How to Add Highlights to an Airbrushed Wood Grain Painting

Hi this is Aaron I'm back on behalf of Expert Village. Now we are going to do a little bit of white highlighting on the edge of this tape line just so it would stimulate 45 degree angle in the cut wood like they would do in real life usually. What I'm going to do is stay close to the taped edge that way it highlights that the brightest and pace on back in a normal coat or whatever it goes towards the other edge. You just kind of highlight the edge where what is supposedly be meeting the face of the wood. You don't want the whole piece white. It is kind of hard to tell how much white that you got when you got white piece of masking tape on there so we are going to peel a little of the edge of there to see if we got a good enough contrast. I don't know what do you think. That is good enough for me for now stay tune for our next segment where we peel this off, we are going to put a little of precleaner on this thing and make it look wet and compare to the product we are trying to stimulate and see how close we are stay tune.
