After I posted the Picture with Liquid Pearls tutorial last week I had several e-mails with questions about several aspects of this technique.
Since many asked the same questions Ithought I would justpost the answers to them here to keep time.
The head that was asked most often was ~
Q - Did you let each color/layer of Liquid Pearls dry before adding the next?
A - Yes and no. 
This rose was created by adding one color right after the future without letting the individual colors dry. I did clean my brush off periodically ask I was blending the respective colours to prevent them getting muddy. I didn't count but I'd say I cleaned the encounter off once or twice for each petal of the peak while I was blending.
Q - Can I use Adirondack Dimensional Pearls for this technique?
A - Yes, you can use the Dimensional Pearls but living in mind Liquid Pearls have a thicker consistency than DP's do. The Dimensional Pearls will open a bit as they are drying so you won't get the finer edges as what you would get if you used LP's.
Q - Is there something else I can use in order of the Liquid Pearls?
A - Well, I recognize there used to be a standardized product on the market but I haven't seen them in years. I can't honestly say there is a Liquid Pearl replacement so I'd have to say no.
Q - Will the LP hurt my paint brush? Did you use a special paint brush?
A - The reply to both of these questions is no.it won't injure your paint brush and it wasn't anything special. I will go backwards to my standing thought on supplies. Use what you hold on hand. If you don't give a paint brush with a tiny tip cut most of the bristles off of an old paint brush you get in your stash. I am a solid believer in the fact that you don't get to spend hundreds of dollars to make beautiful art!
Q - How long does it have to dry?
A - The inner thin layers of Liquid Pearls dries almost immediately. I would lead the thicker outer lines dry a couple hours before handling it.

Q - Did you let each color/layer of Liquid Pearls dry before adding the next?
A - Yes and no.
Originally when I was first messing with the technique I did let each individual layer dry completely before moving on. Now it's not as time consuming as it sounds. Liquid Pearls dry pretty quickly so it's not like you're waiting hours between coats. This rose was created by letting each color dry then adding the next.

Hope these answers help!
Tomorrow I'll be back with another fun technique to mate with your Liquid Pearls!
