@waltmade: - I always start by sketching out my scene really lightly with almost no detail since things can change along the way (and they always do) - Next I grab the lightest color, usually yellow or white, and map out where the highlights are going to live. - Then I layer in the medium tones across the whole page and after that I add the darker colors like blues and purples (rarely black) - Once everything is more or less covered I dip a brush in water and start breaking the crayons down right on the paper. These silky crayons which are specifically “water soluble”, so they basically melt into being similar to paint. - I usually build about 3 to 4 layers so the colors shift from looking like watercolor into something bolder and thicker, almost like oil pastels. - To finish I add one last layer that I barely blend allowing the texture of the crayons themselves to show. And then it’s done!! - just back away and stare at it from a distance for about 40 mins #artprocess #howtopaint #crayonart #mixedmediaart #sketchbookart
