- When painting very bright colors it can be much easier to start with the darkest shadow and simply add highlights. In this case we begin with a basecoat mixture of Ember Orange and Bloodtracker Brown
- Highlight the Cygnus with Ember Orange
- Apply the second stage of highlights using Cygnus Yellow
- Mix Menoth White Highlight with Cygnus Yellow for the next highlighting stage
- To finish the Cygnus, add extra Menoth White Highlight to the mixture and apply highlights to the upper edge of the swan.
