Step-by-step
Step 1
Place the provided template underneath the paper and draw the flamingos in pencil. Colour in the flamingos any way you like with the brush pens. You can mix the colours to make any colour combination with the help of the Brush Pen Colour Mixer.
Step 2
Use the Pastel Pen – Soft White to lighten individual sections; the more times you colour over an area, the more pastel the original shade becomes. You can use the edding 1800 profipen to add extra touches to your motif.
Step 3
The feathers on the place cards are also drawn with the edding 1340 brush pens. Paint over the colours with a damp brush dipped in water to achieve a fantastic watercolour effect, using the brush to spread and dilute the colours a little. The edding 1340 brush pen is also great for writing names on the place cards in stylish hand lettering.
