Accept the challenge of venturing into the paints and have the beautiful experience of seeing your idea appear on the canvas? Then... • Define the image you want to paint and have at hand good references that will serve as guides for your painting. • Draw on your canvas using the technique of decal, observing all the important contours of the image, marking the details, the highlights, the shadow regions or the color transitions.
