I colored the apple, not only using red but also other colors because I gave it a bit of shading.
In the end, I smeared the wax a bit with my finger to give it an extra matte effect.
The kid was meanwhile on his second card, and when he looked up at me, I showed him the apple.
He applauded silently while my grandmother looked through the other cards.
I smirked; it's just an apple, and nobody really uses wax colors because they are terrible to draw with, so there's no need to make such a fuss.
The next card was 'Boat', and I also added a sea around the black outline of the boat and a sunrise on the horizon.
Showing it to the kid, he got even more excited.
I slowly figured out the way this lesson was going and wasn't surprised when I got a carp as the next card.
So I gave it a very heterosexual rainbow skin without using pink or purple.
In the end, we went through the whole fucking thing—the whole alphabet—and I eventually had all the colored cards stacked beside me.
