Top Tip

It’s easier to draw the dinosaur outline onto black card with a pale coloured pencil. After cutting out the shape, turn it over so the pencil lines are hidden.

  1. Use masking tape to secure an A4 white card to your work surface or thick card.
  2. Tape along all 4 edges.
  3. Pour some coloured inks into a mixing tray so they are ready to use.
  4. Brush clean water over the white paper, then quickly apply the first coloured inks in broad horizontal strokes.
  5. Quickly rinse your brush before applying the next colour. The inks will blend as they spread. Leave it dry.
  6. Draw a simple dinosaur outline onto A4 black card then cut it out.
  7. Remove the masking tape from the edges of the background card then trim the sides.
  8. Cut out strip of black card then glue it along the bottom of the background with some cut-out plant or tree shapes.
  9. Glue the dinosaur onto the background.
