3. Paint another heart shape inside the first one, still using red paint. ▶ watch 17:30
4. Take a clean, wet brush and run it around the edge of your design to create a soft halo of water. ▶ watch 18:00

Tips uit de show

• Never leave your paintbrush sitting in water as it will rot the fibres.
• Take the water out of your brush by dabbing it on a cloth to control how much moisture you're adding to the paper.
• If you add too much colour and it becomes muddy, let it dry slightly before adding more detail rather than continuing to work on wet paper.
