Designer Tips:
- Brush the owls with steel wool.
- Use a fine paintbrush to apply inks to the surface of the owls, starting with the pitch black color.
- Let the ink dry, steel wool, then apply the other colors to achieve the desired look.
- You can apply the alcohol blending solution to fix mistakes before the inks dry and re-apply.
- Seal the colorized components before assembling.
