Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to create art. One day, while exploring an old museum, she discovered an embossed picture that caught her eye. She was fascinated by the intricate designs and wanted to learn more about it. She asked the curator about the picture and he explained to her that it was created by etching the design into metal and then painting it.

Lily was inspired and decided to try it herself. She mixed different colors of paint to create a unique shade and used a fine brush to outline the design on a piece of metal. She then carefully etched the design and painted it with the new color. After it dried, she was so proud to see her creation on display in her room.

Years went by, and Lily became a famous artist known for her restored masterpieces. She had a special exhibit at a museum and everyone was amazed by her work. People also admired the original embossed picture that inspired her, which was also part of the exhibit.

One day, a little boy came to the exhibit and asked Lily how she created her art. She told him the story of her discovery and showed him how to mix colors, outline designs, and etch metal. The little boy was so excited that he went home and tried it himself. Before long, he became a talented artist too.

And that is the story of how Lily and the little boy learned to mix, outline, etch, paint, restore, print, and exhibit their art to the world.
