1. Using paper and pencil, design your ornaments.
2. Use graphite transfer paper (black side down), to transfer your design unto the watercolor paper. Use painter’s tape to attach your original design.
3. Using an HB pencil, lightly trace over your design.
4. Choose your color palette. Make an extra copy of your original design and color it.
5. Using the round size 6 and size 2 brushes, begin to paint your ornaments with the opaque watercolors.
6. Using a permanent marker, color in the elements where you will be applying the metallic watercolors. Give the marker a few seconds to dry completely.
7. Using the size 2 brush, activate the metallic watercolor with a little water and apply over the areas you colored with the permanent marker.
8. Use the metallic gold watercolor to add diamond-shaped elements to create a sparkling effect.
