Print off the template for your desired design.
Shade over the back of the template with a soft pencil (e.g. Mars Lumograph 7B).
Tip: The template can be enlarged to whatever size you want at a copy shop, so you can even create A2 size posters.
Attach the template (front side up) to the top corner of your lettering paper using masking tape.
Position the template so that the line of the T in “sweat” is directly over the line of the T beneath the rainbow.
Then go over the lines with a sharp HB pencil, to transfer the design onto the paper.
Before you remove the template, lift up one corner to check that you have transferred all the lines.
Now use the watercolour pencils to create the rainbow, working from the inside to the outside. Start with red, then orange, yellow, green and blue.
Next go over the colours with a paintbrush and some clear water to create a watercolour effect, and leave everything to dry completely.
