7. Use Liner brush loaded with Apple Green and brush leaves on flippers and leaves on penguin’s back.
8. Make more pencil dots to create Neon Red flower with Bright Butternut center on back of penguin just above the tail. Add Apple Green leaves on each side below flower. Let dry.
9. Scratch in stem between leaves on flippers and back. Scratch deep enough to ensure the white bisque shows through.

NOTE: If desired, fire penguin without the Pure Brilliance at witness cone 06. Once the colors have set, brush one coat of Pure Brilliance to face and stomach (white) areas. Let dry. Apply a second, more diluted Pure Brilliance coat to entire penguin. Firing twice may prevent any smearing of colors when brushing on Pure Brilliance.
