While wet, either draw an outline of a bunny, or trace one from a coloring book or greeting card. Let dry completely. Paint the bunny using the new Pastelles Watercolor Palette. Insert two brads for the eyes. Cut 6, 1-inch pieces of thin black wire for the whiskers. Push the brads and wire into the cement. (Apply a small dab of PPA to the whiskers and brads for extra hold). Dilute Piñata Color with Claro Extender (approximately half Piñata and half Claro). Sponge the mixture onto glossy cardstock to create a pastel background paper.
