Hi, after a few years of not painting, the corona virus made me pick up the brushes again. Every time I start a new phase of my erratic painting schedule there is a little ritual: I try to paint Laurana from the old LTPK2, struggle with her scroll, strip the paint off, try again and then give up to paint something else. The instructions tell me to paint the scroll in white, make a black wash and then dry brush in white and voila, the writing on the scroll will magicly appear. Except that it doesn't, it just becomes a complete mess. What am I doing wrong? What could I do instead? My freehand skills are nonexistent, so the obvious solution (and the one I see done very often on this mini) doesn't work for me. Leaving the scroll blank, because "she just cast the spell and it has disappeared" feels like cheating. I would be really glad for some hints to point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help!

Ok here is my attempt to recreate Laurana from the LTPK2 using the LTPK2 WIP Thread. Thanks to all who posted. Thanks for Viewing

Finally finished my Laurana from Learn to Paint Kit 2:
