Then check which colors need to be applied to the numbered areas. Important: Only paint with one color at a time - from the larger to the smaller areas. This will prevent you from constantly washing the brushes. Start painting with the dark colors first and finish with the very light colors. Let the painted areas dry first before you start with the other colors. Use the fine brushes to fill the areas completely with color right up to the edge. Be patient and take your time painting the motif.
