3
- Use oil pastels to colour in the shapes. Only colour the shapes, not the space around the shapes.
- Press hard so you get lots of oil pastel on the paper.

- The oil pastels will resist the watercolour paints.
5
- Look at your painting from a distance to see it with fresh eyes.
- How do the colours make you feel?
