• Start drawing using the 2B pencil, do a light sketch first. You don't have to draw the whole display you can just sketch one part of it.
• When you've drawn the display with pencil start painting with the black ink.
• You can thin the ink with a little water if you want a lighter shade.
• When you do the vase with flowers, try not to do each individual leaf or flower but try to do some of the marks you learnt in lesson 13.
• Do the shading on the display but add water with ink if the shadow is light ... back
