Drawing
Tape your card to a board using masking tape. Tape two sides and
the bottom leaving an equal margin under the tape (1/4”). Tape
across the fold leaving the same amount of margin. Leaving this
white border around the image frames your painting.
Draw a preliminary sketch on your paper. Be sure to make it dark enough to be able to follow as you paint. If you are an inexperienced artist, choose a subject which is not too detailed until you are more experienced.
Be sure a have a thickly folded paper towel to wipe brushes or clean up excess water.
