On the Cotton Ball arrow, paint each letter in a different color, using Iris, Inch Worm, Pink Tropics, Orange Sherbet, True Blue, and Canary. On the Inch Worm arrow, paint the lettering in Green Beret.
- Using a small round brush, paint Pink Tropics, Canary, and Orange Sherbet flowers onto the Inch Worm arrow. Use the same brush to add Green Beret leaves. Add a dot of Canary in the center of each flower.
- Use a large flat brush to roughly brush on True Blue and Green Beret onto the end and tip of the Coastal Waters arrow.
- Use a small round brush to add scales onto the end and tip of the arrow in Coastal Waters.
- Tape off stripes of the end and tip of the Cotton Ball arrow. Paint each stripe in a different color, using True Blue, Canary, Orange Sherbet, Pink Tropics, Inch Worm, and Iris.
