Time Duration: 15 minutes
Skill Level: Beginner
Other Items Needed:
- Cotton Swab
Directions:
Step 1: On a sheet of Black DIY Cover Sketchbook - Large, choose a central point to be the burst of your firework. From there, draw long, sweeping lines that go outward in all directions using OOLY Color Sheen Metallic Colored Pencils. Lines should vary in length depending on how big or small you want your fireworks to be.
Step 2: Using Paintology Acrylic Paint Set - Classic Colors - Set of 12, pick out the colors for your fireworks. While we used red, white, and blue to celebrate Independence Day, feel free to choose any colors that spark your imagination!
Step 3: With a cotton swab, select one color and add dots along one of the lines to mimic the explosion of fireworks in the night sky. Switch colors and repeat this process for each line until your entire firework is colored.
Step 4: To add extra vibrancy and glittery texture to your fireworks, use Silver Linings Outline Markers - Set of 6 to add additional lines and dots in between the paint clusters.
Step 5: Display your vibrant firework designs, adding a festive touch to your home this Fourth of July!
