Tipps aus der Show

• You don't need a straw—you can hollow out a pen or tightly roll up a piece of copy paper to blow paint through.
• Leave the card to dry naturally if possible, as watercolour looks even better when fully air-dried rather than heat-dried.
• Don't worry about colours going over the stamped image; the expression and loose, artistic quality is more important than photorealism.
