<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 120621, member: 37&quot;]Thanks for posting that.&nbsp; I was somewhat surprised to see that she was working in such large strokes.&nbsp; However, this is a very large painting with broad brushstrokes anyway.&nbsp; One tries to follow the brushstrokes in the painting as you clean so it makes sense.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Q-tip (cotton swab) is the preferred method of cleaning.&nbsp; I see that in the above video, she made her own large ones.&nbsp; This was again in keeping with the large size of the task at hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Have heard of using saliva but think the preferred method is distilled water if using water at all. </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>In cleaning the above spot on my painting, I went through 8-10 Q-tips, using both ends before discarding. The clean spot is about 4&quot; long and 3&quot; tall at the left.&nbsp; It is about 2&quot; tall at the right.&nbsp; I worked on this area in 4 sections and then went back and evened things out.&nbsp; You can see how I followed the contour of the cloud at right and mountain below.&nbsp; I was working right to left when I stopped.&nbsp; There is still more work to do before even this area is done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
