Thanks for the advice!

My wife has been having trouble with deamonettes. With my previous experience being the old ink washes from yesteryear, I made the mistake of telling her to slather it on and let it sink into the lower areas. Bad move. First one looked awful. After repainting with the base coat, and applying to select areas, it still looks blotchy. Gonna have to try thinning it down tonight and having another go at it.
