Step 4Translucent brush strokes
Sometimes you want a faint line or color on your shirt without having to add a bunch of white.
Dilute your chosen color (already mixed with textile medium) with a lot of water. Touch the brush to the paper towel to blot excess water from it.
Start moving the brush BEFORE you touch it to the shirt. Very lightly skim the surface of the shirt with the bristles, moving them closer to the shirt as you lay faint color down. Usually I do this with a back and forth motion, as if I'm lightly coloring in an area with the side of a piece of chalk.
Do not press the bristles firmly against the shirt for this; the color will bleed.
