We therefore recommend you order a tester pot online or pop in store to pick one up so you are sure that this is the right colour for you.

Step 1

Sketch the subject. Use a pencil to draw the main forms of your landscape: the trunks, branches, stream. then define the areas of shadow and light that you observed on your model. Use a light stroke.

The stroke in the photo is strong, to make it visible.

Step 2

Stump the line by rolling the kneaded eraser all over the paper. Because watercolors are transparent, it is essential to erase the construction lines from drawings as much as possible before applying paint, because any line that remains visible cannot be erased later.

Step 3

Dip the wash brush in clear water, then lightly moisten the following surfaces from top to bottom and left to right: the sky, the grass and the stream.

Step 1: Gather and ready your materials

Pick two paint colors that you like together and also think about “who” these people are that you’re making. If they’re your sister or your mom you may want to do two shades of pink or purple. If it’s a dad and son, two shades of blue. Or you can stick with a more versatile version and paint them both white like normal Willow Trees.

Sand wood pieces . Make sure to sand all sides because you will want to paint all sides.

Paint wood pieces. If you’re painting both pieces white then it doesn’t really matter what piece you do first, but if you have two shades of a color, paint the lighter shade first so you can use the same brush for the darker shade.

Paint heart. Don’t forget the sides (and the back too if you’re picky).

Step 2: Glue rectangles

If there are any blemishes in the wood, put your glue on that side so you won’t be able to see it. It is important to make sure they stand up straight so put them together and then press their ends on the table as you wait for the glue to dry.

Step 3: Grab your twine!

Cut twine . Decide how thick you want your twine to be and cut enough so it wraps around like you want.

Glue twine. Glue the other end of the twine to the back like you did the first end. If it looks like you might not have enough to reach, unravel it once and cut it so it lines up right.
