In Nature all things as we look at then are surrounded by an envelope or atmosphere which tends to soften and tone down; this effect we must try to imitate as much as possible.
For example, where the dark hair in a portrait is seen against a light background do not allow it to form a hard, dark outline, but soften the edge by a lighter touch of grayer quality, which will unite the two.
This should not be carried to excess, however, as at times a sharp, dark accent is very valuable in the right place.
Use for the small details and finishing touches flat pointed sables, Nos.5 and 9, or where the bristle is needed select the smaller sizes.
