- Brush the wings with three coats of SC-53 Purple Haze with CB-604 Soft Fan.
- Brush the body top and the tail with two coats of SC-43 Lettuce Alone with CB-604 Soft Fan.
- While the body section is drying, brush two coats of SC-55 Yella Bout It to the front section of the head, and SC-16 Cotton Tail to the back section of the head, (only about an inch area at the front of the face, and the back of the head). Punch out 1/4" dots from a paper punch, stick to the Yella Bout It and the Cotton Tail.
- Once the tail and body is dry, tape with 9 pieces of 1/2" tape in a stripe pattern.
- Now that all the design areas are resisted with paper or tape, brush the top head area with SC-43 Lettuce Alone, add SC-11 Blue Yonder to the tip of the CB-106 Script Liner, and the lower secion of the brush with SC-43 Lettuce Alone to fade the color from green to blue at the bottom secton of the top head area. Apply 2-3 coats, Remove the paper dots after the last coat of glaze.
- Brush the lower head with 2-3 coats of SC-11 Blue yonder, add a SC-13 Grapel fade to the top section of the lower head, remove the paper dots.

Brush two coats of S-15 Tuxedo to the pupil. Dot the pupil with SC-16 Cotton Tail for the highlight.
