Asterisks' Sky Christmas Card

Step 3 Painting sky

For painting sky, use the thick paintbrush and choose blue colour. First take very little water and test it.

Then take more water and colour and apply to a part of the card, and quickly apply the tissue to absorb part of the water colour. You will notice the colour is fading, but don't worry.

Repeat the process with light, dark blue and purple (or your favourite combination of colours). Before applying a new colour, you can add water to sheet for cloudy effect.

While the paint remains wet you can modify it, and correct it adding water and using the tissue. Then let it dry up completely before continue.

Pay attention to this clues:

• Do not fill the entire surface: leave blank zones among brushstrokes.
• Do not get to borders: leave blank border all around the card too.
• Do not move the tissue over the paint: just hit and separate it carefully.
• If the paper is so absorbent, work in small zones.
• Do not try to correct colour when it is completely dry.
