An Easy Way to Paint Lace

A tip to add to your figure painting knowledge

By , About.com Guide

I've found an easy way to paint lace on a dress. First I paint a white stripe, then I take an actual piece of lace or a lacy paper-napkin (like you'd buy in a supermarket to put under a an elegant cake) and stick this lightly on the white strip. Then I use it as a stencil, dabbing on a little of the dress color. The result: impressive lace on a dress. It's good for decorating craft work as well.
