Step 1

To prep your paints, pour different colors of paint into separate sections of the tray or palette. Prepare one Q-tip for each paint color.

Step 2

Dip a Q-tip into the paint and practice making dots, lines, or squiggles on a scrap piece of paper. Try different movements and pressures to see the variety of marks that can be made.

Step 3

Create a background. It can be anything from simple shapes to more detailed landscapes or characters. Be creative!
