All of Green's works at this show are built on a foundation of graphite grisaille, brought to life with layers of colored pencil, and adorned with an ethereal UV varnish.
They make hundreds of gum paste petals by hand and apply layer upon layer of color with pencil-fine paintbrushes, until the flowers are indiscernible from the real thing.
Blend a thick layer of lipstick into the lips and pencil line.
Graphite, the stuff of pencil lead, has long been known to consist of layers of carbon stacked on top of one another like a deck of cards.
When you're done adding the layer of glitter, smooth it down with a pencil, and then shake out the excess glitter onto a piece of paper.
Keep your pencil case free of pencil shavings, as they ruin pens, rubbers and pencils.
In fact, I can't resist them: they taste and feel like salty pencil erasers with an inner layer of softened fingernail.
Once your initial layer of water has dried, you can dip the pencils themselves into the water to add areas of intense color or details.
While holding the twisted piece of paper onto the eraser end of the pencil, dip it into a very thin layer of basic craft glue.
