Step-by-step
Step 1
You can see everything you need at a glance in our photo. In our example, we used edding 751 gloss paint markers in the colours gold and pastel rose. The pens are available either individually or as part of a set.
Step 2
You can either sketch out your design in pencil first or, if you prefer, just go straight for the gloss paint markers. You can trace over any pencil outlines using the edding 751 gloss paint marker. Before use, the marker needs to be activated as follows: shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on, then remove the cap, place the nib on absorbent paper and pump it up and down a few times until ink appears in the nib (and after use, always replace the cap securely and store the marker horizontally.)
Step 3
The pattern is made up of dainty, irregular lines in pastel rose topped with little gold circles, giving the impression of swaying grasses. You can see the finished result here.
