Time to screw up things.

Skill : Begineer

Materials Required :

• Flat / single slot screws
• Color Mixing plate
• Water Color
• Paint Brush

Step 1: Choosing Screw

Take a screw. The choice of screw is important. It is preferable to have a screw with long length so as to assist in holding. I also tried with Phillips screw (screw head with four cuts) but impressions were not proper.

Step 2: Mixing Colour

Use brush to color the head of the screw. Have a visual inspection to make sure that the screw head is properly coated with colour. The water content in the colour should be minimal.

Step 3: Getting Impressions

Now put the screw on the drawing sheet and press hold for 5 secs.

Repeat the above steps to fill the required shape.

In case you need to change color, it is preferred to use a new screw.
