Tipps aus der Show

• Easel cards can be displayed standing up or folded flat, giving you two different card designs in one.
• Use pale watercolour washes first and build up darker shades gradually to avoid mistakes.
• When spraying ink in a box with kitchen paper, the paper catches excess spray and prevents waste.
