Dramatic Mountain LandscapeGouache and oil crayon on Guardi Artistico paper
Posted for Inspire Me Thursday's Crayon Art theme.
I use this technique quite frequently, starting with light shades of oil crayon, then painting over the crayon with gouache or watercolor. The waxy crayon repels the water-based paint, creating an interesting effect. Thanks to the excellent picture quality of my new reflex camera, not much work on the digital image is needed to obtain colors that are close to the original.
