This may take several coats. Using the old toothbrush and thin paint, splatter with the following 4 colors. Let one color dry before going to the next one in case it is necessary to wipe off the latest color. The colors are: Hauser Green Dark, Napa Red, Hauser Green Light and Cherry red. Apply pattern and basecoat the leaves with Hauser Green Medium.
