3. Cover the panel with a second layer acrylic paint(the edges should also be painted). Wait for the paint to dry.
4. Start laying out all your petals on the panel, starting from the center of the flower. Some of them may need to be trimmed a little to make them look better. You can glue a paper circle in the center of the flower.

Friends, hello.
The cool thing about coloring is that you don't have to have a lot of tools! In this article we will review the most popular felt-tip pens, colored pencils and pens that can be used for both anti-stress coloring books and children's coloring books.
We will look at tools from different manufacturers and give examples of work performed by a specific brand.
If you are a beginner, then inexpensive markers will be enough for you. We do not recommend that you purchase expensive tools from well-known manufacturers from the very beginning. Progress to them gradually as your experience and interest increase.
The coolest combination, in our opinion, is the simultaneous use of markers and pens. Thanks to your specific features, these tools allow you to create really cool effects!
Well, let's move on to the review.
Markers.
Copic company.
We give our preference to this brand of felt-tip pens. A big bonus is that they are refillable!
Colors come out very clearly, with minimal distortion when layering (a known problem with cheap brands). Markers from the Copic Sketch line have two brushes (thin and wide). The first allows you to paint small details of a picture, and with the help of a wide brush it is very convenient to fill large areas of the picture with color.
Copic markers can be purchased individually, so you can gradually add to your collection, starting with your favorite colors. These are professional tools, and everything good, as you know, is expensive. A set of 12 colors will cost you 5,000 - 6,000 rubles, and one felt-tip pen can be purchased for 400 - 600 rubles.
It is worth noting that the price of these markers absolutely corresponds to their quality.
Sharpies company.
Sharpie markers color very accurately and brightly. They are sold individually or in sets. There are markers in neon color, which creates a very beautiful visual effect! Pay attention to these models - Sharpie Fine Point Markers. These are inexpensive markers with an excellent price-quality ratio. You can easily find them in your nearest hypermarket. The average price of one piece is 100 rubles.
Their only drawback is not big choice colors. For example, you won't be able to find a pastel blue shade. We recommend using these markers together with other tools to create beautiful effects.
Prismacolor company.
An excellent option that is also used professional artists, but it is significantly cheaper than Copic. The markers are clear and have a wide range of colors to choose from.
Tombow Company.
In general, the products of this company are positioned as colored pens, but we still classify them as felt-tip pens. Tombow marker brushes are very thin and great for precise coloring. The markers are double-sided, the brushes vary in thickness. These markers are not very suitable for painting large areas, because when layers are applied, the border is clearly visible (unlike Copics).
Crayola company.
These are inexpensive and very common markers that are great not only for kids, but also for adults! A wide selection of colors and excellent quality make them a leader in their price range. These markers are convenient for painting small details and are not very suitable for wide areas, because they leave a boundary line when applying layers.
Among the many types of marker data, we recommend that you use Crayola Super Tips Markers. The downside to these markers is that they dry out quite quickly compared to all the other markers on our list. If this doesn't bother you too much, then these will work just fine for you.
Colour pencils.
Our choice is Prismacolor pencils. Their colors are so clear and rich that if you press the pencil with force, the fully colored picture will look like it was drawn! A huge selection of colors allows you to create very unusual shades and effects. It’s very cool to create shadows using these pencils. The shadow makes the picture more dynamic and interesting.
Colored with Prismacolor colored pencils
Prismacolor has several various types pencils. Pay attention to these - Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. This professional pencils and slightly more expensive. They can be purchased individually (about 80 rubles). This is very convenient, because you don’t have to buy a whole set if you just want to try them out.
For painting very small details, check out the Verithin series. These pencils can be sharpened very finely.
Helium pens.
Sakura company.
These are great pens that we recommend you use. The pens are very thin and come in a wide range of color styles (metallic, glitter, pastel and moonlit). Helium pens are great for highlighting the details of a design. The pen fits perfectly on top of the felt-tip pen, focusing attention on a specific area. It looks very nice.
Fiskars company.
Fiskars - other good brand gel pens. A very affordable set of 48 pieces. The pens are bright and come in many beautiful colors—metallic, neon, glitter, and more.
Pens.
Staedtler Triplus Fineliner.
These are very thin pens, indispensable for precise coloring. Sold as a set and individually.
Paper Mate Flair Guard Pens.
While they don't color as accurately as the other markers and pens we've covered in this article, these pens come in a wide range of colors and are great for coloring small areas. Plus, these pens aren't very expensive - always a plus!
Friends, we hope you liked our review. Share your experiences and thoughts with us in the comments! We wish you good luck and a great mood!
unexpectedly, but since there are many techniques, I decided to write with examples.
(all pictures are not mine)
What is not suitable is wax crayons in general, thick felt-tip pens (from 1.5 mm tip), thick watercolor pencils, unless you know how to use them in watercolor mode and do not plan to paint small details.
what is needed:
1. different felt-tip markers
With a super thin tip (0.3 mm or less), it is impossible to paint large volumes - they are best used for small contours or finishing touches. medium size (0.4-0.8) is possible, but you need to carefully monitor the layers and that they do not overlap each other - with felt-tip pens this does not always look neat. I categorically do not recommend felt-tip pens to those who love precision and accuracy in applying color. In principle, you can draw with a felt-tip pen on a felt-tip pen, but only darker ones on lighter ones. Thin light liners get dirty the same way. about brands: people complain that sharpie creeps and spreads even after application, but this greatly depends on the paper.
with a brush tip (watercolor).
watercolor brush pen
but it’s better to take double-sided ones - a brush on one side, and a dense tip on the other 
and metal markers. You just need to be careful with them, some of them leak heavily.
metallic marker
But use wide markers very well. hard 
2. regular colored pencils. minus - it is slow and cannot be as bright as markers and pens. plus - they can be mixed, unlike felt-tip pens. They can also be combined with any others - felt-tip pens, markers, pens, watercolors.
The trick with pencils is that you don’t have to press as hard as you did in childhood. It is better to cover in several layers. Well, light shading gives you a lot of maneuvers - you can do graduations and mix colors as you like. You just need to remember about the direction of the strokes - it’s better not to change them within one place object. you can make a layer in one direction, and on top of the other at an angle to it. if you draw in zigzags, it may not turn out very neatly.
These two, of course, were painted by a pro... 
those for whom it is important to be able to play everything back should color using erasable pencils. I'm talking about them
There is also a convenient version - double-sided pencils, with different colors. this saves space, and still the long ones almost never end unless you draw professionally. but if you buy them they’re just short (Crayola has them), it’s inconvenient for an adult to hold
colleen colored pencil
3. watercolor colored pencils. usually expensive. but you can get the advantages of both pencils and watercolors at the same time 
4. watercolor - the paper for coloring books should be quite thick. near the world-famous "enchanted forest" - just quite suitable 
5. multi-color pencils are those pencils where the lead is not one color, but from a pack of different pigments. There are versions in shades, there are completely mixed ones - rainbow ones
6. gel pens. best professional with a large selection of colors. minus - they run out quickly.
bright night gel pen
you can also take gel pens with different effects - metallic, glitter, etc.
in this set they also come in different thicknesses. but not cheap professional quality %(

about technology
I strongly recommend that before you start coloring the page, you test new felt-tip pens/markers/pencils somewhere separately. check that nothing is leaking, even if you accidentally make 2-3-4 layers. This is especially critical for perfectionists. Experienced fighters generally recommend placing a sheet of paper between the pages to be sure.
You don't have to stick to the contours. you can color by ignoring them and creating your own color waves. 
or vice versa, smaller entities inside existing drawn objects - textures, new patterns, etc. 
and you can do without different colors altogether 
don't forget about the background. you can leave it white, or you can make it dark, multi-colored, or add texture too 
It is not necessary to follow any rules in colors. you can generally choose an object to color and with eyes closed random color. 
if you want guaranteed beauty, then you should first decide on the spectrum and general rules shading, especially if the objects are small. for example, the leaves are always purple with a red edge, and not at random. If you like rules, follow them; if you don’t, don’t follow them. and you don’t have to follow what’s written here either)
In this article we will talk about how to decorate your home with your own hands. Our master classes will help you implement ready-made ideas, and a selection of photos with many cool decorations will help you get inspired to create your own.
Undoubtedly big role Accessories play a role in interior design: vases, interesting details, colorful decorative pillows, figurines, etc. To prevent them from turning into simple “dust collectors”, it is not necessary to invite a designer. If you wish, you can handle this task yourself. The main thing here is to keep the decorations in uniform style, which would not get out of general interior rooms or the whole house.
However, each room needs an individual solution. For example, frivolous decorations such as decorative brooms, amulets, fruits, and wicker baskets are not suitable for the living room. These accessories will look better as kitchen decor.
We sew a decorative pillow for the living room
One of the most functional decorations for the living room are pillows (see photo). In addition, they have great aesthetic value. They can be made from contrasting materials or matched to the main color of the interior. You can make such decorative pillows with your own hands. Even a novice needlewoman can handle this.
Almost any material you like is suitable for making pillows, but it must meet certain criteria:
- keeps its shape perfectly;
- be resistant to washing;
- be hypoallergenic.
Another concern is to choose the right material for the filler. It is better to give preference here to foam rubber and silicone. And one more thing: it is better to prefer dense material for a pillowcase, and its color should be light, if possible, without patterns. Here the optimal choice would be cotton.
Having decided on the material, we proceed to selecting the shape of the pillow. It all depends on your personal preferences, as well as on the interior of the room. So, if it is maintained in strict classic style, then pillows in the style will be inappropriate patchwork.
The most popular forms pillows:
- square;
- round;
- rectangular.
Let's move on to sewing pillows.
Advice! The most successful seam for sewing covers and pillowcases is linen. We combine the parts and sew them right sides up. Iron them carefully and then sew them down. The crumbling edge of the material will thus end up inside the seam. This protects it from falling off.
Master class for children
The children's room provides a huge choice for imagination and bringing ideas to life, because children love bright and original things. And if you involve them in doing simple crafts under your guidance, then this process will turn into a real game.
Let's look at some ideas on how to make a toy with your own hands. She will not only become original decoration for a children's room, but also true friend for your child.
Materials you will need:
- fabric in two colors (it is advisable to choose one that will not shrink when washed);
- sewing supplies;
- buttons;
- filler (sintepon is suitable).
Advice! Select a pattern in advance or make it yourself to make the toy more neat.
Then cut out the pattern and transfer it to the material. In order to make the toy's ears, nose and paws, you can use fabric of a different color, maybe contrasting.
We sew together the parts of the head with our own hands. The front part of the head is formed by three parts. We sew the front and back parts, not forgetting to insert the previously prepared ears. We fill the toy with filler gradually, while assembling individual parts. And you will get a toy, as in the photo above.
