Step 1

Start by painting the cat's face white and the rest of the cat black. Let dry and add additional coats if needed.

Step 2

Touch the raised areas with the paint pen to add color to each area. Let dry and touch up as needed.
TIP: Shake the paint pens well and gently prime them by pressing the tip on a piece of scrap paper and pushing the barrel up and down until paint fills the tip.
