Also, it's important that you get the marker wet. If you didn't use the right paper or if your marker isn't bleeding well, you can alway add a little watercolor. Another trick is to rub the marker on a shiny surface, such as a plastic lid, then use a wet brush to "pick up" the color and paint with it.Expressive Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558399810834528483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901712549482464658.post-71578568949013256672020-12-02T11:51:46.089-08:002020-12-02T11:51:46.089-08:00I did this with 3rd grade.
