How to do it

1 Prepare everything you need as shown in the picture. We are now going to make colour circles. Colour circles are used to experiment with how different colours 'work' together.

11 Paint the last 1/3 of the circle and watch the colours flow together. Experiment with different colours on the page. Colour experiments can be used as inspiration for imaginary figures.

12 We are now going to make imaginary figures with inspiration from our colour experiments. Prepare everything you will need.

21 Paint the last 1/3 of the wet area with the colour. Continue until you have filled the entire page. Use whichever colours you want – there is no right or wrong.

32 Now we’re going to make imaginary figures without a template. Find everything you will need, including the colour experiments if you want to use them as inspiration.

41 Paint the last 1/3 with that colour. Repeat until the page is filled with imaginary animals and allow to dry.

52 Let the colours flow towards the middle as shown in the picture. Repeat the process with other colours.

53 Now let’s make hearts using our heart-shaped cookie cutter. Find everything you will need as shown in the picture.

55 Hold the heart down against the paper. Paint half the heart and remember to keep the heart against the paper throughout the process.

82 Now we’re going to paint butterflies in a side view. Prepare everything you will need as shown in the picture.

107 Paint the body of the butterfly. Use one of the different techniques to paint the last butterfly.

108 Now we’re going to paint butterflies using our imagination. Remember, there is no right or wrong way – have fun and experiment. Prepare everything you will need, as shown in the picture.
