Heike rolls out a piece of white sugarpaste mixed with CMC, and draws out an outline of her pig.

You’ll learn just how much texture and detail can be achieved with only one size of paintbrush and using only water with the dusts. Remember to clean your paintbrushes and make sure there are no rogue hairs.
