Step 10 – Rendering the Secondary Center Panel

A mask was cut and applied to the area to be airbrushed. A light blue glaze was airbrushed into the open striped areas. The striped portion of the mask was removed and the same blue glaze was airbrushed over the entire area. (The stripes receiving more coats of glaze appear darker although the glaze color remained the same.)
