In the illustration Curr’s trousersand waistcoat are definitely striped, tastefully in darkbrown over light brown. Stripes like these are never easy,the best way is to paint the trousers in the solid under-colour shading up from dark to light as normal, then paintin the stripes, starting in the most visible places andworking around the leg to the inside leg. Don’t worry ifthey don’t quite work all the way around as again, like theface, you can’t see all around the leg all at once. In thiscase the stripes are done in the shade colour of thetrousers. Try to paint a stripe all in one brush stroke, in aconfident single brush stroke, if you need to break do it ata change of direction or fold or crease. I corrected anymistakes (and there were a few) in my stripes with thehighlight colour of the trousers.1.AP-WP1101 - Matt Black mixed with AP-WP1120 -Monster Brown (which was also the stripe colour,so save some!)2.pure AP-WP1120 - Monster Brown3.AP-WP1120 - Monster Brown + AP-WP1102 - MattWhite4.then + AP-WP1102 - Matt WhiteJACKET More brown, but a different brown.
