And now you can blend!

This may take some practice, and sometimes you need to use a few more darker shades, but the steps are the same. Simply repeat step 3 as many times as you wish.

This also works with blending two different colors together. Only when you apply step 6, do Not go beyond the blending area. And for step one, do not cross into the area of the 2nd color.
