When working with Chigirie, follow these steps to avoid a muddy-looking design. Today’s tips are especially important if you are new to this art form. Like oils, watercolors, and other mediums, applying too much paper will give your design a muddy look and blur your original ideas. 

1. When purchasing your paper, ask for help. There are hundreds of papers available and choosing options can be daunting.
2. Make every piece of paper you apply purposeful. If it doesn’t enhance your design, think twice before you use it.
3. First-time students should carefully plan the colors they select and stick to that palette.
4. Vary the paper weight and thin the paper to show softer tones.
5. Understand perspective so you understand how to create a realistic more 3-D look.

Take a class to learn the basic, intermediate, and advanced techniques.
