Directions:
Step 1: Fold the color diffusing circle into quarters and use a Metallic Sharpie Marker to draw a design on the first
quarter.
Step 2: Unfold once, so that half of the paper is showing. Flip the half circle over and trace the other side of the
design where it has bled through the paper.
Step 3: Repeat tracing on next two sections until the entire circle is finished and has a symmetrical design
covering the entire sheet.
Step 4: Outline the Metallic Sharpie Marker with Black Sharpie Marker to highlight the Metallic Sharpie and give it
a shadowy look.
Step 5: Fold the circle into quarters again. On the top layer, fill in the white spaces with watercolor markers; this
example uses Prang Classic Markers.
Step 6: Use a stiff paint brush to saturate the watercolor marker areas with water. Keep saturating the marker
until it bleeds through all four layers of the diffusing paper.
Step 7: Unfold the color diffusing paper and allow design to dry.
