Super Brush Nib recolors RV000 blending the border

Go back to the first color and blend the border before drying. Add a lot of ink and really soak it by coloring in circles again.

 

Two Ways to Express a Boundary Line Between Different Colors

 

Sharp
To make strong contrast between two colors, apply the lighter color in a blending group first and apply the next color after previous color has dried.

First image, apply light color. Second image, apply a darker color.

Blurry

If you apply the dark color first, the lighter color may blur the boundary line between two colors.

First, apply dark color. Second, apply lighter color.
