We'll take a look at detailing sails, both furled and unfurled. That will appear shortly.
