Notes

  • Be careful not to push too hard with the markers or your fingers. You do not want the tin foil to rip.
  • You can experiment with rubbing alcohol on your permanent markers for an excellent blending effect.
  • Be careful not to smudge the wet marker while you are coloring.
  • If you are using rubbing alcohol, use a little on a Q-tip to blend colors. Don't rub too hard or you will remove the color.
