Illustration: At a small craft workshop, a doll painter holds a broad brush in one hand and a fine pointed brush in the other. The doll’s smooth base coat is still fresh, and the broad brush carries the same paint. Now the painter uses the fine brush to add one tiny eyelash without touching the surrounding face.
