I colored the cross part to mimic wood. First, I added the lightest brown marker color in wavy srtipes along the cross leaving some areas white. Then I added thinner wavy lines of the middle brown color following the wavy pattern of the lightest color. Added just a touch of the darkest brown in a few spots and then blended all of it together with the waterbrush. I had to wait for that to completely dry and then I drew the wavy woodgrain stripes with the fine tip of the tombow marker, and did NOT blend that in.
