Step 1

Squeeze a little metallic paint onto a paper plate (or palette paper); then add water to the barrel of your water brush.

Step 2

Now, squeeze the barrel of your brush and allow it to get saturated with water as well as dilute the Copper paint. Paint the body of your gingerbread man. Let dry.
TIP: Try to stay inside the lines as best as you can for a clean look.

Step 3

Use paint pens to highlight details, such as the gingerbread man’s eyes, nose, mouth, bow, buttons and the squiggle lines on his arms and legs. Let dry.
